Gerritsen Beach after Sandy
On the afternoon of Thursday, Nov. 1 in Gerritsen Beach, a resident named Tim fired up a grill on the sidewalk. Like a lot of things lying around on the streets after Sandy hit on Monday evening—children’s train sets, exercise bikes, tables and chairs, a piano—the mud-caked gridiron was no longer exactly functional, but still recognizably itself. There was no gas or electricity to fuel the stove, but it provided a serviceable metal canister to make a fire to warm the damp, brisk air.
