Happy 100th Birthday; Manhattan Bridge
Tonight, fireworks will light up the skies at the East River Park Amphitheatre in NYC in celebration of the 100th birthday of the Manhattan Bridge. The entrance to the park is on Jackson Street just north of the bridge itself. There will be many places along the east side and Brooklyn to view the fireworks, the South Street Seaport I am sure, will be packed with fireworks enthusiasts.
A week long list of events to celebrate this milestone of the youngest bridge along the east river can be found at the NYC Bridge Centennial Commission website.
I have always loved the entrance to the bridge on the Manhattan side, which is now engulfed in our China town district. Thanks to Card Cow we have a view of what it once looked like.
