Local before arrival
An activity that no one should miss is a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, especially when combined with an exploratory tour through DUMBO, a formerly industrial neighborhood on the East River in Brooklyn. Right next to Brooklyn Bridge Park, which opened in 2010, is one of the legendary institutions that existed long before DUMBO was fashionable: Grimaldi’s Pizzeria, where they still make the city’s best wood-fired oven pizza.
