Former "Saturday Night Live" star Colin Quinn will then bring Fallon to Staten Island for what many people claim is NYC's best pizza ever at Joe & Pat's Pizzeria and Restaurant. Fallon and Tariq Trotter will visit Queens to meet iconic street artist Lady Pink, who will introduce them to the Welling Court Mural Project, which features some of the most amazing collections of street art in the world.

In Brooklyn, Fallon, Questlove, Tariq Trotter and The Roots will meet up with magician Justin Willman at world famous Coney Island for some mind-blowing street magic tricks on the iconic boardwalk and Luna Park.
