After 10 months of living in New York City, M. and went to Brooklyn. We were invited to a little dinner party so we decided to go a bit early and check it out.
We went to an area under the bridge, where the famous Grimaldi's pizza place is. There's also an ice cream place there, and some kind of an amazing telescope through which one can see people in London?! I cannot vouch for it because the line to actually look through it was way too long for me, but people were looking through the huge lens and waving to someone on the other side.
The view of Manhattan was remarkable. The Brooklyn bridge itself is a sight to see, as well as the little pier from which we watched Manhattan and boats going under the bridge. It smelled and felt like vacation on a coast somewhere.
So, despite of my Manhattan snobism, I would like to go back there when there are less tourists around, and actually have the great pizza, ice cream and wave to Londoners.
