That's the name of both the steel arch railroad bridge and the waterway it spans. You can also see the Queens leg of the Triborough Bridge in the background.
Day 144
Hell Gate
May 22nd, 2012
I'm walking every street in New York City.
This is the counterpoint to my walk across the US. Instead of seeing a million places for just a minute each, I'm going to spend a million minutes exploring just one place. By the time I finish walking every block of every street in all five boroughs, I'll have traveled more than 8,000 miles on foot — all within a single city. Details!

Your donations allow me to keep walking full-time. If you think what I'm doing is valuable and you'd like to offer some support, I would be very grateful. On the other hand, if you think I'm a worthless bum, feel free to email me and tell me to get a job, bozo. Both are excellent options!
Awwww a baby Sydney Harbour Bridge. How cute.

I once saw a crappy movie called Hellgate Bridge
