Looks like a good crew.
As usual, I will wait around, and at the end if there is an
opening, I'll take it.

Quick question please. I really enjoyed the BRT in 2015. Will it be the same itinerary and stops? I like to see new places when I do tours so was wondering if there will be anything new. Thanks.

We skipped the Starbucks stop in favor of a much snootier stop.
Info towards the end of the 2016 thread.
From the NY Times this past Sunday...

Just for the record, I do read the comments on this, and past threads.
Speaking of pizza. Take a look at this Brooklyn pizza video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mH7v...ature=youtu.be
I've been to Roberta's and can say they make good pizza.
I've never been to Lucalli's. The wait time is
, and that's with getting there before they open.
As for Di Fara's... wait times can be 30 - 90+ minutes, unless of course you have an in.
Slices are expensive, and they're worth it IMHO.
The only reason why any of the above aren't the BRT pizza stop is we don't have the time to waste waiting.

I've added you all to this list. An interesting cast of characters to be sure. ^
Over the years, BRT has had 3 sponsors that picked up our pizza cost at L&B Spumoni Gardens. They were:
- Randy from Flyertalk
- Ingy (Rick), who at one time wrote The Frugal Travel Guy
- George who writes Travel Blogger Buzz
Cost will set you back about $100 + I mention it to death in my signature.
If you know anyone interested, you know where to find me.
I'm at a trade show this week, so I may be scarce.

For 8 months I waited (and waited) for TBB (who hosted our pizza dinner last year) to write a trip report on his blog. Well, he finally got around to it, and I missed it. 
Hey, it's my busy season.

George somehow manages to get a shameless plug for his blog.
