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.

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.

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.

AWESOME VIDEO! 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.

You forgot to mention that the Verrazano Narrows bridge is the longest suspension bridge in the US.

Only the Main span is the longest. The Longest suspension bridge under cables is the Mackinac Bridge in Michigan.

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.

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.

That exactly right; when I was little I thought the White Stone Bridge was a second Verrazano in the Bronx. Of course it's half the size.

When I. Visited New Jersey, the last time was in 2010, I took PATH from Journal Square, then the Subway to one stop before the Bay Ridge terminus, then the bus over the bridge to Staten Island Mall, then another bus to St. Geotge’s ferry terminal!then back to Manhattan. I think the buses were S79 and S44. Nice ide.

The new Goethals bridge connecting Elizabeth NJ to Staten Island is so beautiful. Would have been nice to see it in this lineup. I never knew where the name came from. It is named after George Washington Goethals. A civil engineer who built the Panama Canal and was the first Governor of the Panama Canal zone. He had a hand in many other projects. A great man.

Fun fact: the Brooklyn Bridge was also supposed to have subway lines serve it like the Manhattan and Williamsburg Bridges, but such plans were axed because of funding issues
