METROPOLITAN DIARY

Not Him
Dear Diary:

It was winter 2005, and my brother and I were driving across town through the Upper West Side with my father.

As we turned the corner at 81st Street and Amsterdam, my father thought he spotted Michael Richards, Kramer on “Seinfeld,” walking down the street. My brother and I were kids at the time, but we had grown up watching the show.

Excitedly, my father slowed down, and my brother rolled down the window.

“Hey, are you Kramer?” he yelled.

Moments later, he pulled back into the car with a dejected look on his face.

“Well,” we said, “what did he say?”

“No,” my brother replied, “he said he’s Frasier.”
