I await to step inside Levain’s humble yet magical bakery in Manhattan’s upper west side. The inviting smell of chocolate, coffee, and brown sugar is enough to lure anybody inside. Levain Bakery’s chocolate chip cookies will forever be one of my favorites. These cookies are massive, thick, and chewy. Gooey on the inside and perfectly crispy on the outside, these cookies are absolute heaven on earth. If God was a cookie, He would be a Levain. Choose from an assortment of chocolate chip walnut, dark chocolate chocolate chip, dark chocolate peanut butter chip, oatmeal raisin, and of course, the classic original chocolate chip cookie. 

I love to buy a batch and gift them to my co-workers, neighbors, friends, my acupuncturist, and anybody else who I think would enjoy them. Giving makes my heart happy and makes me feel good. I give not with the expectation of receiving something in return, but to give thanks and joy to others. It warms my heart and soul knowing that I put a smile on somebody else’s face. 

Giving is one of the kindest gestures we as humans can make towards others. In a world that tries to divide, we must remind ourselves that we are all ONE.

Love is always the answer.
