Your mood and energy changes instantly, at least mine did. Three double-lane tubes make up the tunnels. The middle tube's lanes are contra-flowed depending on traffic. FACT: I was wondering why on the NJ side there are 3 visible tunnel opening but only 2 on the NY side. Turns out, the north tunnel in NY has a separate opening a block away from the middle & south tunnels.

While we usually opt for public transportation for shows, our specific situation that day demanded the drive and dreaded east-bound toll. (You pay toll only when driving east-bound into NYC. It's free if you're going to Jersey.) The Lincoln Tunnel is a major vehicular tunnel that connects Manhattan in New York City to Weehawken in Jersey. It spans about a mile and a half under the Hudson River. The tunnel is made up of three different "tunnels" or tubes, each carrying two lanes of traffic. Based on traffic patterns at different times of the day, which are east-bound and which are west-bound changes to alleviate congestion. So please pay attention. I prefer the tunnels over the bridges whenever driving into NYC because you encounter less oversized, giant trucks for the most part. Some commercial trucks are allowed in the Lincoln, but they're much smaller.

The Bayonne Bridge is pretty and will get you to Staten Island, and it's currently undergoing construction and is EZ pass only, in fact because nobody without EZ Pass is even allowed on here anymore, cash customers need to avoid this bridge. It's the fifth longest Steel Bridge in the world, and at night time they annoyingly constantly are closing it. The roadworks were in full effect as recently as the last time I used it. The footpath is absolutely lovely, but of course traffic is a bit more now that it's a nicer bridge. Now let's finish with a song (unless we're in Helsinki, in which case we'll Finnish with a song).

The amount of hours I spent in my life waiting for this gate to clear from vehicles is enormous. And it's condition? Thank got they started working on it. The view from this bridge is a view that show you the heavy industrial area surrounding the area. And the bridge bland well with that rusty color and dirty water bellow it. You know, I started with 1 star, and added one just now while writing, thinking there is something cool about this bridge after all...

City Tech and NYU are also housed in the area. In the summer you can see great concerts for free. Great seating area for lunch and free movies in the summer, and a cool choice if restaurants and hotels. Every December they have a Christmas tree lighting. This year they really outdid themselves. Hot chocolate and donuts, a rocking DJ, and beautiful ice carvings. And a performance by an all female Afro-Brazilian drumming group named Batala. They were awesome. I also enjoyed the MC, who kept everyone engaged and entertained. Then Santa arrived to light the beautiful tree. Its always nice to know that you can see a beautiful tree in Brooklyn, get great refreshments,meeting people, do a few line dances, warm up and then the a ha moment sets in. In have to go back to work. I filled my pockets with miniature candy canes and went on my merry little way and finished the rest of my evening with a very nice memory and a smile on my face.

We were able to run through the viaduct which was open to pedestrians only on this day.

Pretty much just a tunnel. Some cool architecture to see. That's pretty much it.

Grand Central Station and the Helmsley Building are always included in my enjoyment. I love this area. I can't seem to take enough photos from every angle. One year during Summer Streets I really took some great photos inside the tunnel. The old light fixtures and details are dirty and unkept but they still trigger my imagination. I'm taken back to a different time. During Summer Streets this tunnel is open for pedestrians. If you go other times you will get run down! I hope you enjoy my photos.

The atmosphere of Washington Street is unique--it combines the calm, almost residential feel of the DUMBO neighborhood with a subtle tourist vibe. I like the strong contrast between the historic brick buildings and the modern city life around them. It's a perfect place for a leisurely walk, photography, or simply watching the surroundings in a relaxed way. You really get the feeling of experiencing one of those authentic, classic New York moments here.

It definitely reminds me a lot of the other side - the Manhattan side. I suppose I should have expected that. I remember running under here trying to catch a late night train. That was quite a long time ago. Good memories though. Although it was way too cold for me to be wearing what I was wearing. I was here more recently in warm weather.

Stentorian in demeanor, the arches are a dry place for hoboes to snooze by night upon buttery-smooth (maple? elm?) public benches buffed by decades of derrieres and raised high enough to forestall any worry --on the part of these forlorn bindlestiffs --regarding ravenous rats from the Brooklyn's nearby wharf-side, blocks away. On holidays, 'event' days, weekends, or "merchant/retailer weeks" you can find these same areas thronged with cottage-crafts and trinket-vendors. How much money these small entrepreneurs rake in, I'm sure I can't say. But it can be lively; and the cobblestones underfoot are a treat for one's heels. And of course the photo ops against the brutish backdrop of stone and concrete. Even more adamantly so, [the popularity of this last prerogative] at the nearby intersection of Water St with S. Washington St; (see picture) which is the favorite of every camera-wielding moron tourist out there. What attests more to the picturesque appeal of this particular intersection is the early-morning presence of professional models and photographers doing dawn shoots in this streetscape. A frequent sight. The hint of a 'New York that never was'.

It's a nice footbridge going over whip Nae Nae (not sure why I said that) on the west side of town, oh I meant 9A, the street that at most times a day you would not really want to try to cross on foot, although I've done so many times. It's a 1992 Bridge and there are nice views despite the obstruction from the grates. It's pretty over here and due to the great views, I like it a lot, and I'm definitely not going to give it less than a four, even though everybody else seemed to do so.

Completed in 1992, Tribeca Bridge resonate a modern design. Steps leading to the bridge are spiral and long stairway but hones a beautiful view of the entry way. Albeit, a safe passage to cross the street but with the long spiral stairway and walk way it does not save time, otherwise I'd suggest to cross at street level dodging perilous traffic. Elevator ability is accessible for those with physical limitations and, it is to my belief, feeds a foul stench. Through the grates of this pedestrian foot bridge some nice views are presented.
