The most delicious office space in the city.

I accidentally ALL the Thin Mints in Manhattan, and some Samoans.

Because I don’t work in an office with the kind of people who have Girl Scouts for daughters, I’ve been seriously deprived of Thin Mints the past few years. So today I went straight to the source: The Girl Scouts Greater New York headquarters, on West 23rd Street, i.e. Cookie Central . They only take cash or check (with ID) so be prepared. Also, this location is dangerously close to the Madison Park Shake Shack, and visiting both might lower your life expectancy.

(Until early May, the Girl Scouts will be selling cookies at their offices in each of the five boroughs. Check the schedule here)
