As do my parents--they remember riding the parachute ride you have pictured at Coney ISland when they were kids...my great grandfather worked on the Brooklyn Bridge...I had a relative (long ago) who was working on the Verrazano bridge, fell off and perished in the waters below...my mother lived for a time in Bay Ridge and when it was time for my wedding gown, of course we went to Kleinfelds! So enjoy your informative posts, it makes our family chat and chat! My college English professor was Barbra Streisand's HS guidance counselor and when she said she wanted to go to Broadway to sing (she had never been in a HS show at all) he did everything he could to discourage her! He even said, "What did I know??"<BR/><BR/>:0)<BR/>TaraTarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16060366331794781160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-34069544128535202302008-04-26T22:32:00.000-04:002008-04-26T22:32:00.000-04:00You had such a clear, gorgeous day for your tour! ...You had such a clear, gorgeous day for your tour!

To answer some questions:...Thanks for the comments! To answer some questions:<BR/><BR/>We love both types of pizza! The square L&B Spumoni Gardens pizza is amazing, even though it doesn't look so great in the picture. There is something addictive about their sauce and the fact that they put the cheese under the sauce which makes it melt down into the bread. Grimaldi's round is amazing though, too, as it uses fresh mozzarella cheese and fresh basil and the coal fire makes the crust so crisp. Hard to decide -- I guess we'll have to go back and eat some more :-)<BR/><BR/>Some famous Brooklynites? <BR/>singers Barry Manilow.Barbra Streisand, actresses Mary Tyler Moore,Barbara Stanwyck,Lauren Bacall,author Henry Miller, poet Marrianne Moore,astronomer Carl Sagan,comedians Adam Sandler,Joan Rivers,Jerry Seinfeld,Danny Kaye,children's author Maurice Sendak,opera singers Beverly Sills and Richard Tucker,basketball star Michael Jordan,composer George Gershwin ..,so many more!<BR/><BR/>In Brooklyn, when asked the question "How ya doin?" the proper answer is "Fuhgeddaboudit!" <BR/>We once went to a retirement party and that was the total extent of the conversation for the first half hour! So funny ... and yes, I catch myself saying it too! :-)Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-13491419589650614092008-04-25T11:39:00.000-04:002008-04-25T11:39:00.000-04:00Hi Pat,It sounds like you're having one adventure ...Hi Pat,<BR/>It sounds like you're having one adventure after the other.

My husband is a brit and the first time his family came to visit we did the circle line tour around the whole island. i had the BEST time and never learned more about the 5 boroughs. I still bust out facts that I learned that day with friends - it's very impressive.<BR/><BR/>Good idea w/ the pizza tour. This is something I'll prob. do on my own as I've been slowly making my way for years to all the known and unknown establishments. But the one thing I do love about pizza is that it changes from place to place but the basics are the most imp. thing to get right : sauce, crust and cheese. mmmmmm pizza.<BR/><BR/>amy @ we are never fullAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-80956605620167481292008-04-25T09:36:00.000-04:002008-04-25T09:36:00.000-04:00YUM!!!

I love pizza (especially with a thick crust), although J doesn't as he dislikes cheese, and is not a great lover of tomato puree either, so I hardly ever get to eat it! I'd love to know some of those famous people born in Brooklyn, if you can remember what the guide said? xLouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03800196831833931842noreply@blogger.com
