Doughty St, Brooklyn Heights

A long standing rivalry exists between Lombardi’s pizza house (Manhattan) and Grimaldi’s in Brooklyn. Personally I think Lombardi’s edges in front because there is usually a shorter line! Both are great and live up to their reputation but this area is also famous for one of the best views of Manhattan. Walk down 50 yards from Grimaldi’s and you get the sort of panoramic views that cameramen always seem to find but you can’t.. Looking back across the Hudson to Manhattan you get a great look at downtown, the Brooklyn bridge and the established grand old lady of the town, the Empire State Building.. It’s also a great spot to take your first date.. Sure to impress.
