Episode Description
For the first time in decades pedestrians and bicyclists can now travel over New York City’s oldest standing bridge. The High Bridge, connecting Washington Heights in Manhattan to Highbridge in the Bronx, re-opened to the public last month after being closed for more than 40 years. A new children’s book aims to educate kids about the High Bridge. It’s called The Lowdown on the High Bridge: The Story of How New York City Got Its Water. It’s written by none other than Sonia Manzano, best known as Maria from Sesame Street. Manzano grew up in the Bronx. She is our guest on this edition of Cityscape.
