I loved this episode, not only because of the content, but because it was presented by Mr. Wyetzner. He's the best!
-
This running series of videos on New York Architecture by Mr.Wyetzner is such a cool concept. Love everything about it.
-
This guy nails it. He has the facts, presents them in an interesting and engaging way, and dumbs down the information to us plebs perfectly.
-
Mr. Wyetzner is really the best. He simplifies the complex construction projects that’s really easy to understand. He’s a gem.
-
The next 5 NYC bridges I'd like to see discussed by Mr. Wyetzner would be: the Manhattan Bridge, the Williamsburg Bridge, the Queensboro Bridge, the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, and the no-longer-standing King's Bridge.

Absolutely fascinating. I simply cannot get enough of these architectural videos about New York. You mentioned the wonderful bus station at the Manhattan end of the George Washington Bridge, and said that nobody knows about it. Maybe you could do a video about that and other forgotten treasures of New York. In any case, more please...
-
The Verrazano bridge, Midtown Tunnel, Holland Tunnel and of course the 59th Street bridge…. DUH Amazing episode as always. Thank you for another history lesson about one of the greatest cities in the world NYC Bby ❤
-
I am a huge fan of NYC history and a novice/curious fan of architecture. My Dad worked in commercial construction for years so I really enjoy every one of these videos. Particularly since I used to live in Manhattan and miss being surrounded by inspiring architecture!
-
Feed me more of these videos so I can continue to architecturally digest!
-
RIP to the men who built the beautiful Brookly bridge. 😔😔
-
Great video, very interesting. Would be great to see similar breakdowns of other famous bridges; the Tower Bridge in London, the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Manhattan Bridge, the Charles Bridge in Prague, or the High Bridge in Amsterdam.
-
I appreciate that he included less popularly known bridges. There are so many structurally unique and interesting bridges in NYC that you could make a whole series about them.
-
Would love to see a video about the Pittsburgh area bridges.
-
This guy is a treasure, and watching these videos brings me back to my time living in NYC, walking 10-15 km a day and taking my own architecture tours by googling famous addresses of buildings and bridges I'd see.
-
I can’t get enough of these!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Mr. Weitzner!!!!!!
-
You have made a great combined story of engineering, art and history. Thanks!
-
Having been born in NY Hospital and living in the area for the next 45 years, I always enjoy learning of its history. Mr. Wyetzner did a fantastic job of bringing that history to life and for that I am truly greatful.
-
Really happy to see Emily Roebling get the recognition she earned.
-
Fascinating and so very interesting! NYC rocks and so do you! Thank you very, very much!
-
Thank you so much for this content. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing all these bridges, but I have to admit the GWB is my favorite of them all. I had “The Little Red Lighthouse at the Great Gray Bridge” as a little kid and as a teenager, I was thrilled to discover it was real when I saw it in person.
