"From NYC with Love" Cookies + Candle + Tea Towel Gift Set

The “From NYC, With Love” bundle is the sweetest gift around. Yes, of course, it comes with 4 ooey, gooey cookies (Chocolate Chip Walnut, Dark Chocolate Chocolate Chip, Oatmeal Raisin & Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip)… but there’s more!

Literie’s “Afternoon in Central Park” candle smells of summer days in Sheep Meadow (but definitely not the horses), with notes of grass & bergamot. Close your eyes and imagine you got a warm cookie at W. 74th Street, and you’re savoring every morsel on a bench in the park. Then, wipe the crumbs away with a custom tea towel by Claudia Pearson, illustrated with New York City icons we know and love. And just like that, the perfect NYC gift.

Levain Bakery founders Pam Weekes and Connie MacDonald didn’t plan on creating one of the most popular and influential cookies the world has ever seen – but they did! When they opened their tiny bakery on New York’s Upper West Side back in 1995, they initially intended on only selling fresh-baked breads. But when they decided to whip up a batch of giant chocolate chip walnut cookies, a phenomenon was born. “The cookie,” as it came to be known, soon took on a life of its own. Crowds began to line up for a taste, and the buzz hasn’t died down since.
