Well Saturday May 21st 2011 was known to most people as "Rapture Day"... some Christian radio host paid for a huge advertising campaign to warn people that May 21st was going to be the end of the world. Around NYC, there were huge billboards declaring May 21st as the end of the world. So Charlie and I got to thinking... and realized the world can't end yet...because we hadn't visited Brooklyn yet! So we decided to spend Rapture Day visiting Grimaldi's Pizzeria in Brooklyn, one of the first pizzerias in NYC dating back to 1905 and now is so famous that there is a line wrapped around the building every day. While we waited in line...we met some friendly people from Long Island who went to school at University of Dayton, Ohio. The restaurant is very small and they pack them in tight....but the pizza definitely delivers. We ordered a pepperoni and sausage pie and they all have fresh mozzarella....very yummy. After eating nearly the whole pie just the two of us, we walked off some our pizza along the Brooklyn Bridge park. Overall, it was a beautiful day and a nice afternoon visiting Brooklyn.
And to nobody's surprise (except probably all of the Christain radio host's supporters who funded his campaign ) Rapture day came and went. Thank goodness because there are so many more things that Charlie and I want to see out here on the East Coast.
