Concerns over COVID-19 prompt cancellation of the annual Cookie Walk

Likely not a surprise, but disappointing nonetheless: Organizers have cancelled what would have been the 12th Annual Cookie Walk at St. Nicholas of Myra Orthodox Church on Avenue A and 10th Street.

According to an Instagram post from Saturday:
It is with heavy hearts that we have officially cancelled this year’s St. Nicholas Cookie Walk. The safety of our guests, bakers and workers is our top priority. We hope to see you all in December 2021.
The always-festive event, held in early December, offers about 75 varieties of homemade cookies and pastries each year. As the name implies, you take a walk around cookie-filled tables and pick your favorites to eat on the way home instead of gifting.

    Another 2020 indignity but my Covid waistline shouldn’t be complaining. Love the event, the cookies and cause.

    This is really sad news, but it was pretty clear they wouldn't be able to have the cookie walk even if it were outside. it's not the right event for the time, I'm glad the organizers understood this. Next Year!

    Waaaaaaaaa!! This was my favorite day of the year. I started looking forward to the next year’s Cookie Walk Day about an hour after I came home from the current Cookie Walk Day. Such a fitting end to the steaming pile that is 2020.
