Women do love that place.
I ended up doing the Aqualung thing....grabbed a newspaper and found a park bench.

If you really like that sort of thing, then you must go to Martha's Vineyard or better yet, Nantucket. Here, benches are conveniently placed outside the shops.
No steelhead but there are stripas around.

Whatever you do, please, never hold/carry the purse in public or risk permanent Man Card revocation.
