LITTLE RED DEATH PAD

Anyone who’s seen In The Cut and lives up here in North Manhattan must surely get a chortle out of the lame scene with the serial killer and Meg Ryan held captive at his lighthouse lair where he keeps the body parts. Truth is this beloved landmark (and children’s book subject) sits right below the George Washington Bridge with a security guard for a companion who’s concerned more with Homeland Security and terrorist evildoers than your regular run-of-the-mill misogynistic psycho mutilators. A couple times a year they open it up to the public but this time of year it’s just damn lovely there near the water’s edge, and in particularly on an unseasonably warm day like this one was.
