Although breast cancer fundraising and NYC-style pizza pies have little in common, Scott's Pizza Tours (an emerging tourist service in the city) intends to meld the two in a mouth-watering romp around the Big Apple.
Starting on October 1st, Scott and his similarly vegan brother Jon will lead groups of intrepid herbivores to four pizzerias in the city, each of which offers a multitude of tasty vegetarian options. Although it'll set you back $60, the worthwhile expedition will begin in a typically yellow school bus in Greenwich Village and end with a group of satisfied vegans with bloated stomachs. But don't worry about overeating because $1 will be shaved off each ticket and forwarded to the Karen Mullen Breast Cancer Foundation.
Rarely, if ever, are people given the opportunity to indulge in the world's greatest snack while simultaneously supporting a worthwhile cause, and Scott's Pizza Tours end on Halloween, so hurry to make the most of this great offer.
