After our stroll across the Brooklyn Bridge, we get in line at Grimaldi's a pizza place in Brooklyn's Dumbo neighborhood at the foot of the bridge.A line of about 100 people are standing outside the door. Should we wait? The smell of sweet tomato sauce wafts out the door...Yes! At this point it's 2 p.m.
After about 15 minutes and watching only one party of two go in the door, my husband suggests that we leave to find another place. But I was determined to stick it out.
An hour passes by and the kids are getting hungry. We step inside a gift shop next to the pizzeria where the owner tells us that Michelle Obama had dined at Grimaldi's only two days before.
I run out of the store to tell my husband. He's impressed and begins to wait in line with a smile on his wife. A Spanish couple behind us reveals to us that they are in line because they had hear about Mrs. Obama's visit earlier that week.
I entertain the kids by making videos of them singing with my iPhone.
It's freezing outside. 29 degrees. Because we packed so light for our trip we're unprepared for the cold. The kids and I go back into the gift shop to get warm.
Another hour passes, and at 4 p.m. we finally walk in the door.
People are stuffed into this tiny restaurant like sardines and gathered around tables covered in red-and-white check tablecloths. They're drinking carafes of wine and eating blistery thin-crust pizzas, the sort that are spread with fresh tomato sauce and chunks of fresh mozzarella.
Here's a photograph of the pizza we devoured. And yes, it was worth the wait.
Why pizza on a big city budget trip? Because a family of four can sit down at a restaurant and enjoy a delicious meal for $30 to $40.
