A highlight of any visit to New York is to stroll across the famed suspension bridge to Brooklyn.  I did this for the first time as a child over 30 years ago when the bridge was mobbed with people heading to an Irish festival in Brooklyn.  I’ve been back a half-dozen times since and generally it’s been serene.  But on this occasion, the first time for my son, it was as crowded as my first time even though there seemed to be no special event.

Toy cars for sale. Selfie sticks were also a popular item sold and used on the bridge.

The love locks trend has caught on big on Brooklyn Bridge

A gazillion people crossing the bridge at once, give or take a zill.
