Michelle left me yesterday. But not before we went for some Grimaldi’s Pizza in Brooklyn!
We took the train to Dumbo and walked to Brooklyn Heights. The area between the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges is one of my favorite areas in Brooklyn; so many good things. And yeah, that was my second time there in one week, what of it? :)
Grimaldi’s: Pizza for tourists and locals alike. There’s always a line on the weekends but the wait is always worth it. We waited about 40 minutes which wasn’t too bad. It’s kind of fun to stand in line and hear what people are talking about, sometimes you can learn a lot. Oh, you’re from where? What restaurant did you try last week? What documentary were you working on? I’ll have to check that out.
(Sidenote: Who says “on line?” What is that? You wait IN line, not ON line. Where are these people FROM?)
Once inside, we tried to figure out if the guy and girl next to us were on a first date. Awkward questions with awkward responses? That’s always a fun game. Probably even more fun when you’re eating Grimaldi’s pizza.
Hmm. Didn’t I just make a post about pizza the other day? It wasn’t Grimaldi’s though, and hey, it’s New York: there are a thousand pizza places, a hundred of them are excellent and I’ve probably only been to three. So yeah, this is not my last pizza post.
The cheese on their pizzas is just delicious and you can see them make the pizza right in front of you and throw it into the coal oven. We ordered sausage and pepperoni, a great combination. Also the one I get every time. Do I need to get more creative?
Nah.
OMG I want Grimaldi’s RIGHT NOW! Andrew said I should have brought home a pizza.
Brooklyn Heights is the shiz. And by the water where people hang and take pictures is sooo laid back and chill, very cool!
Btw, sausage and pep is THE BEST combo. This is why we are friends :)
I have never heard someone say “On-line” when waiting “In-line”
You hear it all the time here, people on the phone saying, “Oh, I’m on line.” Wha?
Great…yesterday you kill me with donuts and canollis! Today, pizza (even though the toppings combo is making my arteries clog!)
BEST PIZZA EVER!!!! Lynn, I wish I could have brought some home for you!
I’ve heard on-line before. I never understood it either. Is there a painted line I need to be standing on? Or a rope on the ground that is acting as ‘the line’ ????
that pizza looks good i wouldn’t mind an awkward first date at that place
Oooh, post some of the awkward questions and answers! Did you ask them if they were on a first date? Offer to take their picture together? :-)
You can hear “on line” in S. FL all the time… but it’s the NY transplants. I think it’s a regional colloquialism. I never did like the phrase, esp. since “online” has another internet meaning.
That pizza looks so good that I want to slap myself. Jealous.
