13 MOST AMAZING BRIDGES IN NEW YORK CITY

[allnyc]

My apologies for the error on #7 (Queensboro Bridge). I didn't realize it until after uploading.
*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.

I'm from Kansas and I'm obsessed with the bridges of NYC. I've been on most of these but going into midtown Manhattan on the Queensboro gave me goosebumps. The heart of the city right before your eyes. Such a sense of awe and endless possibilities. Your city is amazing.

[VomBethel]

As a native New Yorker, you nailed it! Thank you for sharing.

[aargh]

The Brooklyn Bridge is not a pure suspension bridge; it is a combination cable-stayed and suspension bridge.

[craso]

You really hit the hammer on the old nail with this video and as proud songwriter of the Manhattan Bridge song(which I will gladly share your way), I am very touched that you included the beloved MB in this video. Thank you for a wonderful show and tour!

[charliecooper]

Soo very helpful! Thanks so much for breaking this down so simply!!!

[ehm_]

Used to live in whitestone and i could see the bridge from my window at night. I love this city i miss living there. Thank u for the video.

[howardsteamwell]

Verrazano will always be my favorite 😍 😍

[delishataylor]

It is a beautiful view on the Brooklyn Bridge I am so scared of heights but I must walk that bridge whenever I ever get to visit New York

[eSubis]

Brings back many childhood memories of trips to NY, very well done. I thing the number of cars that go over the GW is a little higher though ;) Keep the great videos coming.

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.

Visited New York a few years back (being Dutch) and rode a bike across Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan Bridge. Loved it! Hope to be back one day!

[Dapurge.]

I love this. I love my city. You know Brooklyn had to come first though 🔥🔥

[kurthamblet]

A+. Interjecting the location maps was excellent idea.

[bxbeautynyc]

" Did you know there is a George Washington Bridge and a Washington Bridge both in NYC?

[johnscanlan]

Just like Sixth Avenue, that NO ONE refers to by its official name Avenue of the Americas, no New Yorker ever calls The Triboro Bridge the RFK!

[mrmaq]

Excellent work. Never disappointed by your videos.

[frankkellogg]

Love All The New York Bridges!! Thank You!!

[lindakurman]

Love ur videos. Haven’t seen one in a while. Great

[berlindaarmijo]

Thank you! So much for such an awesome video. Look forward to the other bridges you'll have on your next video.
In 2009 went with friends to NY and stayed in Manhattan 7 nights it was a Wonderful experience we went to 8 different places in the subway we also walked on the Brooklyn bridge 🌉 was so very awesome. Would love to go again and visit more of NY we had a Great time there also watched Lion King live show.
