Levain Bakery’s Noho Location Is Opening Very Soon | Eater NY

"I'm excited that the legendary half-pound chocolate chip cookies from Levain Bakery are finally headed to downtown Manhattan: the iconic uptown bakery tells TimeOut that their Noho storefront will open to the masses at 340 Lafayette Street, at Bleecker Street, on February 26. Co-owners Pam Weekes and Connie McDonald have been serving gooey chocolate chip cookies for more than 25 years and drawing lines out the door, and the new Bleecker location will bring Levain’s New York total to six (two on the Upper West Side, one on the Upper East, one in Harlem, and one in the Hamptons), with a seventh rumored for Williamsburg as the owners push to expand the brand nationwide." - Luke Fortney
