"After three decades of swipes, sighs and "please swipe again," the MetroCard is officially heading for retirement-and Alidoro wants you to eat your feelings about it. The beloved Italian sandwich shop has teamed up with chef Wylie Dufresne's Stretch Pizza to give New Yorkers one last delicious swipe: La Tessera ("the card"), a limited-time hero stuffed with crispy chicken cutlet, sweet soppressata, fresh mozzarella, Calabrian chili vodka sauce and garlic pesto cream on toasted semolina."
"And if a chicken cutlet carb-fest doesn't hit the nostalgia button, maybe dessert will. Carvel is selling $2 MetroCard Flying Saucers dusted with blue-and-yellow sprinkles (plus free sprinkles if you mention the MetroCard), while Golden Krust is handing out free Jamaican coco bread with any patty purchase between November 10 and 14. At Gong Cha, you can sip The M Tea A Drink, a limited-edition boba concoction layered with green tea, pearls and butterfly-pea milk foam tinted to match the MetroCard's colors."
A citywide MTA farewell activation runs through December 31 featuring edible tributes from New York restaurants and brands. Alidoro collaborated with Wylie Dufresne's Stretch Pizza on La Tessera, a limited-time sandwich combining crispy chicken cutlet, soppressata, fresh mozzarella, Calabrian chili vodka sauce and garlic pesto cream on toasted semolina. Dufresne's Metro Pizza uses the same ingredients and will be available whole or by the slice starting November 3. Other offerings include Carvel's $2 MetroCard Flying Saucers, Golden Krust's free Jamaican coco bread with qualifying purchases and Gong Cha's MetroCard-colored boba drink. The campaign also includes giant MetroCard photo ops and new merch.
