pampering and brooklyn bridge.

after being on our feet more than we ever have in our entire life (and for the sake of our sanity), we decided it was time to get pedicures.  we found this cute place on the lower east side and pampered our poor little tootsies.  it felt wonderful and my feet have re cooperated, slightly :)  of course the day wouldn't be complete without a treat, so we got a red velvet cupcake from this little bakery called crumbs.  it was delish!  while we were down on the lower end of town, we decided to go to the brooklyn bridge.  that. was. cool. annnnd we even liked brooklyn, surprisingly! at least what part of brooklyn we ventured to...  we went to a place called graziellas, best thing i ever ate... pizza.  it's an authentic italian restaurant known for their wood burning pizza but ALL of the food was AMAZING!  i was going to get what was actually featured on the show but i decided to get the pizza vito (ground sausage, mushroom and caramelized onions) because i was craving some MEAT!  it was SO good.  the pizza sauce tasted so fresh and yummy and i also got a side of veggies (zucchini, squash, carrots & snow peas.)  the pizza was so good, i decided to also get some dessert :) haha! i've been really wanting a cannoli so holy cannoli, i got one!  it was good (sweet ricotta cream stuffed into a wafer like shell) BUT i was wanting to steal christi's dessert.. affogato (vanilla ice cream with a shot of hot espresso poured over it.) oh. my. gosh. i don't even love coffee but that combo was so freakin good!  imma be getting me one of those next time.  oh ya, the best part about this restaurant was that it had a roof top patio that we sat on and the weather had been absolutely perfect ALL DAY!
