When is the 2024 Cookie Walk?

Signage went up over the weekend for the 2024 edition of The Cookie Walk, a favorite local holiday tradition featuring more than 60 varieties of homemade cookies and desserts. This year's event will be on Dec. 14-15 at St. Nicholas of Myra Orthodox Church on Avenue A and 10th Street. 

The two-day Walk takes place in the church basement on Dec. 14 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. ... and Dec. 15 from noon to 3 p.m. (or until they run out). 

As the name suggests, you take one of the provided boxes (or two) and walk around cookie-filled tables (no sampling!) to pick your faves. 

More details will follow (we haven't seen the event listed online just yet). 

And not to ruin the holiday mood... but SantaCon also takes place on Dec. 14.

Organizers have decided not to host a Cookie Walk again this year at St. Nicholas of Myra Orthodox Church on Avenue A and 10th Street. 

The Cookie Walk website shows that this year's event, expected to occur early next month, has been canceled.

"Our hearts are broken to make this announcement," per the site...

There wasn't an official reason given for the cancellation of what would have been the 12th Cookie Walk.

We will wait until 2023 when we can all enjoy the excitement and fun of "walking The Walk" together once again.

Be well. Stay safe. Eat Cookies!

The always-festive event, held in early December in the church basement, offers about 75 varieties of homemade cookies and pastries. As the name implies, you take a walk around cookie-filled tables and pick your favorites. 

The last Cookie Walk took place in 2019.

There won't be a Cookie Walk this Christmas

Organizers have decided not to host a Cookie Walk again this year at St. Nicholas of Myra Orthodox Church on Avenue A and 10th Street. 

Although there wasn't an official reason given for the cancellation, concerns over COVID-19 certainly played a role in this decision. According to an Instagram post from Friday:

After careful consideration, we have come to the unfortunate decision that we must cancel this year’s St. Nicholas Cookie Walk. We hope to be back next year, better than ever. Please have a safe and enjoyable holiday season. Merry Christmas.

The always-festive event, held in early December in the church basement, 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. 

Last year's Cookie Walk, which would have the 12th annual, was also canceled due to the pandemic.

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.  

Day 1 of the Cookie Walk

And here's how it works via the Church's website:

Our Cookie Team bakes over 70,000 holiday confections — about 75 varieties. What makes the Cookie Walk unique is that you are in charge. You “take a walk” around tables ladened with cookies and hand-pick your favorites to fill an empty box. There are two sizes of boxes to fill: $20 & $35.

The Cookie Walk also has an Instagram account to get you in the Cookie Walk mood...
