Hanging out at TMNT Pizza Van Tour NYC

So this week my son got an afterschool surprise that combined this favorite things. Food and Toys!
Meeting the TMNT Pizza Van in NYC

For weeks now we've followed the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle's Pizza Van during it's 10 City Tour collecting toys and sharing FREE pizza. This month the Turtle Pizza Van came to New York City and of course we had to be there!

I'm so glad we caught the van during it's last stop, because my son really wanted to donate a toy so another child can have a present for the holidays. As soon as we arrived, my son added his toy donation to the toy drive bins.

It was nice to see the bins filling up with toys from people also coming to see visit the Turtle's Pizza Van.

My son was excited to joined the pizza line and also receive his free pizza slice. After receiving the slice, he could customize it with Turtle-inspired toppings like sprinklers, marshmallows, gummy bears and chocolate!

Sadly for him, I said no to the added topping since it was end of the day and no extra sugar allowed. So he enjoyed his pizza plain and simple.


But don't feel very sorry for him. He received a Turtles Pizza Van goodie bag filled with lots of cool items including TMNT themed chapstick (pizza scented) a hat and a copy of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie which became available on Blu-ray, Blu-ray 3D and DVD.

I don't have to tell you what movie we enjoyed that night.


Our Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie package included two reversible masks featuring all four signature colors. My son loved wearing the mask for one of his favorite turtles while we enjoyed a family movie night.

Race Fusion at Hip Hop Nutcracker

We loved seeing the The Hip Hop Nutcracker at United Palace of Cultural Arts today.


My son loved the dance moves. I loved the fusion of different cultures and music.

Where else can you meet iconic Kurtis Blow and hip hop dancers of asian decent. I look forward to seeing the show next year.
