    Reviews With Photos - Pulaski Bridge

    An early Sunday morning.
    Kwame S.

    This bridge connects Brooklyn to Queens and has some nice views of Manhattan. The Pulaski Bridge, which is probably used more by residents than tourists, is very friendly for pedestrians. To make crossing the bridge easier, there is a physical barrier separating the pedestrian path from the bicycle lane, which is always great for both parties. The Queens' side of the bridge drops you off in Long Island City section of Queens, where there are a few bars and restaurants. It's worth checking out (for Manhattan sites) if you are in the neighborhood, but I would not go out of my way just to cross this bridge.

    Small bridge which connects Queens to Brooklyn. Have crossed over it many times while doing my training runs from Manhattan over to LIC then over to Williamsburg and back. As compared to other NYC bridges it's nothing all that special and unassuming, but it offers some nice city views and it's also a drawbridge. Also, makes it easy to hit multiple boroughs in one shot.

    Great bridge for crossing by bike (or on foot) with stunning views of the NYC skyline. Not a lot of walkers / cyclists, so the lack of separate, designated lanes is not an issue. Be careful though and pay attention for cyclists and pedestrians to avoid a painful crunch. Two broad pull outs off the pedestrian way allow ample photo opportunities of NYC's skyline. The bridge also welcomes you to Brooklyn.

    I like this little bridge! I find compared to other small passes in NYC this span is kept immaculate whether it's the road way or pedestrian walkway. Strange thing is there's no potholes on it either! Thanks to the NYC DOT they keep this thing freshly painted and liven for when it needs to be raised. I wold suggest though that they rehab the little tower that the bridge operator sits in. The windows are broke and the paint is peeling. Other than that it gets a thumbs up from me!

    Amazing Bridge. 1) My review is based on my experience walking over this bridge. 2) Walking bridges in NYC is one of my favorite pastime. This bridge did not disappoint. 3) Enjoyed the views.

    Can you see it foolio?

    It is quite comical to read yelpers writing reviews on this bridge and commenting on purely extraneous things like history, scenery, etc It's a god damn bridge people - it's over water and connects LIC to Brooklyn. I can drive my car over water because of this bridge - hallelujah! That's all that matters here folks - what the h@ll is wrong with you people? People continue to write essays and novels on nonsense concerning this bridge - it's annoying I'll tell you two things that suck about this bridge AND this is applicable: 1. Speed limit is friggin 30mph! My moped from the early 90s has a higher top speed than this. Dumb cop gave me a ticket for going 40mph - retarded 2. It's a drawbridge and I had to wait twice for it - just want to go home sometimes, but I get it. Doesn't mean I won't complain about it sucker- There. You have it. The righteY to write a Yelp review on a bridge

Completed in 1883, this suspension bridge with its visually familiar stone arches has been featured in many Hollywood blockbusters including: Spider-Man, The French Connection, Enchanted, Sex and the City, I Am Legend, Cloverfield, Godzilla, Deep Impact, Moonstruck, and Sophie's Choice. Fun fact: in order to prove its safety, P.T. Barnum once crossed the bridge with 21 elephants. Today, this bridge averages nearly 29K pedestrians and over 103K vehicles PER DAY. Although I've been in NYC a handful of times, I've only ever walked across this bridge once in my life. Started on the Manhattan side and made my way over to Brooklyn, before walking it back over to Manhattan. All in, took me about 20mins with multiple stops for photos. On both ends of the bridge, you'll find a variety of merchants hawking their goods. Although there is substantially more on the Manhattan side than Brooklyn. A lot of the vendors will carry the same goods, but the prices are not all made equal. I recommend walking a bit deeper in if you spot something you like to see if you can find it cheaper. You can always double back if you cannot find it again. The pedestrian promenade is pretty wide and accommodates a pretty heavy flow of foot traffic, with plenty of room to stop to take pictures. And speaking of pictures, you'll definitely be treated to gorgeous, unobstructed views of the Lower Manhattan skyline and the East River walking in either direction. There is also separate protected bicycle path which is great in preventing collisions between pedestrians and cyclists. Come here on a beautiful day like I did and enjoy the extra cardio while soaking up the view. It's definitely worth it and something you should do at least once when visiting NYC.

Along the way I passed hawkers selling their tourist trinkets, knockoff bags, food and drink. However once past the first bridge tower then the crowds started to thin out and was quieter as headed down towards the Brooklyn side. The bridge is an icon and the walk brought me closer to its distinctive design. Views were beautiful and clear that Friday afternoon. Periodic signs provided the bridge history. Overall finished the walk across in less than 30 minutes.

As the rich moved north, the district became NYC's premier retail, entertainment, and "hospitality" corridor (1850-1880) to industrial manufacturing center, especially garments and textiles (1880-1960) to target for demolition for a highway project. But then the artists came in, the reports claimed the area was vital, and preservationists protected it, allowing it to become the international center of the avant-garde art world in the 70s and 80s. Today, the neighborhood allegedly functions as a major upscale international shopping district, despite the fake handbags on blankets on the illegal sidewalk sales. I got a good deal on a Kartier watch. So, the vibe is rigid, geometric, heavy iron meets Belgian cobblestones, for a grounded and old feeling in contrast with the soaring ceilings, oversized windows, and wide open floor plans that flood the area with pale, northern light, which gives it the historic but chic museum feel. Plus, there is a lingering cool factor, a quiet swagger, rooted in the creative rebellion. If SoHo were a cocktail mixed from southern California neighborhoods, it would be 40% Los Angeles Arts District (structurally and historically), 34% Abbot Kinney/Venice (hyper-curated indie retail and open-air runway feel); 25% Old Pasadena (living museum feel), 1% Hollywood (the touristy-heavy trashiest parts locals avoid).
