First Lady Graces Grimaldi’s

By on March 24, 2010 4:54 pm in DUMBO, Food, News

Today, First Lady Michelle Obama dined at Grimaldi’s, on Old Fulton Street.

Eater NY: Today, the first lady has made her choice in the crowded field of New York Pizza.

Just an hour ago, Grimaldi’s in Brooklyn was surrounded by security as Mrs. Obama dineed [sic] inside. Sorry Di Fara, Motorino, Lombardi’s—maybe next time.

Update: Daughters Sasha and Malia were with her, and before getting pizza, they took a tour of the newly opened portion of Brooklyn Bridge Park. After Grimaldi’s they went to the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory at Fulton Ferry Landing. (See Gothamist.)

    Grimaldi’s is not worth the rudeness that you encounter at the DUMBO location, plus they skimp on the ingredients and the service. Frank Ciollo needs to be put out to pasture, He is getting a bit senile in his dotage.
