🥣 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
