This Old School Brooklyn Joint Just Got A Stamp Of Approval From Bella Hadid

by Stephanie Maida · July 15, 2020

    Big news, everyone! Bella Hadid has left the luxurious Pennsylvania farm where she and her family, including preggo sister Gigi, have been spending time gardening, posing for photo shoots, and riding horses in quarantine. So what has she traded life in the idyllic country for? A good ol' slice of Brooklyn, of course.

    On Tuesday evening, the supermodel shared some snaps on her Instagram story showing off a locale that every OG Brooklynite would instantly recognize: L&B Spumoni Gardens.

    The Italian joint in Gravesend has been around since 1939 and is always a seasonal hot spot thanks to its extensive outdoor seating area, where locals and tourists alike hover in wait for an open metal picnic table to enjoy their pizza and Italian ices. Indeed, the spot's namesake Spumoni ice made an appearance in Bella's story, although she herself went for a vanilla-chocolate swirl soft serve. That may be forgivable, but if she really left without eating one of their famous Sicilian square pizzas, well, we might have to revoke her New Yorker card.
