This week, we’ll go to the east side of New York:
You’re looking at the F.D.R. Drive on the east side of Manhattan, at 37th Street, near the portal to the Queens-Midtown Tunnel, and just a bit to the south of the U.N.
Construction on the FDR began in the 1930’s, but continued into the 1960’s, with completion delayed by WWII and the amount of time needed to convert the original boulevard to a controlled-access parkway.
