NYC - I'm Taking a Bite of the Big Apple

[Prudence]

We ate at Grimaldi's in Brooklyn. Very tasty. Cash only, and the ATM machine in the vestibule doesn't work. Do not offend them by ordering a diet soda, or they will harass you in a semi-good natured fashion. No set combos - you order ingredients individually. House red and white wine available by the carafe.

I know it's hokey touristy, but I wish I'd been able to spend more time on Ellis Island. The Ferry Building opens to the public next week, I believe. It's far more beautiful, and peaceful, than I had expected. Not an empty peace - there's a presence there - but not the sense of conflict I expected.

And JFK is possibly one of the worst airports ever created.
