Barcelona have allowed their stars to relax in New York with their families as their Stateside preparations for the new season continue in the Big Apple.
The Catalan giants face Manchester United on Wednesday but they appear to have been given the day off as they posed near famous New York landmarks.
Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Co dined out at Shelter Pizza in Brooklyn as they tasted the Italian cuisine during their tour around the American city.
Pizzas are reasonably priced at the diner with a Margherita pizza costing £11.50 and an organic half chicken listed on their menu at £17.66.
Ernesto Valverde's side won their opening game of the International Champions Cup against Juventus thanks to a brace by Brazilian forward Neymar.
The Paris Saint-Germain target scored two quickfire first-half goals before Giorgio Chiellini pulled one back for the Old Lady after the break.
Their attentions now turn to Jose Mourinho's Manchester United who go into the Washington DC clash on the back of beating Barcelona's rivals Real Madrid on penalties.
Neymar is expected to take part in Wednesday's fixture at the FedExField despite his future being up in the air.
Valverde has poured cold water over reports suggesting the 25-year-old is closing in on a move to PSG by insisting he is an invaluable member of Barcelona's first team.
'We want Neymar with us,' said Valverde.
'We know his value on the pitch and what he brings to the locker room.'
