On a recommendation, I headed to Glen Cove to try the chocolate chip cookie at St. Rocco’s Bakery. People have claimed that St. Rocco’s Bakery has the greatest chocolate chip cookies are on earth.

Pantano’s Neighborhood Eatery — A Poor Relative
June 27, 2024
I decided to try the Pantano’s Neighborhood Eatery in Plainview thinking that it was an offshoot of Pantano’s Gourmet.
