Manhattan Pizza Crawl

NYC is known for having some of the best pizza in the world. Do you know what the best spots are to grab a slice? Let’s walk to try some of the best rated pizza in the city! On this walk we will sample 5 top rated pizzerias in Manhattan, starting in Harlem and ending on the Lower East Side. All of them offer pizza by the slice so you can easily grab a sample. Try a slice at each location, pick only the ones you’ve been meaning to try or just walk to check out these highly rated places. This year we will visit some past favorites while also trying some new locations: •Patsy’s •Mama’s Too •My Pie Pizzera Romana •NY Pizza Suprema •Scarr’s Pizza This walk will be approximately 13 miles. The pace will be brisk walking from location to location but we will make frequent stops and spend a few minutes at each location so that everyone who wants to can purchase and enjoy a slice. Be prepared to stand and eat your slice like a New Yorker because there is limited seating! This walk is not for those who are in a rush or who don’t like to make stops. Bring water, comfortable shoes and your appetite! Contact walk leader Jessica with any questions (347) 603-8447.
