Dear Diary:

I have lived on Roosevelt Island for nine years and the ride back and forth, to and from mainland Manhattan, never disappoints. As the tram pulls out of the station on Second Avenue, the buzz of the city falls away and passengers are treated to a quiet four-minute crossing to a little island that is often misunderstood.

I was on my way home one spring afternoon when I overheard a young woman who was sitting on the bench at the rear of the tram talking on her cellphone.

Ive lived in New York all these years and this is my first time on the Roosevelt Island trolley car, she said with excitement. As the tram hovered over the F.D.R. approaching the East River she yelled into the phone: Wait, we are about to go over the water I may lose cell reception!

Ms Blankstein’s story was published in the NY Times Metropolitan Diary Tales From The City earlier this week. The Tram is getting way over crowded with tourists.
