Brooklyn at night is a maze and its most vexing entrance is the foot of the Williamsburg Bridge.
North 5th to Broadway East, which takes you through Williamsburg beneath the J & M trains,
then into Bushwick, then into Bed-stuy. Or I-278, also known as the Brooklyn Queens Expressway –––
if you miss an exit you’ll end up in Staten Island or Queens in an instant. Then there’s west on Broadway,
which shoots you back toward Manhattan and the East River ––– a half mile and you’re facing Kent Avenue.
People on bikes will be everywhere and they’ll be going both ways. If you look once that won’t be enough.
If you look three times that will be too many. Use caution. You’re in a maze and that maze is a dizzy machine
that always works, You get zero timeouts and you can’t tap out at all ––– Brooklyn on a late summer night.
