Very, very nice report on a trip I'm sorry to have missed, although it certainly would have been unfair for me have taken up a space.

I will confine myself to four comments:

1. This surely must be the first time John Roebling has been described as "some sick guy"

2 & 3. At Nathans, did you eat the fries from a cup, or a bag? How slowly did the ketchup run from the spigot?

4. As far as "adieu or whatever they say in Brooklyn", trust me, you really don't want to know.

RichG, a Manhattan native... however: father from Williamsburg, mother from Bensonhurst!
