The four of us met at the Manhattan side of the Brooklyn Bridge to walk across it to check out some locations for one of our fall ex-expat events. We stopped at the not-yet-fully-open TimeOut market for a tour of their facilities, then headed to Ignazio’s, a pizzeria on the corner of Water Street almost under the Brooklyn Bridge for lunch.

We shared the large lightly dressed three-apple miso salad ($11) with arugula, mixed green, apples, olives and a large slice of Auricchio provolone cheese. Ordering our thin-crusted large ($28) pizza with fresh mozzarella and plum tomatoes, we each added a topping ending up with meatballs, caramelized onions, mushrooms and artichokes (+$4 for each). Perfection. We were happily satiated.

Sadly, the ferry that we had hoped to take back to Manhattan wasn’t running because of construction on the pier. Subway was the way we went home.

I’d recommend a trip to Ignazio’s when you’re in Dumbo.
