Ruby et Violette
Who doesn’t love cookies? Personally, I am hoping the cookie craze overpowers the cupcake craze in NYC. One of my favorite spots for cookies is Ruby et Violette on 50th Street between 9th and 10th Avenues. They serve homemade ice cream with their cookie dough too!

Both the book and the film are set in New York City and both are worth a little attention. I saw the movie before reading [...]
