Tourist Saturday

On Saturday afternoon Joe and I walked across the Brooklyn Bridge, to go eat pizza at Grimaldi's, killing two tourist birds with one stone.

While walking across the bridge, we ran into Hobo Gary, who was going to meet us for dinner. It was a moment reminiscent of the Sex and the City movie when Miranda and Steve meet on the Brooklyn Bridge after they decide to stay together, even though Miranda was kind of bitchy to Steve and Steve cheated on her. Our moment was better though, because we haven't cheated on Hobo Gary, and Hobo Gary isn't bitchy.

The wait in line for Grimaldi's was about 1.5 hours. During that time, I decided that it would be a good idea for someone with a lot of money to rent the vacant space next to Grimaldi's and open another pizza place called Grimaldo's. I think it's close enough that at least some tourists would accidentally go to Grimaldo's. Even if they're not confused, after waiting in line at Grimaldi's for an hour, they'll be willing to try Grimaldo's.

I believe Aurelia and I ate at Grimaldi's when we were up in NY last year. I found the pizza to be above average, but not amazing. If Grimaldo's really did exist next door, I'd probably go there the next time I was in the area, thinking I went to the wrong restaurant on my first visit.

I think the gap between good pizza and great pizza is pretty small.

This was a terrible post to read while hungry, though.

(Dagger for the pie reference in my word verification!)
