Even though DB lived in NYC for a few years, he never made it across the BK Bridge or to Grimaldi's. So, when he came to visit a few weeks ago, we definitely to put that on our to do list. I left work early on a Friday, we hopped on the subway, and headed to Brooklyn.
A few things you should know about Grimaldi's:
- It is a total tourist spot, complete with dozens of foreign languages, double-decker buses, and guide books
- There will be a line down the block no matter what day of the week you go or what time it is
- You'll be squeezed into a table on top of the people next to you
- There is a waiter, but there is no service - rush you in, rush you out
- The pizza is DAMN good, and worth all of the above
The pizzas are made in a coal brick-oven that gives them a great smokey flavor and a crisp crust. The tomato sauce is a little sweet and a little tangy, the slices of fresh mozzarella are so much better than shredded, and the basil adds such a great flavor.
We walked over to the water before heading to the bridge path. Always such a great view...and made for a fantastic afternoon and start to his visit!
