Saturday, October 5th

This past Saturday, we went on Scott’s Pizza tour and explored the area of Greenwich Village. We used hopstop.com to determine the travel route to meet the tour downtown on Spring street. We reviewed how to purchase a new metro-card and discussed the pattern of odd/even street numbers in order to find our destination. We started off the tour at a local Italian cheese shop and got to sample a delicious creamy taste While on the tour, we learned about the history of pizza in Little Italy and the development of pizza from a Neapolitan street food to a celebrated American staple. We then headed to Lombardi’s pizza, and got to check out the original pizza oven. Next, we headed over to Fiore’s on Bleeker street for a thin crust slice. We compared and contrasted our notes during and after each stop, and were surprised with the elements of each. It was a great time and a delicious tour! Alex was a wonderful photographer this week and captured many great moments. Teenz in The City have started a fabulous partnership with Scott and we look forward to planning another pizza tour in the future!
