"Partybus is known for their breads, but the monster cookies here deserve acclaim too. They’re perfectly round and have some heft to them, but not so much that you feel like you’re holding a hockey puck when you pick one up. They come in a few different flavors, but we’re partial to the classic chocolate chip—which gets a textural punch from oatmeal—and the deeply satisfying, brownie-like double chocolate. The texture is chewy without being too soft, and there’s a distinctly buttery flavor to the dough." - carina finn koeppicus, neha talreja
"Partybus Bakeshop on the LES not only has the best bakery name in all of the city—it’s also an excellent place to eat carbs in all of their many virtuous forms. To prepare for the holiday, preorder one of their pies, which are also available for walk-ins. There are classic flavors like brown butter pecan, chocolate chess, and apple. They have extended hours for pickup and walk-ins on Tuesday, 11/23, and Wednesday, 11/24, from 9am to 6pm." - hannah albertine, carina finn koeppicus

"It ended up being Golden Diner, Kopitiam, Party Bus Bake Shop, Saigon Social, and Nom Wah Nolita."
