If you've ever gone out to eat with someone who blogs about food or uses a photo-sharing website like Flickr—or, worse, both—then you're all too familiar with this refrain: "Wait, wait, lemme getta shot first!" One camera-equipped person is bad enough, but what happens when a group of Flickr-ers has a weekend meetup at Grimaldi's? A picture (right) is worth a thousand words. See the digital contact sheets from their day of slice stalking: Baobee, cknlomein, eggrollboy, Plaid Ninja, Roboppy Photograph from Baobee on Flickr... More

By the way, I got on a jury last week. My fears of sequesterization ("If the jury's sequestered, this site will fester") did not come to pass. That's not how the U.S. District Court of the Eastern District of New York rolls. At lunch today I ate at Fascati Pizza. It's good, but it left me hankerin' for some of that hot coal-oven action just blocks away at Grimaldi's. Objection! Relevance? Sustained. Allow me to redirect. I will prove to you, ladies and gentlemen, beyond a reasonable doubt, two things:... More

An email from a reader ... To the editors: I really enjoy your site. Thought I'd give back a bit and send in a report from the field. The other day I went to Totonno's and Grimaldi's.

Oh, it's such a perfect day ... What do you get when you mix a beautiful Saturday afternoon, a visiting food-loving Aussie (by way of London), and a walk over the Brooklyn Bridge? With the proper catalyst (in this case, a Slice editor), your result is lunch at Grimaldi's Pizzeria. Located at 19 Old Fulton Street, almost directly under the historic bridge, Grimaldi's is the place to stop for a post-journey meal (provided you walked from Manhattan to Brooklyn). And so it was with our weekend excursion to this coal-oven shop in the, uh, Brooklyn Heights? DUMBO? Vinegar Hill? section... More

One of last night's reruns of Law & Order on TNT contained a Grimaldi's reference. In the episode "Tabula Rasa," detectives Curtis (Benjamin Bratt) and Briscoe (Jerry Orbach) are investigating a suspect who claims he's never been to New York before. After obtaining his credit-card receipts, they find he has visited Grimaldi's—alone, no less. Lieutenant Van Buren: [reading list of card charges] United Airlines, TKTS, Museum of Modern Art Bookstore, Barneys, Grimaldi's Italian Restaurant.Briscoe: Grimaldi's in Brooklyn?Van Buren: You know another one? Charge was for twelve bucks and some change.Briscoe: [with the wisecrack] You can't feed a family of... More
