The 59th Street Bridge

Taking a pause from the political happenings of today, I thought it would be nice to simply appreciate the beauty of NYC -- specifically, the romantic allure that is the 59th Street Bridge (otherwise known as the Queensborough Bridge or the Ed Koch Queensborough Bridge. Whatevs). 

As I wrote back in 2009, the 59th Street bridge is the coolest bridge in NYC. It's not flashy like the Brooklyn or the George Washington but is, as I wrote, the quiet sturdy bridge that doesn't call attention to itself -- the George Harrison of NYC bridges. 

F. Scott Fitzgerald memorialized it in The Great Gatsby, Woody Allen did so again in Manhattan, and Simon & Garfunkel wrote one of their greatest songs about it. 'Enuff said.
