As an urbanist, I'm thrilled about the Brooklyn Heights Promenade at 41:31. It's a great idea to create a cantilever over the road to extend a walking area above it, while also hiding a significant part of the noise from the road. Bravo!

The bridge at 49:00 he went under. Only ever been to ny once. That is where we went, to get a puppy. All the way from worcester county ma. My mother had this thing for purebreds. Somewhere around there is where we got that dog. That breeder was not good, all of his cockerspaniels had rage disorders. State made us put ours down for bites and when we looked into it a lot of customers had the same issue.
