New Yorkers can swap an empty plastic bottle for a free pizza slice this month
Scream “free pizza” in New York and expect a whole lot of people to rush your way.
That’s probably what’s going to happen on Tuesday, October 24, at Bleecker Street Pizza at 69 7th Avenue South by Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village, one of the best pizza places in NYC, when folks who bring in an empty plastic beverage bottle to be recycled will get a free slice in return. Options include cheese, Nona or pepperoni. Yum all around.
The promotion is carried forward alongside Coca-Cola. In fact, according to an official press release, participants will also receive an “ice-cold, 20 oz., 100% recycled plastic bottle of Coca-Cola” alongside their food. You’ll even get to choose between a Coke, a Diet Coke, Coke Zero or, perhaps, opt for some Dasani water instead.
Bottles collected during the event, which is scheduled to run from 11am to 7pm, will be recycled and then reprocessed into new Coke product bottles at a local bottling facility. To note: you don’t need to bring in a Coca-Cola-branded item—any sort of plastic bottle will do!
The series, dubbed “Toss In, Take Out,” kicks off at our local pizza shop but will then expand to Atlanta and Chicago.
People all across the country love free pizza, after all.
Experience The New Hip-Hop Museum For A Limited Time Before Its Official Opening
If you’ve been anticipating the opening of The Bronx’s Hip Hop Museum, you are in for a treat! Before the museum’s grand opening in 2 years, a CÎROC sponsored pop-up of the attraction is hitting the road!
It’s more than just a tour; it’s a musical journey through time.
It all starts in the heart of Hip Hop, New York City, on October 14th. This epic journey will take you to Atlanta, Houston, Charlotte, Los Angeles, and finally, Miami. It’s a whirlwind of excitement, and you won’t want to miss it.
But what’s the buzz all about? We’re still celebrating a remarkable milestone – Hip Hop’s 50th anniversary!
Mass Appeal and CÎROC Ultra-Premium Vodka, the official vodka of Hip Hop 50, have joined forces with the Hip Hop Museum to tell the incredible story of the pioneers who created a musical genre that sent shockwaves around the globe.
And here’s the best part: Before the museum’s grand opening in 2025, this touring exhibit will showcase early hip-hop artifacts from 1973 to 1990. It’s like a time machine that takes you on a journey through the birth of hip-hop, from block parties to sold-out stadiums. Each tour stop highlights the cultural and social achievements of a community that persevered and fought for their voice, pushing the boundaries of what Hip Hop was and could become.
Rocky Buccano, the Universal Hip Hop Museum Executive Director, couldn’t be more excited about this. “The Hip Hop Museum is thrilled to be in partnership with Mass Appeal and to have the support from CÎROC Ultra-Premium Vodka as we celebrate Hip Hop 50,” he says. “Fifty years of growth and the global impact of Hip Hop culture in all its expressions.”
The exhibit, curated by Hip Hop historians Pete Nice and Paradise Gray, delves into the genesis of Hip Hop, from its humble beginnings to the first worldwide tours. It’s a historical journey showcasing how this genre disrupted fashion, art, language, and politics, challenging generational thinking.
Hip-hop has evolved into one of the most influential cultures in the last fifty years. It’s given voice to the silenced and purpose to the oppressed, fostering creativity in often overlooked communities. It’s time to join this incredible journey back to where it all began.

- Atlanta: 10/21
