On Saturday September 26th, to celebrate NYC Pizza Week, we'll embark on a cheesy peregrination across parks, bridges, piers, promenades, and sculpture gardens in search of one-of-a-kind newly designed pizza slices. Nearly all the pizzerias on our journey will be creating a Signature Slice โ something they've never made before, built with total creative freedom. We'll rate each slice we try, and compile a lil' zine of our favorites.
More pizza week deets here: https://nycpizzaweek.com/. Fun fact: for each specialty slice sold, NYC Pizza Week will donate to Slice Out Hunger.
Inspiration for this hike came from Andrew Young's ever faithful NYC event curations. He has even more recommended pizza joints here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/LYsFP5pyRzLqzLB17
FYI this is a 12+ hour stroll spanning 15+ miles, and you are free to join us at *any* point along the way ๐
All RSVP'd "yes" and "maybe" attendees will receive a link at 10am to my realtime location for the entire hike, along with my phone number, so you can see exactly where we are on google maps. If you text me when you plan to join, we can keep an eye out for ya ๐ค

๐ฟ About Hyggehiking ๐ฟ
Hygge means "a quality of coziness and comfortable conviviality that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being."
"Hyggehiking" is my own special blend, where we engage in that conviviality while trekking through green spaces throughout our city.
I host Hygge gatherings so we can come together to make new friends, discuss fun projects we're eager to work on, dive into deep, thoughtful discussions, and meet people who can help make NYC feel like a smaller, closer-knit community. We bring our friends, family, coworkers, anyone we think would enjoy spending the day alongside a variety of curious souls.
