We've all heard of the Boston Tea Party which took place in 1773. It looks like 250 years later there is another protest happening and it involves a food very close to the heart of most New Yorkers.

Who doesn't love pizza? Whether you're a big meat eater, vegetarian or even have a gluten free diet you can most likely find amazing pizza especially in the New York State.
