When I came to New York, I had big dreams. I wanted to write, I wanted to engage with the fashion scene, I wanted to find a magically affordable apartment, and I wanted to spend the majority of my time eating classic New York City foods. Little did I know that at the heart of it all, what I *really* wanted to do was be like Pizza Rat. Watching him work is a true inspiration, and his dedication to his craft is a fine of example of the ambition and focus that drives New Yorkers to succeed. Pizza Rat is a hero amongst men. Pizza Rat is who we all came to this crazy city to become.

Was anyone else sad when the rat ran away at the end? I was like oh no lil buddy you earned that pizza. #pizzarat — Allison Kilkenny (@allisonkilkenny) September 21, 2015
