Girl Scout Cookie Month in Manayunk
This time of the year, Girl Scouts and their teal vests are a fixture outside grocery stores and in our neighborhoods, selling their tasty cookies. The Manayunk Development Corporation is doing its part with its Girl Scout Cookie Month, which benefits local troops. Throughout February, you can visit participating restaurants in Manayunk to taste exclusive cookie dishes and cocktails. Last year’s creations included Bourbon Blue’s Caramel Delight Decadence cocktail and a beer-flight-and-cookie pairing by SOMO. Our favorite: the Peppermint Painkiller featuring Thin Mints, courtesy of Lucky’s Last Chance.
