As we are enjoying a nightcap, a party boat comes up Newtown Creek with what appears to be a boatload of Hasidim dancing to a Klezmer band which breaks into a tune “Say hello to the shantyboat. Shantyboat! shantyboat!” Until they were well out of hearing. WTF? Such a strange and wonderful welcome. #shantyboat #klezmer #music
