RFK Bridge NYC - Formerly the Triborough Bridge - Video Views
This is some generic views of the RFK Bridge in New York City, a bridge which used to be known as the Triboro Bridge.
RFK, of course, stands for Robert F. Kennedy, the former Attorney General of the United States and brother of assassinated president John F. Kennedy. Robert Kennedy was also assassinated five years after the death of his brother, in 1968.
The RFK Bridge is actually three bridges, a viaduct, and 14 miles of approach roads connecting Manhattan, Queens, and the Bronx.
It was built in 1936 and was originally known as the Triborough Bridge (also spelled Triboro). Often still referred to as simply the Triboro, the spans were officially named after Robert F. Kennedy in 2008.
I live in an apartment building with a pretty good view of this bridge from the other side of the East River on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. I shot some of the video from our window, some from the roof of our building, and some from ground level under the bridge.
In the opening shot, you can also see LaGuardia Airport beyond the bridge.
The RFK Bridge stands next to the Ward's Island Bridge, which is dedicated to train traffic. It's the brown bridge behind the RFK as you look at the video.
Driving to Gardiner, New York from Midtown Manhattan
Friday, June 29th, 2018 - Drove from Midtown Manhattan to Gardiner, New York on the weekend before July 4th. Traffic out of Manhattan via the west side highway and the Lincoln tunnel was less than optimal(at a stand still). Ended up taking 10th north, through the upper west side, past Harlem, upper Manhattan and Washington Heights to the George Washington Bridge. Took 45 minutes to leave NYC. After crossing the GW Bridge, connected up with I95 to I80 before turning onto route 17 near Hackensack. Drove on route 17 until it merged into I87 north. Exited I87 around the New York Stewart airport before taking local routes 23 and 21 to our destination. Return trip was the following day and took a similar route back except for taking the Garden State Parkway back towards NYC. Good weather, uneventful drive except for the heavy traffic leaving NYC.

From Wikipedia .com
The Triborough Bridge (known officially as the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge, and sometimes referred to as the RFK Triborough Bridge, the RFK Bridge, or simply the RFK) is a complex of bridges and elevated expressway viaducts[2] in New York City. The bridges link the boroughs of Manhattan , Queens and the Bronx.
The Harlem River Drive is a 4.20-mile (6.76 km) long north–south parkway in the New York City borough of Manhattan. It runs along the west bank of the Harlem River from the Triborough Bridge in East Harlem to 10th Avenue in Inwood, where the parkway ends and the road continues north as Dyckman Street. The portion of the Harlem River Drive from the Triborough Bridge to the Alexander Hamilton Bridge is a limited-access highway. South of the Triborough Bridge, the parkway continues toward lower Manhattan as FDR Drive. All of the Harlem River Drive is designated New York State Route 907P (NY 907P), an unsigned route.
George Washington Bridge is a double-decked suspension bridge spanning the Hudson River, connecting the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City with the borough of Fort Lee in New Jersey. The bridge is named after George Washington, the first President of the United States. The George Washington Bridge is the world's busiest motor vehicle bridge,[5][6] carrying over 103 million vehicles per year in 2016.[a] It is owned by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, a bi-state government agency that operates infrastructure in the Port of New York and New Jersey. The George Washington Bridge is also informally known as the GW Bridge, the GWB, the GW, or the George,[7] and was known as the Fort Lee Bridge or Hudson River Bridge during construct
The George Washington Bridge is an important travel corridor within the New York metropolitan area. It has an upper level that carries four lanes in each direction and a lower level with three lanes in each direction, for a total of 14 lanes of travel. The speed limit on the bridge is 45 mph (72 km/h). The bridge's upper level also carries pedestrian and bicycle traffic. Interstate 95 (I-95) and U.S. Route 1/9 (US 1/9, composed of US 1 and US 9) cross the river via the bridge. US 46, which lies entirely within New Jersey, terminates halfway across the bridge at the state border with New York.
The Palisades Interstate Parkway (PIP) is a 38.25-mile-long (61.56 km) limited-access highway in the U.S. states of New Jersey and New York. The parkway is a major commuter route into New York City from Rockland and Orange counties in New York and Bergen County in New Jersey. The southern terminus of the route is at the George Washington Bridge in Fort Lee, New Jersey, where it connects to Interstate 95 (I-95), U.S. Route 1–9 (US 1–9), US 46 and Route 4. Its northern terminus is at a traffic circle in Fort Montgomery, New York, where the PIP meets US 9W and US 202 at the Bear Mountain Bridge. At exit 18, the PIP forms a concurrency with US 6 for the remaining duration of its run.Expressway.

What Kind of Coffee do you drink?
Don't really feel like giving up the joys of Coffee but would like to make more health conscious decisions, the solution is here.
Drink the benefits of Ganoderma coffee and also sample all the other DXN products and enjoy the difference!
The King of herbs
Scientific research has confirmed the many positive effects of Ganoderma on the body including the purification of the bloodstream, blood circulation as well as improves cell quality. It will strengthen the immune system as well as enable your organs to function optimally. Ganoderma has been proven to reduce the effects of poor circulation and maintain a healthy body.
The two-way effect of ganoderma, that it can increase or decrease blood pressure, may sound strange. Since ganoderma hamonizes the body's functions, enhances the natural self-healing ability, can strengthen the immune system.
Thanks to the Ganoderma Mushroom, its extract can be mixed with High Quality Arabica coffee from Brazil. This creates a very unique taste, as well as has a very positive effect on the body.
Your body accumulates acids which are neutralized by the effects of the Ganoderma mushroom if used regularly. This mushroom will also regulate blood pressure and stabilize the effects of high and low fluctuations in the body.
The Ganoderma Mushroom (Ganoderma Lucidum) contains nearly 200 alimentary substances which have positive effects on our body. One of those ingredients is Organic Germanium which is one of the most healing substances in Nature. The Ganoderma Mushroom is a virtuous plant therefore not containing side effects which weaken the body after long term use. In fact, this type of mushroom improves your immune system and helps the body heal itself more rapidly.
People tend to forget to take their daily vitamin dose or have to give up their food supplement in the absence of financial means.

Dyker Heights Verrazano Narrows Bridge
Dyker Heights Verrazano Narrows Bridge connecting from the belt parkway to dyker heights section of brooklyn into 4th avenue
History:
The Verrazano-Narrows Bridge is a double-decked suspension bridge that connects the boroughs of Staten Island and Brooklyn in New York City at the Narrows, the reach connecting the relatively protected upper bay with the larger lower bay.
The bridge is named for Italian explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano, the first known European navigator to enter New York Harbor and the Hudson River, while crossing The Narrows. It has a center span of 4,260 feet (1,298 m) and was the largest suspension bridge in the world at the time of its completion in 1964, until it was surpassed by the Humber Bridge in the United Kingdom in 1981. It now has the eighth longest center span in the world, and is the largest suspension bridge in the United States. Its massive towers can be seen throughout a good part of the New York metropolitan area, including from spots in all five boroughs of New York City.
The bridge furnishes a critical link in the local and regional highway system. It is the starting point of the New York City Marathon. The bridge marks the gateway to New York Harbor; all cruise ships and most container ships arriving at the Port of New York and New Jersey must pass underneath the bridge and thus must be built to accommodate the clearance under the bridge. This is most notable in the case of the ocean liner RMS Queen Mary 2.
The bridge is owned by New York City and operated by the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority, an affiliate agency of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. Interstate 278 passes over the bridge, connecting the Staten Island Expressway with the Gowanus Expressway and the Belt Parkway. The Verrazano, along with the other three major Staten Island bridges, created a new way for commuters and travelers to reach Brooklyn, Long Island, and Manhattan by car from New Jersey.
The bridge was the last great public works project in New York City overseen by Robert Moses, the New York State Parks Commissioner and head of the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority, who had long desired the bridge as a means of completing the expressway system which was itself largely the result of his efforts. The bridge was the last project designed by Chief Engineer Othmar Ammann, who had also designed most of the other major crossings of New York City, including the George Washington Bridge, the Bayonne Bridge, the Bronx Whitestone Bridge, the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge, and the Throgs Neck Bridge. The plans to build the bridge caused considerable controversy in the neighborhood of Bay Ridge, because many families had settled in homes in the area where the bridge now stands and were forced to relocate.
Construction on the bridge began August 13, 1959, and the upper deck was opened on November 21, 1964 at a cost of $320 million. New York City Mayor Robert F. Wagner cut the ribbon at the opening ceremony, which was attended by over 5,000 people. The lower deck opened on June 28, 1969. The bridge took over the title of the longest suspension bridge in the world (previously held by the Golden Gate Bridge) from 1964 until 1981, when it was eclipsed by the Humber Bridge in England.
Fort Lafayette was an island coastal fortification in New York Harbor, built next to Fort Hamilton at the southern tip of what is now Bay Ridge. It was destroyed as part of the bridge's construction in 1960; the Brooklyn-side bridge pillars now occupy the fort's former foundation site.
According to the United States Department of Transportation:
Each of the two towers contains 1,000,000 bolts and 3,000,000 rivets. The diameter of each of the four suspension cables is 36 inches (91 cm). Each cable is composed of 26,108 wires amounting to a total of 143,000 miles (230,087 km) in length
* Due to the height of the towers (693 ft, 211 m) and their distance apart (4260 ft, 1298 m), the curvature of the earth's surface had to be taken into account when designing the bridge -- the towers are 1+5⁄8 inches (4.1275 cm) farther apart at their tops than at their bases. Due to thermal expansion/contraction of the steel cables, the bridge roadway is 12 feet (370 cm) lower in summer than its winter elevation. The bridge is affected by weather more than any other bridge in the city because of its size and isolated location close to the open ocean. It is occasionally closed (either partially or entirely) during strong wind and snow storms. The Queen Mary 2 had to shorten her funnel to pass under the bridge, and still has barely 3 m (9.75 ft) of clearance. The bridge has fostered more traffic on the Outerbridge Crossing and the Goethals Bridge, both of which connect Staten Island with New Jersey. The naming of the bridge for Verrazzano was controversial. It was first proposed in 1951 by the Italian Historical Society of America, when the bridge was in the planning stage.

Watch raw: NYPD ESU rescue a distressed man from RFK Triborough Bridge
Watch: video taken from a police helicopter showing police rescue showing rescue of a distressed man. Story details below.
Randalls Island- Yesterday, police rescued a man who had climbed up on the Robert F. Kennedy-Triborough Bridge and was reportedly threatening to jump, according to officials.
Police received the call of a man on the bridge at about 2:30 PM; this prompted officers from the NYPD’s Emergency Service Unit—a group that handles special rescues, as well as emotionally distressed individuals—to respond to the scene.
Upon arrival, ESU personnel put on climbing harnesses and other safety equipment, before making their way up the bridge, stopping just below the man to give him space while they talked with him.

Driving To New York City - First Time British Drivers In NYC
Continuing our American Northeast road trip and a it’s time to drive into NYC for the first time. Our hotel ‘The Casablanca’ was on west 43rd street on the corner of Times Square.
???? Watch more of our USA road trips
We were driving for the most part on the Interstate 95 (I-95) down the Atlantic coast into New York.
The weather was bad when we left Newport Rhode Island but the sun was out by the time we reached NYC.
We drove into the city from the north through the East Bronx, across the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge and down onto the FDR Driver along side the east river. Then down 49th street into Midtown Manhattan.
After dropping off Mrs W and the luggage at the hotel, the busiest part was trying to get through the traffic and drop the car off at the Avis depot on the side of Penn Station (unfortunately, too busy to film that bit!)
Car returned to Avis is one piece.

NEW YORK CITY - USA Travel Guide | Around The World
New York City (also referred to as New York, NYC, The Big Apple, or just The City by locals), is the most populous city in the United States. It lies at the mouth of the Hudson River in the southernmost part of the state, which is part of the Mid-Atlantic region of the U.S. The city spans a land area of 305 square miles (790km²).
New York City has a population of approximately 8.2 million people. The New York Metropolitan Area, which spans lower New York, northern New Jersey, and southwestern Connecticut, has a population of 18.7 million, making it the largest metropolitan area in the U.S. As of 2014, it was one of the 15 largest metro areas in the world.
New York City is a center for media, culture, food, fashion, art, research, finance, and trade. It has one of the largest and most famous skylines on earth, dominated by the iconic Empire State Building.
New York City consists of five boroughs, which are five separate counties. Each borough has a unique culture and could be a large city in its own right. Within each borough individual neighborhoods, some several square miles in size, and others only a few blocks in size, have personalities lauded in music and film. Where you live, work, and play in New York says something to New Yorkers about who you are.
Manhattan (New York County)
The famous island between the Hudson and East Rivers, with many diverse and unique neighborhoods. Manhattan is home to the Empire State Building in Midtown, Central Park, Times Square, Wall Street, Harlem, and the trendy neighborhoods of Greenwich Village and SoHo.
Brooklyn (Kings County)
The most populous borough, and formerly a separate city. Located south and east of Manhattan across the East River. Known for the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Prospect Park, The Brooklyn Museum, The New York Aquarium and a key NYC landmark Coney Island.
Queens (Queens County)
Located to the east of Manhattan, across the East River, and north, east, and south of Brooklyn. With over 170 languages spoken, Queens is the most ethnically diverse region in the United States, and one of the most diverse in the world.
The Bronx (Bronx County)
Located north of Manhattan Island, the Bronx is home to the Bronx Zoo, the New York Botanical Gardens, and the New York Yankees professional baseball team.
Staten Island (Richmond County)
A large island in New York Harbor, south of Manhattan and just across the narrow Kill Van Kull from New Jersey. Unlike the rest of New York City, Staten Island has a suburban character.
IATA: NYC is the code for all New York City airports, and the city is extremely well connected by air with flights from almost every corner of the world. Three large and several small airports serve the region.
John F. Kennedy International Airport (IATA: JFK) and Newark Liberty International Airport (IATA: EWR) (the latter in New Jersey) are large international airports, while LaGuardia Airport (IATA: LGA) is a busy domestic airport. All three airports are run by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
Like most of the great world cities, New York has an abundance of great attractions - so many, that it would be impossible to list them all here. What follows is but a sampling of the most high-profile attractions in New York City; more detailed info can be found in the district pages. Many tourist attractions in New York City offer free or discounted admission on certain days, eg Museum of Modern Art's Free Friday, or Museums on Us® program by Bank of America.
Tourists often spend their entire vacation in New York standing in line (or as New Yorkers say, standing on line). This is often unnecessary; there are usually alternatives. For example, one can choose to avoid the Empire State Building during the day (it is open, and empty, late, until midnight or 2AM on weekends during summer), skip the Statue of Liberty in favor of the Staten Island Ferry, and stay away from the Guggenheim on Monday (it is one of the only museums open that day). Also, there is no reason to stand in line for a Broadway show if you already have a ticket with an assigned seat. If you prefer, get a drink nearby and come back closer to curtain time, when you can walk right in. The lines for bus tours can be absurd because tourists all seem to have the exact same itinerary - which is get on a bus in the morning in Times Square, get off for the Statue of Liberty, and finish on the East Side in the afternoon. Why not go downtown in the morning, and save Midtown for the afternoon? You will thank yourself for avoiding the crowds. Also, understand that buses are the slowest way to go crosstown in Midtown Manhattan during peak hours, and taxis are not much better. You are often better off either on foot or taking the subway.
