"Cookbook is where anyone who cosplays Alison Roman will inevitably spend a lot of money. This white bungalow is the third and largest location of the boutique grocery store, stocked with tinned fish, biodynamic wines, and farmers' market produce spilling out of rustic baskets. The main reason to go here, however, is for a lovely al fresco lunch at the attached cafe. Curated by the Jon & Vinny folks, the menu is essentially a collection of fancy sandwich-salad-soup combos, most of which are quite good. You can take in the sunshine, slurp $14 chicken broth, and eat a buttered cheese toastie filled with caramelized leeks in true "Larchmont chic" fashion." - brant cox, sylvio martins
