Bernstein’s dissenting opinion prohibits carrying in Manhattan on the Sabbath due to the bridges and tunnels running to the various Boroughs and New Jersey, the thorough-fares such as Delancey Street which cut across the city to the bridge, and Central Park, where tens of thousands of people pass through daily.
