NEW YORK—Like getting deliveries? This is the list for you.
1. Milkmade Ice Cream
Does a pint of hand-made, salted watermelon ice cream, sourced locally and organically, delivered to your door sound too good to be true? Not anymore.
With a $30-per-month membership, Milkmade will deliver two pints of avant-garde ice cream to your doorstep once a month.
You get two flavors of the month—past adventurous flavors include Spiced Apple Cider Donut, White Russian Chip, and even a Sriracha ice cream—which they made after receiving multiple requests.
It makes sense, right? After all, dairy is known to help with spicy food.
The Trail Mix flavor was also a hit—it consists of malted vanilla ice cream with trail mix fixings and a butterscotch swirl.
The local NYC delivery is included in the price. Milkmade alway uses locally-sourced and sustainable ingredients—which are listed on their website.
For the Peanut Butter Jelly, the milk and cream comes from Ronnybrook Farm Dairy, a family run organic farm in Ancramdale, New York; the concord grapes come from Red Jacket Orchard, a sustainable fruit producer located in the Finger Lakes Region of New York; and the peanut butter is sourced from the Saratoga Peanut Butter Company.
It’s a small company right now. During the first full week of the month, the “Milkmaids” handcraft and hand pack each pint, then head out on foot, bike, subway, skateboard, and Zipcar to hand deliver the pints to your door, the company website says.
Soon, they say, shipping will be available to those who live outside of New York City.
2. Insomnia Cookies
We all have those nights. When Athena’s owl is next to us, and we want to stay up to contemplate profound things about life that will mean nothing the next morning—why not do it with some cookies?
Insomnia Cookies was founded in 2003 by Seth Berkowitz, a college student at University of Pennsylvania who made and delivered cookies from his dorm room for those darn kids who don’t want to go to sleep and there’s no one to tell them they have to.
Due to popular demand, Insomnia Cookies has more than 30 locations today.
They deliver 12 varieties of fresh baked cookies as late as 3 a.m. most nights.
One cookie costs $1.50. Flavors include: Chocolate Chunk; Snickerdoodle; Double Chocolate Mint; Sugar; Double Chocolate Chunk; and White Chocolate Macadamia.

For $3 each, Insomnia Cookies sell deluxe cookies which includes: the S’mores Deluxe; Triple Chocolate; and Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup.
Is it hard to make decisions late at night? You can also get the insomnia sampler, which gives you one of each cookie, including the deluxe cookies for $17.
They also sell a 9-inch cookie cake for $19. Insomnia Cookies also offers brownies with toppings such as Mint Chocolate, White Chocolate Chip, and Snickers. Of course, a pint of cold milk is available with any order.
While primarily serving college students and the late-night crowd, Insomnia Cookies also has a catering menu for businesses, parties and other events.
Deliveries take about 30-45 minutes, or you can pick them up yourselves. Some online comments complain of long waits and canceled orders.
