You meet at Columbus Circle with a tote in hand, the city's pulse underfoot and the smell of baking drifting from nearby ovens. The crawl unfolds as a compact walk through Manhattan neighborhoods—streets that hum with delivery bikes, toasted crusts, and conversations about which slice wins. Each stop is a focused taste: a crisp thin New York fold, a chewy Neapolitan rim, a caramelized corner bite.
