Are there any other Crumbl Cookies fans out there?! We used to travel to Danbury, Connecticut to get our Crumbl Cookies fix. Then a store opened in Hartsdale. For those of us who live in northern Westchester County, we no longer have to travel 30+ minutes to get these sweet treats!
Our family has anxiously been awaiting the opening of the Yorktown Heights location, since the news was announced back in March! As of this Friday, June 7, the wait is over! Brothers Justin and Scott are excited to be opening the newest Crumbl Cookies franchise with their grand opening celebration.
For those unfamiliar with the history behind Crumbl Cookies, the company was started back in 2017 by two cousins. They opened their first store in Utah. Fast forward to today and there are now over 900 Crumbl Cookies locations, with at least one in every state as well as Puerto Rico and Canada!
What sets Crumbl Cookies apart from other bakeries is their weekly rotating cookie menu. If you see a flavor you think you’d like, you better get to your nearest Crumbl Cookies to try it! The classic Milk Chocolate Chip cookie is the only cookie that is always available. There’s a reason that this cookie is a menu mainstay and I highly recommend giving it a try. This week’s current flavors include Brookie, Coconut Cream Pie, Pink Doughnut, Chocolate Milkshake and Cinnamon Roll. These cookies will only be available this Friday and Saturday.
Check out Crumbl Cookies social media sites to see what the new flavors of the week will be! New flavors are released Sunday evenings and are available on Monday. I’ve had my fair share of Crumbl Cookies and it’s hard to pick a favorite, since they have so many great varieties! However, past flavors that we’ve really enjoyed were the Fried Ice Cream cookie and the Old Fashioned Doughnut cookie. Even owners Justin and Scott have favorites. Justin is partial to the Maple Bacon and Scott really likes the Churro. Because there are so many different cookie varieties, even the popular ones likely won’t make a reappearance for another 3-4 months!
Crumbl Cookies doesn’t just sell cookies anymore either! Recently the company has started dabbling in desserts. Tres Leches Cake and Carrot Cake have recently been seen in stores. I’m looking forward to sampling some of their non-cookie dessert offerings!
Are you ready to get some Crumbl Cookies? Visit the newest location on Crompond Road in Yorktown Heights. You order your cookies at the kiosks. Crumbl Cookies have an open kitchen, so you can watch the staff making the cookies. Even though this is a franchise, the cookies are made onsite daily, so you are always getting a fresh cookie! Once your cookies are ready, they will be packaged in the company’s signature pink box and handed off to you to enjoy! This particular Crumbl Cookies location offers delivery so you don’t even need to leave your home to enjoy the deliciousness.
I just discovered that Crumbl Cookies is featured in the card game Cover Your Cookies. This is a spinoff of the game Cover Your Assets and is available for purchase at the Yorktown Heights bakery. The game lover in me can’t wait to try playing this!
Having two teens who LOVE Crumbl Cookies, I anticipate making many visits to the new Yorktown Heights location! We are very excited to support this new local business and hope you stop by and try some cookies!
What is your favorite Crumbl Cookie flavor?

Or three hundred of them. And the greatest universal subject to laugh about is… dysfunctional families. That is why EVERYONE simply adores “My Mother’s Italian, My Father’s Jewish and I’m in Therapy”. And you don’t have to be Jewish or Italian to love it! This hilarious PG-rated one-man show stars the incredibly talented Steve Solomon, who takes you on a wild and entertaining journey through his life, humorously navigating the challenges and absurdities of growing up in a mixed Jewish-Italian household.

You’ll recognize your own parents, uncles, aunts and 2nd cousins twice removed as Steve shares relatable experiences, family anecdotes, cultural clashes and stories about everything from doctors and air travel to Costco! Almost a million people have seen this three time award-winning comedian known for delivering belly laughs and sheer joy. Call it “SEINFELD meets MANISCALCO.”

September 10 (Yonkers) Traditional and Contemporary Japanese Music at the Hudson River Museum. 2 PM. Free with general admission. Join Masayo Ishigue and Miyabi Koto Shamisen Ensemble for an immersive experience of Japanese traditional and contemporary music in the exhibition galleries, surrounded by Kengo Kito: Unity on the Hudson. The four musicians will play the koto, a plucked half-tube stringed zither, and the shamisen, a 3-string instrument that resembles a banjo. The koto, the national instrument of Japan, first came to Japan from China and Korea in the seventh century. Initially found only in the Imperial Court Ensemble (gagaku), the koto later took on a life of its own both in and out of court society. Today the koto is one of the most popular Japanese instruments, despite its tradition of being limited to art and chamber music. The shamisen originated in China and came to Japan through Okinawa. The exact date of its arrival is unknown, but reference to the shamisen’s presence in mainland Japan is found in early Buddhist scriptures. Masayo Ishigure began playing the koto and jiuta shamisen at the age of five in Gifu, Japan, and has created an extensive multi-faceted career that continues to stretch the limits of the koto while maintaining a strong grasp of the tradition. After initial studies with Tadao and Kazue Sawai, Masayo became a special research student in 1986 at the Sawai Koto Academy of Music. The academy incorporates many influences from classical to jazz and aims to change the perception of the koto from solely as a traditional Japanese instrument to an instrument of universal expressiveness.
