说起纽约的犹太人,说起Lower East Side, 一下子就想到了在WilliamsBurg Bridge阴影下的Orchard Street. 在纽约的时候,特别喜欢看到杂志介绍什么地方好玩,就周末背个小包晃过去.

比如说,这个Orchard Street. 看到不知道哪篇文章的介绍,说是那里是Bargain Heaven,尤其是有个SHop是专卖Movie Props 家具的. 想到若是能和谁谁吹俺的这个垫子是某某星星做过的(哇,Titanic里面Rose靠的那个?? 做梦啊!) 多美啊。。俺顿时来了兴致。某个不冷不热的星期天,俺在Chinatown吃饱喝足,沿着Grant Street踱将过去。 走了没多远,街上的牌子就已经很兴高采烈的宣布:Orchard市场区。看看周围,除了几家巴基斯坦人/犹太人/阿拉伯人 (我总也搞不清)开的电器店,还没有什么吗。店主老兄热情地站在门口:“MY FRIEND, COME IN" 这不会是俺哥们说得卖他Grey Market电器的那位吧... 
继续晃,拐上Orchard。瓦,好热闹,街市呢. 路边那些小楼房,看着都很古旧的.街当中就是Tenement Museum,好像是那时候爱尔兰,德国难民住的地方。。 五六个人一间屋子的平民窟。好像要收钱,探了探头,不去也罢. 那个家具店怎么也没找到,路边还有几家比较异类的酒吧。还有好些卖衣服,卖皮包,皮鞋,皮衣的。哇哇,尤其是几家Corset的专卖店啊,什么年代啦,还有这么多人穿Corset啊? 价钱也不低,但是顾客们都在热烈的讨价还价,看看打扮,好多都是犹太人的样子... 

容纳了一代又一代新移民的老房子,桥上的汽车声,火车声,想到那些讲述十九世纪故事的侦探小说.看着充满希望辛苦努力的人们,想起了Neil Diamond在这里写的歌。。。 

Beautiful Noise
What a beautiful noise
Comin' up from the street
Got a beautiful sound
It's got a beautiful beat

It's a beautiful noise
Goin' on everywhere
Like the clickety-clack
Of a train on a track
It's got a rhythm to spare

It's a beautiful noise
And it's sound that I love
And it's fit me as well
As a hand in a glove
Yes it does, yes it does

What a beautiful noise
Comin' up from the park
It's the song of the kids
And it plays until dark

It's the song of the cars
On their furious flights
But there's even romance
In the way that they dance
To beat of the lights

It's a beautiful noise
And it's a sound that I love
And it makes me feel good
Like a hand in a glove
Yes it does, yes it does
What a beautiful noise

It's a beautiful noise
Made of joy an of strife
Like a symphony played
By a passing parade
It's the music of life

What a beautiful noise
Comin' up to my room
And it's beggin' for me
Just to give it a tune
