Abstract
To test recent ideas about lower dimensional gravity bound to a brane, we c onstruct exact solutions describing black holes on two-branes in four dimen sions. We find that 2 + 1 gravity is indeed recovered at large distances al ong the brane, although there are significant deviations at smaller scales. Large black holes appear as flattened "pancakes", with a relatively small extent off the brane. Black hole thermodynamics is discussed from both the standpoint of the brane and the bulk. We comment on the analogous black hol es bound to higher dimensional branes.
