Since we've already covered the history of this bridge fairly well, this seems like as good a time as any to share a couple of stories from McNamara's Old Bronx that take place in the area. The first is an account of a journey by boat through the Croton Aqueduct, while the second tells of a tightrope walker who cooked flapjacks for his spectators while balanced high above the Harlem River.
