Brooklyn

When we got to the Brooklyn side we ate lunch at Grimaldi's Pizza. It has the reputation for being one of the best pizza places in New York. It had a thin, almost crackery crust. Then slices of Mozzarella randomly thrown on, with crushed-tomato sauce drizzled here and there. Then thick slices of pepperoni. It was baked in a wood-burning brick oven. Yummmmm.

We tried to take the water taxi back to Manhattan, but ended up as extras in a CSI-New York episode. Turns out the whole dock was turned into a tv set for the day and the water taxi was just being used for filming. There the 7 of us were, eating ice cream on the dock, just waiting for the taxi. We probably threw the whole scene and they will have to re-do it. It was kind of cool to watch them film a scene! Just glad we weren't the victims of the crime.

Thank goodness we were finally able to hail a taxi to drive us back. Make that 2 taxis!
