Cookie shops are kicking cupcakes to the curb, drawing lines that have ‘gotten out of hand’ over NYC’s latest food obsession

That’s just the way the cookie crumbles.
People travel to NYC for many different reasons. Jordan White, 34, came all the way from Michigan with her husband — to spend their honeymoon eating cookies.
She got in line at Red Gate, the East Village hot spot bakery known for supposedly having the best chocolate chip cookie in NYC, hoping to catch a glimpse and grab a bite of one.
But when she arrived at 68 E. First St., a few hours before their 6 p.m. closing, there was a disheartening sign on the door saying they were sold out.
“There was a group of young people who walked up behind me and were audibly disappointed,” she recalled to The Post.
“After seeing Red Gate was closed, I ended up walking over to Supermoon Bakehouse and tried their chocolate chip and Maldon sea salt cookie,” White shared. “It was good, but I probably wouldn’t rate it among the highest on my list just based on personal preference.”
