Brooklyn Bridge to the Bronx via FDR Drive

#newyorkcity
The Franklin D. Roosevelt East River Drive, commonly called the FDR Drive for short, is a 9.68-mile (15.58 km) limited-access parkway on the east side of the New York City borough of Manhattan. It starts near South and Broad Streets, just north of the Battery Park Underpass, and runs north along the East River to the 125th Street / Robert F. Kennedy Bridge / Willis Avenue Bridge interchange, where it becomes the Harlem River Drive. All of the FDR Drive is designated New York State Route 907L (NY 907L), an unsigned reference route.

Thank you for these videos, it gives those of us who have never travelled a chance to see and taste other places.

America is a complete shithole, why would you want to go there? Worst food in the world, artificial fake crap, mass shootings every day, constant threat of getting shot, healthcare that leaves people dying on the streets, some of the most stupid progressive laws that make no sense, and a politician with no spine! I mean what interests you, the abundance of Boring Mcdonalds fake artificial burgers, or go to a proper country with Natural delicious food? Are you interested in walmart? Seeing the overpriced department stores that sell everything another country has, except with boring fat people? Oh hell if I said this in America I would get cancelled big time by some green haired genderfluid idiot. Trust me I have been to America. You do not want to go there. Stay away.

From 6:30 to 6:35, you can see the three very deep sewer pits at the foot of the elevated expressway. I always make sure to stay in the left or center lane instead of the right. They are deeper than some of the worst potholes and the city designed them like that for drainage purposes. They will definitely bend or crack your wheels if you go at normal speed.
