I have to travel this Bridge sometimes when the Cross Bronx is backed up and this loop around shaves off a few minutes. Same the other direction as well. If the intersection for the Alexander Hamilton Bridge is backed up, it sometimes sends me the other way to bypass it and get right onto the bridge. I'm the summer there are tons of people who stand on the side of the road selling all kinds of food. There was once someone making smoothies with a blender attached to a generator lol! Very unique lol! All in all, it is a unique bridge, the city can and should rebuild it from scratch.

I've loved this bridge ever since I first entered NYC. Maybe it's because I also love Sydney,…read moreAustralia, and I didn't realize until recently that the Sydney Harbor Bridge is based on this bridge. Not only does this bridge have interesting history, but it's rumored that after man kind collapses, this bridge will still be standing. It's an architectural marvel. It still services Amtrak trains. This bridge can be accessed by two primary ways--from Astoria Park and Randall's Island park. Randall's island offers better photo ops and a new and beautiful walking path, but the Astoria side is pretty as well, and has easy access to the tasty ethnic eateries of Astoria. Both spots have good parking, but Randall's Island probably offers more. Look this bridge up, learn about it, and go see it. It'll be a nice day out for a walk, people watching, photo snapping.

When I have guests the view of the bridge from Manhattan is on my neighborhood tour. Some day I may get up close. This historical location of the East River is very cool. I look out and feel the excitement knowing the spirits are probably lurking nearby. I'm weird like that. Read the stories of Hell Gate. You'll see what I mean.

Maybe it's the most scenic of all. There's a vantage point but you have to get around the trees to get a good look. It only is a small bridge. Located at the very tip top of the Borough of Manhattan. There's also the Spuyten Duyvil Creek which the bridge goes over. It's one of the few bridges in New York that you can't walk across. The only way is to take a MetroNorth train. An overlook point in Fort Tryon Park is good for some pictures. The bad thing is there's lots of trees in the way. It's worth going to just because of the area. The park is nice and quiet. Get on a MetroNorth train to go over the actual bridge. It has a good view of the Bronx from the other side. The overlook has some good views.

Only 11 miles of superhighway and for the privilege of driving on it, I was charged $1.90 for my out of state toll transponder. $0.17 per mile seems like a lot considering it was over in 10 minutes. Traffic was moving swiftly - I was going 70ish and getting passed by others consistently. The roadway is smooth and the toll plaza was easy to negotiate. One thing they seem to do well is take money. There are service areas along the way - I stopped at Montvale - so that you don't have to get off the roadway and search around for food or fuel. I'd choose the GSP again to drive through New Jersey.

I have not traveled on the entire parkway leaving me with a lot of info to share, but expect most traffic to occur from the Thruway (the northern terminus) until reaching Hockhockson, mainly due to connections with NYC. I have not experienced any problems, but anyone who has limited knowledge of this area, pull up Google Maps and have it in handy when needed. Be prepared for tollage along the stretch, and the costs. Along the whole parkway, there are service areas to stop to eat and rest. Drive safely and carefully on this parkway.

The Pulaski Bridge, crossing Newtown Creek, connects Brooklyn to Queens on a surface street. The…read moresignificance of the bridge is not that of a beautiful structure, which it isn't. Its draw instead is in the historical significance of the area it crosses. Having spent much time staying in the Long Island City neighborhood of Queens, I became fascinated with the early history of the area. Although the area has become massively gentrified in recent years, the longtime residents of LIC who haven't been priced out are proud of their area's history. Much historical information is available, including early use of the creek by the Dutch settlers. The creek & its tributaries weren't always polluted waterways. The Indigenous Peoples that first lived on the land found it a vibrant source of food and transportation before Dutch explorers claimed the land in the early 1600's. Dutch settlers also looked to it for travel, food & water. The tributary now known as Dutch Kills has significance for me because of my love of history. While spending time in the area now known to many as Dutch Kills, I purchased a Dutch Kills shirt. A bodega across from where I stayed posted pages of history near its cash register. A close pub was named for it. Dutch Kills was well known then & historically cherished. The area has changed a lot in recent years with expansion of the gentrification beyond the LIC waterfront. I hope its history isn't lost to time & "progress". The bridge & its surrounding area have a Revolutionary War history. The bridge itself is named for Polish Revolutionary War Commander Pulaski, since early settlers of the adjoining Greenpoint neighborhood in Brooklyn were Polish. The British tributary is called British Kills. The area was the a headquarters for the British troops. The troops were housed in the Dutch Kills section of LIC I know so well. So when you cross the Pulaski Bridge that you've traveled so routinely in the past, don't think of it as a small ordinary bridge. Think instead of the history of the area it crosses. Step back in time with me.

They are nimble, clever, people-friendly structures which allow bipeds to cross--on foot--the most frenetic, deadly, dangerous 8-lane highways on the planet. Their presence in a street-system is a sign of municipal courtesy and civic-mindedness. When you spot one, you know that someone cares about YOU. And you know, each country does them differently. In Belgium they look like lily fronds; in China they look like starbusts; in Brazil they look like tree limbs. This one--very high profile in Lower Manhattan, right near WTC--seen by 1.5 motorists daily--just doesn't cut it. My gosh, I wouldn't cross the street to cross the street via this contraption. I wouldn't let a dog onto this rickety piece-of-shit. Its garish, Its blocky. Its grotesque. Typical New York! Godamn you! Its unfeeling. Just look at it! What is that, Death Star chic? What is this, 'LastDay' for Logan-5? Its one of the coldest and most unpleasant structures in Manhattan--which in itself, is an island just about as cheerful--these days--as a medieval abattoir. Does this overpass even have a name? Probably not. It doesn't deserve one. Steer CLEAR. Go around! Burrr!
