The Brooklyn Bridge

We took a harbor tour yesterday with friends from the Netherlands. The tour was fascinating–a look at the working harbor–but we ended up afterwards in a tourist restaurant at the South Street Seaport, a greasy meal accompanied by a moaning crooner on guitar. When he did Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond, stopping to let the crowd fill in the duh duh duhs, well, good times never seemed so bad, and I was rapidly reaching the end of my tether.
