Visual Guided Tours of New York City

The Henry Hudson Parkway (9A), runs along the Hudson River, and is just below Riverside Drive. Riverside Drive is sometimes on two levels: The higher one is always residential on one side, giving residents a view of the river.

For Instance, this was taken at 152nd and Riverside Drive, but the road below is also Riverside Drive. In these instances, the two drives are divided by a small park such as this.

I call this address 160th and "up up" Riverside Drive, since Riverside splits into 3 roads for a couple for blocks.

There's some wonderful detail in this terra cotta a block up at 161st and "up up" Riverside Drive, but the bottom of this unused entrance has graffiti on it.

We're back between 153rd and 155th (no zoom) on the main level. The next 4 photos were also shot in this vicinity, with varying amounts of zoom.

This bridge starts at 158th. There's at exit from HHP at 155th and a means for people to get to the basketball courts and greenway on the other side of the highway.

All the rest of the photos on this page were shot from the bridge except the very last one. They are mostly panned from right to left (NW to SW) and some used zoom.
