Hyggehiking NYC's Novel Slices

On Saturday September 26th, to celebrate NYC Pizza Week, we'll embark on a cheesy peregrination across parks, bridges, piers, and promenades in search of one-of-a-kind newly designed pizza slices. Nearly all the pizzerias on our journey will be creating a Signature Slice — 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.

Fun fact: for each specialty slice sold, NYC Pizza Week will donate to Slice Out Hunger.

Frustrating fact: I searched but could not find any examples of pizza themed NYC street art or interactive public art! If you know of any, pretty please reach out and tell me so I can add them to the itinerary!

This is a 12+ hour hike spanning 15+ miles, and you are free to join us at *any* point in the day 🙌. All RSVP'd "yes" and "maybe" attendees on Partiful will receive a link at 10am to my realtime location for the entire day, along with my phone number, so you can see exactly where we are on Google Maps and call me directly if you need help.

🌿 About Hyggehiking 🌿

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 conversations, 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.
