FDR Dr Between 79th St and 77th St
Depending on where you are, there is actually a considerable amount of sidewalk space alongside the FDR (on the other side of the barrier, of course). The most obvious is the large promenade / park which sits between the East River and the street- but every now and then, there's some walking space along the west side of the FDR as well. In this particular case, it was a little bit of both. Around here there's a south-bound entrance, which provides a little bit of pedestrian walking space. At 78th St is a park along with an overpass to the river-side promenade- which provides some really interesting views.
Obviously around here, the focus is on the unique characteristics, and there are certainly plenty of them. The overpass to the park is interesting to me. Basically, unless you plan your route you could find yourself stuck on the wrong side of the FDR for 10 blocks.

is that pedestrian overpass scary?
