So back to civilization. My first opportunity to exit Riverside Drive was at 165th Street, and exit I did, and walked back to Broadway so I could take the subway at 168th Street. Across the street was this very fancy building. Hm, says I. Could that be—is that the Audubon Ballroom? But this isn't Harlem. Okay, now I know the Audubon Ballroom is not in Harlem; it is in Washington Heights. Just doesn't seem right.
