For those heading to New York City, I would recommend a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, one of the most photographed and iconic structures in New York City. Last November when I visited New York City, I did this and had a good pizza lunch in Dumbo, a part of Brooklyn on the other side of Manhattan with nice views of the towering buildings of Lower Manhattan. I was staying in the financial district, so the easiest way to get there was via the ferry to Dumbo (down under the Manhattan bridge underpass).
The ferry was a quick trip with nice views.
Dumbo has a couple of famous pizza restaurants. When I visited New York City many years ago, I went to to Juliana's. Grimaldi's is the more popular pizza restaurant, so I went there this time. The restaurants are a few doors down from each other.
I had a glass of wine and a mocktail.
The pizza was delicious. I had onion and jalapeno toppings.
The Thai restaurant (Elephant District) here looked good as well.
There are a couple of ice cream cafes here too, but one of them was shut. I ended up purchasing an ice cream sundae in the chain one, Van Leeuwen. I enjoyed an ice cream on a chilly but sunny November day with views of the Brooklyn Bridge.
Afterwards, I headed to the Brooklyn Bridge to walk across it and admire the different views over the city.
I got some nice photographs of the bridge the evening before with a nice sunset from the financial district.
I recommend a walk across the bridge and visit to one of the pizza restaurants in Dumbo.
