Whitman’s Brooklyn – Global Posts http://tags.lookingforwhitman.org Just another Looking for Whitman weblog Tue, 06 Nov 2012 19:15:53 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.4.30 Didnt find Whitman but we found PIZZA!!! http://sincerelyfia.lookingforwhitman.org/2009/10/26/didnt-find-whitman-but-we-found-pizza/ Tue, 27 Oct 2009 03:10:18 +0000 http://227.310 IMAG0185

      And look who we saw there? After the tour, Me, Fab Fab, Chase and Danique decided to have lunch together at Grimaldi’s Brooklyn location. This was my first time eating pizza from there and it was absolutely DELICIOUS! As soon as we walked into the restaurant, we saw our tour guide Jesse Merandy and his brother. They already placed there order and they got a pizza with everything on it! When we sat down to order our pizza, I was hungry but a bit skeptical because Chase raved about how good the pizza was. And when people rave over a certain place its never what its assumed to be.  BOY WAS I WRONG! The four of us shared a half extra cheese half peperoni large pie, two slices each and drinks. It was worth the walk. The walk was great the lunch was great my classmates are great and the whole experience is awesome. Grimaldi’s will be my new stop for lunch on days i crave for pizza!

Crossing Brooklyn Ferry …” The Connection “ http://sincerelyfia.lookingforwhitman.org/2009/10/26/crossing-brooklyn-ferry-the-connection/ Tue, 27 Oct 2009 02:23:57 +0000 http://227.311 IMAG0175IMAG0184

During the whole “Crossing Brooklyn Ferry” tour, the stop that actually touched me was the water taxi/ bklyn ferry stop. Our tour guides told us that back then in the 19Th century Brooklyn and the city weren’t really connected. The people that lived in Brooklyn usually stayed in Brooklyn and the people who lived in Manhattan, stayed there as well. The ferry was the only connection between the two because the subway system wasn’t build yet. This made me think and realize that i kind of take advantage of the MTA and my city… I go back and forth to these places without even knowing that there was a time transportation wasn’t given and access was limited. The last time i took the ferry was when i was 7.. When it gets warmer, i will take the ferry to Manhattan and appreciate it!
