GRIMALDI'S The vibe is thoroughly relaxed, jukebox plays
the tunes of Old Blue Eyes, and pictures of Pavarotti,
Sinatra and Brando cover the walls. and, nine times out
of 10, it's either the voice of Old Blue Eyes at Grimaldi's
everybody is treated like a family.
Grimaldi's crust is thin and crisp, the sauce is savory,
full of chunks of fresh tomato and fresh herb. Wide array
of well executed toppings fresh from the kitchen is a
grad finally.

Cuisine: New American
Pioneering the use of regional American ingredients, Larry
Forgion virtually declared the independence of American
cuisine. When he left to open An American Place, first
Charles Palmer, now at Aureole and then at David Burke
now at Park Avenue Café. Now Mr. Lakonen Carries on the
tradition. Located under the Brooklyn bridge this "celebrity
place" offers breath taking view of Manhattan, highly
innovative food and picture perfect surrounding, it’s
a fantastic culinary experience.
