100 years old

The Manhattan Bridge turns 100 this weekend, complete with fireworks by the Gruccis.  Festivities will commence at 7:00pm this Sunday (10/4).    Apparently the Manhattan School of Music Brass Quintet will perform at the East River Park Amphitheatre, but I say and skip the music stay in BK.  I work in DUMBO and took this photo on my lunch break.  If you haven’t spent much time in DUMBO I recommend you make an evening of it. 

Get here early, head over to Grimaldi’s for their coal brick oven pizza.  Expect to wait a long time, especially during peak eating hours.  (It’s worth the wait).  Check out the free fireworks, maybe even get some ice cream at the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory.
