Goodnight Fatty
Salem
Goodnight Fatty is like a cookie speakeasy—no password needed, just a craving for warm, fresh-from-the-oven cookies, a thirst for cold milk, and a penchant for board games. Located in an alleyway in Salem, Goodnight Fatty features limited late-night hours, a lack of conspicuous signage, and a hush-hush, always-changing cookie lineup, which makes visiting feel like a clandestine cookie hunt. Don’t expect us to spill all their secrets, though. Follow the cookie smell down the pink-lit hallway and taste these gems for yourself.
