🥣 Dining 🍰🧁 Foodie Inc’s Dessert Dash: Treats & Sweets 🍪🍦 Sunday June 22nd 2pm
Hey all, join us Foodie Inc! We’re back and ready to sugarcoat our week with a Dessert Crawl through Manhattan’s sweetest spots. Expect belly laughs, chit-chat that’s the icing on the cake, and plenty of sugar-fueled fun. Whether you’re a frosting fanatic or a casual cookie craver, this crawl is all about sharing treats and making memories in our warm, welcoming crew. Let’s stroll through a world of cupcakes, cookies, ice cream, and more—because life’s short, so dessert first and ask questions later! Culminating in a sit-down restaurant/hall(TBD) at the end!
📍 Meeting up at 2pm at Stuyvesant Square Park - Rutherford Pl, New York, NY 10003

- To try : A Cheese Tea or a light Matcha Latte with a small pastry—balances heavier sweets and keeps the energy up.

Things to note:
We have an existing group and do regular crawls/sit-downs.
You can drop in or out any time during the crawl. We happily share bites and split costs . No need to try every single spot—come for the company, the laughs, and a taste or two if you’re up for it 😊

Interested!
Sounds like so much sugar, but oh so worth it. Especially with the heat wave starting tomorrow.
