Now in its 9th year, the NYC Pizza Run is an annual run in New York City where participants munch down on two slices of pizza while running a short distance. This year's race is this Sunday in Brooklyn at Fort Greene Park at 11am.

The NYC Pizza Run is a challenge in which participants aim to complete a 5K run while stopping to eat two slices of pizza at checkpoints throughout the course. This one one-of-a-kind New York City experience is open to people of all ages. In a food obsessed metropolis where people are always on the run, putting together an event which pays tribute to some of the city’s defining characteristics seemed like a no-brainer.

Tickets to the race are still available starting at $50, which includes an official NYC Pizza Run t-shirt, a race bib, two slices of pizza to be consumed during the race, a pizza gift bag to be distributed following the race, and a free drink at the NYC Pizza Run afterparty.

Bedford Avenue is New York City's longest street*, stretching 132 blocks over 10.2 miles through the neighborhoods of Greenpoint, Williamsburg, Bedford-Stuyvesant, Crown Heights, Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, Flatbush, Midwood, and Sheepshead Bay. In this 70-minute long video from local YouTuber and cyclist actionkid105, watch as he bike's through its entirety.

I ride my bicycle through the entire length of Bedford Avenue from Emmons Avenue in Sheepshead Bay to Manhattan Avenue in Greenpont.

*New York City's longest street: A few people have contacted me saying that Broadway is actually New York City's longest street with 15 miles between lower Manhattan up to the Bronx, however we don't believe this to be accurate. It may have been true in the past, but it is just not quite that long anymore. Broadway is now interrupted at several areas, such as through Union Square, Herald Square and Times Square where it has once flowed through. There are many segments of Broadway, but I wouldn’t call them continuous, therefore they cannot be the longest. There is no way to traverse the 15 miles on Broadway without going on other side streets along the way.

A Port Authority police officer rescued a kitten trapped on the Bayonne Bridge Wednesday morning. The kitten was stuck between two barriers on the bridge when workers heard it meowing. They couldn’t find the kitty, so they flagged down Officer Nunzio DelPriore. DelPriore located the kitten and managed to free it. The Perth Amboy Animal Shelter is now taking care of the kitten, and says it’ll be up for adoption soon.
