I know, I used to be a Brooklyn snob myself. But since I moved to LIC, you hipsters and too cool to be hipsters can have it. Named after Polish military commander and American Revolutionary War fighter Kazimierz Pułaski, it connects Brooklyn and Queens. Designed by Frederick Zurmuhlen and opened to traffic on September 10, 1954, is a bascule bridge, a type of drawbridge. It carries six lanes of traffic over the water, Long Island Rail Road tracks, and the entrance to the Queens Midtown Tunnel. It has great views of the industrial areas surrounding and the Manhattan Skyline and serves as the halfway point in the New York City Marathon.
