The business-savvy Girl Scouts usually peddle their boxes of cookies in the springtime, but today, cookie fans can get their hands on Thin Mints, Samoas and more a good four months before they usually hit the streets!
On November 7th, the Girl Scouts will host its annual Corporate Cookie Connection event and sell boxes of cookies in various locations around NYC. On this one-day event, which takes place once in the fall and again in the spring, businesses welcome Girl Scouts into their lobbies and cafeterias to support the Girl Scout Cookie Program, which is the largest girl-led business in the country. Thankfully, many of these locations are open to the public as well, but you’ll have to hurry because the event is only open until 3pm today. After that, you’ll have to find a way to survive until March to get your paws on Girl Scout cookies again.

And here’s another sweet tip for dessert lovers: Junior’s is celebrating its 67th birthday today and offering up slices of its famous traditional cheesecake for only $.67! So grab lunch at any of its locations and top off the meal with the yummy treat for cheap. If you’re looking to share your good fortune, a small plain cheesecake will sell for $9.50 and a large one for $19.50, in honor of its birth year, 1950.
NYC is full of wonderful candy stores, ice cream shops and cookie delivery services that are available all year round, but these surprise dessert events definitely make living here all the more sweet.
