    *Correction - The Queensboro Bridge is a TOLL-FREE bridge (not a toll bridge). It’s one of a set of four TOLL-FREE bridges that span the East River.

      My first near-ground-level view of Manhattan as a new immigrant to America was from this Queensborough Bridge. My mother's peeve was how convoluted the approach to it was. We had arrived in JFK International Airport and we were then going to Morningside Heights. The "old-New-York" driver replied that it was done to avoid tolls.

    Awesome video. Love the comments here too. Let me share a personal story of the Williamsburg Bridge. I haven't drove on the Willy B in decades as I left NYC in 1985. Back in the early 80s when I first got my driver's license (actually leaner's permit at 16). The cars back then were fairly large compared to today's cars. I first learned to drive in a 76 Chevy Monte Carlo, pretty big size. When you drive on the Willy B, my car and another of the same or larger (Caddy's, Olds, etc...) When you are side by side with another car (and in the inside car lanes, not the outer lanes of the bridge), you have about maybe 6-8 inches of free space. I kid you not. Two cars driving parallel can basically be talking to one another, it was that close. You don't have room for mistakes. And you best keep your nerves with no sudden moves. At night time, you will see novice drivers taking up the middle lane because they are not used to it. I am sure with today's smaller size cars, there is adequate space. Miss NYC and driving on the Willy B. Thanks again for this video.

    It would have been cool to touch on the other three major Staten Island bridges: the Goethals Bridge, Bayonne Bridge, and Outerbridge Crossing. They connect Staten Island to New Jersey, and the Goethals is arguably more important to Staten Islanders than the Verrazano as it's faster to get from Staten Island to Manhattan through New Jersey than through Brooklyn.

    Great choice of bridges. I was fortunate, thanks to my US relative for having had the opportunity to visit the US and walked over your #1 bridge: The Brooklyn Bridge starting from the Dumbo. I highly agree it's NYC's most historic and iconic bridge and definitely among the world's most important bridges.

    Dear Narrator of the ALL NYC series of video’s: Thank You, ThankYou, Thank You . For your latest video production of the many famous landmark bridges in and around the N.Y.C. Metro area. It seems like it was only yestermonth that I was texting you on the that very subject. Now I’m not a native of the N.Y.C. Area, but your videos on the bridges were very informative as well as educational. KEEP UP THE VERY GOOD WORK! Now the next thing I’d like to see you produce on your series is some of the many neighborhoods I’ve heard about in New York. Like The Bowery, Flatbush and Hells Kitchen area of New York (the city that never sleeps). Once again THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!!

When I first saw the Hell Gate Bridge here, I thought I was looking at the Bayonne Bridge because of the architectural likeness, and too as much as I had been through all five boroughs of New York City, I had never heard of the Hell Gate until now. Amazing find! Yet again, what a very awesome video that brought so much nostalgia to me growing up. THANK YOU FOR THE UPLOAD!

      When I was a kid my friends and I use to climb up the Hells Gate Bridge at night. That bridge has a staircase inside the towers on both sides. But now you can't do that anymore because they have locked the doors with cameras looking at the entrance. But I'll tell you what. It's a long walk up to get to the top. Three different types of stairwells. First is a long concrete stairway that starts at the entrance goes up around three to four floors into the inside of the tower. The there a steel staircase that's around eight flights up. Then you have to cross a cat walk to the spiral staircase thats around a good five to six flights up takes you all the way to the top. There's also access to go on the arch. The inside looks something like mid evil times. Really scary at night.

    While not as spectacular as the other bridges you covered, there is one of historical significance in Brooklyn over the Gowanus Canal. The Carroll Street Bridge, built in 1889, is a "retractable" drawbridge which pulls back diagonally from the channel it crosses. It is one of only four bridges of this type remaining in the United states (another one is in Queens on Borden Ave). While the canal at this location sees little use, the bridge is still an active drawbridge over navigable waters and can be opened within two hours of notification.

    Love it! I also like two pedestrian bridges, the green one over the Harlem River used in The Wiz, and the one near the Hudson tunnel, Manhattan side connecting to parts of tribeca- this led bride can be seen in Nelson Sullivan’s five Ninth Avenue CZcams 1980s vlog in the club kid outlaw Party fashion show video. These places have a great deal of meaning to NYC residents- who often are pedestrians with little car ownership

    Fascinating and informative. To truly know NYC, you have to know its bridges. You made a lot of tough choices, and managed to distill a ton of great information here. Thanks for your good work! BTW, did you know the East River is not really a river? It's actually an estuary (yeah, I know...potayto, potahto).

      Even more accurately, the East River is a tidal strait connecting the harbor (or Upper Bay) with Long Island Sound.
      I think you're correct that it is an estuary, in that it is affected by tidal movement of water, but so is the Hudson from New York to Troy. Estuary is most commonly used to describe what the lower Hudson is: the mouth of a freshwater river that flows into a sea or ocean, leading to a zone of brackish water (not freshwater, but not as salty as seawater) where the two blend together. If not for the flow of freshwater into the NYC area waters, I think the East River would be entirely seawater. But as it is brackish and flows with the tides, it can be called an estuary.

    • @flightofthebumblebee9529
      @flightofthebumblebee9529 Před 2 lety

      Yes indeed. The Hudson River is fresh water that runs south into the NY Harbor and the East "River" is not a river at all because it's just a waterway that leads from the harbor into the Long Island Sound. There have indeed been porpoises seen in the East River as well as crabs and whatnot.

Like its sister gateway, the Brooklyn archway had 2 massive statutes flanked on both sides. The statues are preserved for all to see. Just head to the Brooklyn Museum of Art off of Eastern Parkway.

    Before the Brooklyn Bridge was: The John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge (formerly the Cincinnati-Covington Bridge) is a suspension bridge that spans the Ohio River between Cincinnati, Ohio, and Covington, Kentucky. When opened on December 1, 1866, it was the longest suspension bridge in the world at 1,057 feet (322 m) main span,[3] which was later overtaken by John A. Roebling's most famous design of the 1883 Brooklyn Bridge at 1,595.5 feet (486.3 m).
