There's always a fast-moving line out the door, and not just because of the prices. Great-tasting snacks make this Westwood shop a sugar-stuffed landmark.

In business for more than two decades, this store made headlines in 2002 with the announcement that the price of a cookie would rise to 35 cents. The world has apparently recovered. For a post-movie snack or an afternoon pick-me-up, choose two cookies (any flavor), slap some ice cream in between (any flavor!), and you have the world's best sandwich for $1.25. With a dozen ice-cream flavors and ten different cookies, the number of different possible combinations is—well, let's just say the number is a lot. Want a meal before your dessert? Hot dogs are sold for $1.35.
