The New York Landmarks Conservancy's Tourist in Your Own Town series explores some of New York City’s best hidden gems as well as some of the classic iconic landmarks. In this video from the series, we take a look at the Manhattan Bridge, the youngest of the three lower Manhattan crossings over the East River.
The Manhattan Bridge Arch and Colonnade, Manhattan Bridge Plaza at Canal Street (Carrere & Hastings, 1910-1915). Pylon sculptures groupings by Carl Heber and the frieze at the top entitled "Buffalo Hunt" is by Charles Rumsey.
