Verrazzano Narrows Bridge, NYC

The Verrazano-Narrows Bridge is a double-decked suspension bridge that connects the boroughs of Staten Island and Brooklyn on Long Island in New York City at the Narrows, the reach connecting the relatively protected upper bay with the larger lower bay.
The bridge is named for Italian explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano, the first known European navigator to enter New York Harbor and the Hudson River, while crossing The Narrows. It has a center span of 4,260 feet (1,298 m) and was the largest suspension bridge in the world at the time of its completion in 1964, until it was surpassed by the Humber Bridge in the United Kingdom in 1981. It now has the eighth longest center span in the world, and is the largest suspension bridge in the United States. Its massive towers can be seen throughout a good part of the New York metropolitan area, including from spots in all five boroughs of New York City.

Ellis Island

Red Steps in Times Square

The red steps are part of Duffy Square's TKTS booth
where Broadway Theater goers can buy tickets at
half price.
There are 27. They seat up to 500 people. Like much else of the structure, they are made of layers of thick glass, together with a red inlay to create the color. The steps are flecked with little silver bits called frets. These prevent a person from slipping, even when the steps are wet. The staircase will likely be lit at all times, but the red glow is not perceptible during the daylight hours, unless it is an overcast or misty day. The steps, using geothermal-based heating and cooling technology, will be slightly warmed during the winter months, to prevent the surface from icing over, and cooled in the summer so that the stairs don't become unbearably hot from constant exposure to the sun's rays.
