Michelle Obama Still in NYC, Spending Day in Brooklyn

We've gotten numerous reports that First Lady Michelle Obama is still in town (she took the kids to The Addams Family musical on Broadway Monday night), and she's been spotted today in Brooklyn. First we heard she was checking out the newly opened Brooklyn Bridge Park (which was closed off to the public during her visit), then she took the kids for lunch at Grimaldi's, which probably didn't help the already infamous line outside the pizzeria.

After that it was down the street to the Brooklyn Ice Cream factory, where owner Mark Thompson tells us she came in with her mother, Sasha, Malia, and several other children. Thompson says they loved it (we're not surprised; it's great stuff), and he revealed that FLOTUS ordered chocolate, while the kids enjoyed vanilla, chocolate chunk, and strawberry. We asked him if he snapped a photo to put up on the wall, and he told us, "No, that's probably why they enjoyed it." Next stop Brooklyn Superhero Supply Co.?

    Sorry, just wanted to say that.

    She's on a crusade against childhood obesity, and she comes to Brooklyn for pizza and ice cream?

    Do as I say, not as I do.

    She should have gone to that vegan Chinese place on Montague. I'm going to write to my Congressman.

    The Times piece includes a disturbing video of Grimaldi's patrons applauding the first lady for eating pizza. Why are people so annoying?

    Dood. It is totally our bizzy what the FLOTUS is up to. She sticks her nose in our bizzy all the time. And don't even get me started on her husband the POTUS.
