The Bridgewalkers series profiles people who traverse the Williamsburg Bridge.
On Saturday night, around 10pm, I came upon Davide, Kameron, and a sweet little Pharaoh Hound named Freccia at the peak of the bridge’s arc, taking a moment to soak in the Manhattan view. The couple – he originally from Trieste, Italy, and she from San Diego – had just wrapped up a night of wine and appetizers in Manhattan. They were on their way, with two bags of Whole Foods groceries, to assemble the rest of their late night meal at Davide’s apartment on Berry St, strolling by the bridge lamps’ hazy light on the warm Spring eve. Leave it to the Europeans to use our neighborhood bridge to its full romantic capacity.
Davide did most of the talking during our brief rendezvous, his answers delivered in a quick, Italian accent, and drenched in playful sarcasm. When I asked him what was on the menu for dinner, he asked me if I would care to hear the entire wine selection. When I asked his last name, he asked if I wanted his social security number.
