Try to go there a little earlier (ie 11am)...place gets crazy packed for lunch. Although even if there's a lineup, service is quick. I always go for a Margherita myself, because great pizza doesn't need to be loaded up with filler.

Brooklyn is great...but it's more of a "3rd visit" place once you've done Manhattan. It's more of a grittier, and in many ways more authentic, version of NYC, which may really appeal to you, or may scare you off. If you are of the hipster persuasion (or just want to see where it all comes form...because it all originates here!), check out Williamsburg/Greenpoint. If you want to see some of the most beautiful brownstones anywhere, visit Cobble Hill or Brooklyn Heights...it's straight out of the Cosby Show.
PS1 and the Brooklyn Museum are pretty great. The Brooklyn Museum is right besides Prospect Park. It was designed by the same guy (Frederick Olmstead) who did Central Park, so it's very nice. Except instead of manicured lawns, you'll see locals playing soccer and bbq-ing. If you're lucky, there's tons of concerts held here every summer as well. Personally, it's one of my favorite places in all of NY....but again, it's not as polished as Manhattan.
