Grimaldi’s Pizza, NY

Grimaldi’s Pizza. A New York institution. Right off the Brooklyn Bridge in “Dumbo” (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass).

After a good solid hour of waiting in an epic line, this classic oven-baked tomato, mozzarella, and basil pizza with pepperoni was eaten in about 10 minutes, maybe less.  It was pretty dang great, though.

I recommend taking the pizza to-go and eating it in the nearby park.

Because sometimes…you’ve got to be a tourist in your own city…

Some info:

-wear sunscreen on a hot day

-it takes about 20-30 min to walk across the bridge

-be prepared to wait in a LONG line for Grimaldi’s pizza, OR just eat ice cream for your meal from the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory

-to get back to Manhattan, you could walk back over the bridge, catch a ferry ride, or subway-it
