Designed by renowned engineer Othmar H. Ammann, this double-decked suspension bridge spans the Hudson River, connecting Fort Lee, New Jersey, to Washington Heights in Manhattan. Initially named the Hudson River Bridge, it was renamed in honor of the first President of the United States. With its majestic towers rising 604 feet above the water and a main span of 3,500 feet, the George Washington Bridge was the longest suspension bridge in the world at the time of its opening. Over the decades, it has become an essential artery for commuters, carrying millions of vehicles annually between New Jersey and New York.

[VIDEO] Katz's Makes New York's Most Legendary Pastrami On Rye

2026-03-04T12:00:00-05:00

Katz's Delicatessen is one of New York City's longest-treasured destinations. The 132-year-old deli is famous for pastrami on rye, a plate that requires about a month's attention. The meat is cured for three to four weeks, then steamed, boiled, and expertly carved into thin slices before it's layered between rye bread with deli mustard. But ever since restaurants and bars shut down for dine-in service, Katz's has been relying solely on pickup and delivery orders to keep business going. Fortunately, the deli has prevented laying off employees by assigning new jobs to busboys and waiters without any customers to serve.
