C is for Cookie. But also cannoli, cheesecake, cream puffs and cupcakes. I'm so glad we have Mazzaros in St. Pete because I only get to visit Boston a couple times a year. The first stop is always at Mike's Pastry in the Italian North End. I try to be responsible and get dinner first (usually Chicken Parmeasan at Giacomo's a couple blocks away). But there are times where you just have to skip right to dessert. Once you see all these pics, you'll know why. If you ever go to Boston, you'll see their white boxes in the hands of tourists and locals all over the city.

These are the white boxes you see all over Boston.

This is how it usually looks inside... you don't have much room to move. And bring cash... they don't take credit cards!

My first time trying Mike's cheesecake. Incredible. I went simple: chocolate chip.

Cannoli is really the star of the show at Mike's. Try the Geno Cannoli - order a peanut butter cannoli and ask 'em to roll the edges in chocolate chips!

Ok... there's NO lobster in this. It's just the name. It's filled with a whipped cream/frosting mix that's INCREDIBLE. These things are enormous. Definitely share one.

A New England thing... if you never have had a Whoopie Pie, seek one out if you ever visit! Two chocolate cakes with a frosting middle.

Nutella fan?

Had one of these. Again, great. But not terribly unique.

Had one of these today... excellent. But I'd go with cannoli or cheesecake on your first visit!

This is usually the first thing I get. If you love Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, you'll love these.
