EE Broadway Local Posted November 18, 2009 #1 Posted November 18, 2009 Which New York bridges have you walked, run, ridden a bicycle, a bus or driven across and is there a bridge you enjoy at sunset?
LRG Posted November 18, 2009 #2 Posted November 18, 2009 My favorite is the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. It's become a regular to my commute to and from college. It's very scenic, offers good photo ops, and it's just...beautiful, especially at sunrise and sunset.
ColumbiaDeath Posted November 18, 2009 #3 Posted November 18, 2009 I bike across the Brooklyn for a commute. Regularly bike over Queensboro, Williamsburg, Manhattan and Brooklyn for pleasure
mark1447 Posted November 18, 2009 #4 Posted November 18, 2009 I've walked on the BK Bridge[Love it], 145th/149th Street, 155th St, Third Avenue!
Forest Glen Posted November 18, 2009 #5 Posted November 18, 2009 My favorite bridges Manhattan-despite a major design flaw it is the strongest bridge in the city. It carries 400,000 subway riders each day as well as trucks and buses Verrazano-a freakishly large and beautiful bridge Brooklyn-the most famous bridge in the world. Although it doesn't carry commercial traffic it is still a vital part of the city's infrastructure Whitestone-another large and beautiful bridge Least favorite Williamsburg-the ugliest bridge ever created. I've walked across all of the BMW crossings.
Y2Julio Posted November 18, 2009 #6 Posted November 18, 2009 Moving to off topic since this isn't about the bridges that the MTA owns.
NX Express Posted November 18, 2009 #7 Posted November 18, 2009 The Brooklyn Bridge even has these stands with the history of the bridge on it. When I was there, it was so windy I almost got blown off:(

St Louis Car 09 Posted November 19, 2009 #9 Posted November 19, 2009 My experiences were Brooklyn Bridge-walked over it back in 2004 and It was intimidating at first,but It quickly became a thrill.Also rode on it as well(via car) Manhattan Bridge-Personally my favorite bridge.Walked over it in 2005 and barely no Ped or bike traffic,but can be intimidating with the water on one side and the subways on the other.Of course rode the subway over it.first time being 1990. Queensboro Bridge-Walked it a few years ago,mildly impressed:( Other bridges via car Whitestone Bridge throgs neck GWB Verazzano bridge Goethals bridge rte 278

RTS CNG Command Posted November 19, 2009 #11 Posted November 19, 2009 I've taken the subway across the Manhattan, rode over the Verrazano and Queensborough, and rode AND walked on the Brooklyn Bridge. I've even rode over the George Washington Bridge and Broadway Bridge. The Brooklyn Bridge is my favorite, with the Manhattan and Spyten Duyvil (Amtrak) Bridges second and third respectively.
RokuSix Posted November 20, 2009 #12 Posted November 20, 2009 I've been across every major bridge except for the Bayonne and Outerbridge Crossing. I've walked across the Brooklyn and Manhattan. I've driven, or have been driven, over the others. My favorite is the Throgs Neck Bridge. It has a beautiful approach that seems endless!

Dan05979 Posted November 25, 2009 #15 Posted November 25, 2009 I go over the Tri-boro every morning during the week come home using the 59st bridge. The traffic sucks at night for the 59 into manhattan.
Guest Charles Posted November 25, 2009 #16 Posted November 25, 2009 The Whitestone Bridge got some great views, Queensboro Bridge is an underappreciated icon, and Hell Gate Bridge for its structure. those are my 3 favorite bridges, though all the bridges have their own merits.
