Most folks will go to Grimaldi’s next door, but this place was created by the same people and I favor their pizza over Grimaldi’s. Grab a pie here and then walk over to the view of the Brooklyn Bridge nearby!

Pay to go to the top. The elevator ride up alone is a great experience. Everything is high-tech. Once you get to the top, you can rent a tablet and you can hover it over the cityscape and the tablet will tell you the names of certain landmark buildings.

Cómo moverse
Using the subway
I recommend downloading the app "Citymapper". It will tell you what subway car is the best to be in for your ride, and will also tell you which street you should exit the station on.
It also tells you when the next train is coming.
