Insomnia Cookies

Midtown’s late-night dessert scene has shifted since the Murray Hill days. Insomnia Cookies on 3rd Avenue keeps the tradition alive at 482 3rd Ave, New York, NY 10016, trading campus crowds for city strollers after dark. Treat yourself to fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies, warm cookie sandwiches stuffed with vanilla or mint chip ice cream, or gooey brownies that vanish faster than a subway train leaving the station. Midnight pick-me-ups come in oatmeal raisin, snickerdoodle, or double chocolate—pick your weakness. Grab a dozen for the walk home or try a classic milk-and-cookie pairing at the counter. They close later than most bakeries around here, so the craving no longer has to wait. Call (929) 226-6392 if the line at the door looks longer than a Broadway queue. The place is a five-minute detour from Herald Square, easy to plot on the map at https://www.google.com/maps/place?ftid=0x89c25906218c7797:0x51ee4af8fc4ca46e.
