That was great Ed. My 1st wife was from that section of Brooklyn so I am very familiar with all the areas shown in the video. Lenny's Pizza was among the best .

Nope - $13. leaving Brooklyn - no charge the other way .

I always pull up to the booth and tell them I just want to cross it, not buy it.

Re: memories of Bklyn and NYC

Checked my  bill , yepper one way. Get Ez pass   you won't have to wait an extra 10 minutes to  talk smack. into deaf ears.  Won't need cash on hand , cause more pollutuon ,waiting , etc. Nice modern day invention everyone who dosen't want to hassle the booth attendant should have one, maybe get rid of those toll collectors , save money. Thanks notknickerbocker for reminding me of the past and for reminding me of how I used to express my opinon to workers who could care less,
