Hell Gate in NYC
Hell Gate is actually a river junction just off the Upper East Side of Manhattan. There’s a great view of it from Gracie Mansion. Or, I think there is but the fence is high on that side of Gracie and I can’t see if they have a sightline. Well, they’re elevated so they probably have no problem looking over their own fence.
It’s technically between an island on the East River and Queens, but I’ll claim it for Manhattan. I’ve thought of it where the Harlem River and the East River join. You can definitely see some tumult in the river at that point and it is a really nice view.
There’s a wonderful pathway along the river at that point. Lots of trees and joggers.
Below is a southward view.
I have to admit that supplying benches is something that NYC does very well.
Below you can glimpse some of the swirling water that typify the area.

Yeah! The site’s layout is AWESOME, I must say. I found this thrgouh Matt Brett. I don’t really know him, but I follow his blog and stuff. He makes such wicked cool layouts, so it’s always a pleasure to the eye anytime I’m at a site that he designed.And yup, the Emma site is mine. Have you heard of her before? She’s an X-Men character don’t know if you read comics or not. But yeah, she’s an AWESOME character so you should probably check her out. Plus, she’s sexy, and that’s always a plus. And I guess Snyder showing Dr. Manhattan’s super huge slong meant that he REALLY wanted to stay close to the comics.
