Let's Find Out Which New York City Bridge Matches Your Personality

There's One NYC Bridge That Matches Your Personality — Let's Find Out Which One It Is

How do you feel about walking near cyclists?

Be honest: How much walking do you want to do?

Which New York/Italian/ Yiddish saying are you most likely to use?

Finally, who would your friends say you are in the group dynamic?

A class act, just like you! You enjoy getting caught in the excitement of the hubbub and hoi polloi, and you will find it on the Brooklyn Bridge. Opened in 1883, this architectural marvel is photography central, with its cathedral arches juxtaposed against industrial, web-like cables. From Financial District, Manhattan to Dumbo, Brooklyn, this bridge connects two of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the city, both teeming with history. Overcrowded? Almost always. Overrated? Almost never. Who wouldn't want to gather around you when you're so freaking awesome? Though, someone may end up getting jabbed in the ribs by an elbow or a bicycle handlebar. Whoops! Keep shining, superstar!

If you got this 1909 East River marvel, here's what we know: You're pragmatic. You're sensible. You saw the rabble over at the Brooklyn Bridge and said, "Pshaw! What fools!" You've seen the Manhattan skyline and flashing lights a million times, whether in person or in photos, and don't feel the need to slow down to take it all in on this go around because you've got places to be, baby! As the bridge is adorned with chain link fencing, bouncing between Chinatown and Dumbo, I'd wager you've got a sensible style that works for you, and you're not looking to mess with the efficiency of your system. With a separate bike lane that doesn't compete with pedestrian space, you're free to fly at your own pace with nothing to slow you down (except maybe construction).

Manhattan Bridge

Hey cool new friend! Just like this 1903 edifice of suspense, you have a distinct flair that catches people off guard again and again. Just when they think you'll zig, ya zag. Spanning from Williamsburg Brooklyn, to Lower East Side, Manhattan, you're a trendsetter who's hungry for another bite of life. Based on the amount of graffiti on the Bridge, I'd wager you're adorned with tattoos of your own, or at least have a signature accessory. You love beautiful things, but not necessarily in a materialistic way. You see how the other half lives, but you love chasing what's natural and wholesome to your soul. Dream on, dreamer.

Brooklyn what? Brooklyn who? Who cares? If you got this 1909 cantilever truss sensation of the East River, I know three things about you: you're tough as nails, you know what you want in life, and you know what others should do with their lives, as well. Linking Long Island City, Queens to Upper East Side, Manhattan, some people might find you uppity, but little do they know that you're a bargain hunter with a knack for frugality. Much like the Queensboro Bridge, you might have fallen into disrepair and dysfunction at some point in your life, but you have spared no effort to rebuild your life with a new vision of clarity and conviction. Your newfound fortitude doesn't need the affirmation of others — you know what works for you, and that's what you strive for!

"You can WALK across George Washington Bridge???" You can! But of course you knew this, because while others walk where the people are, you're ok walking alongside cars with just your thoughts. Connecting Hudson Heights, Manhattan to Fort Lee, New Jersey, George Washington Bridge is your best route to enjoy a good Dominican meal in Little DR, then escape to the Garden State. Maybe you're not as amused by the hustle and bustle as others, and you prefer the refuge and solace of the suburbs. No worries! You're pretty much guaranteed to be one of a few enjoying serene views of the Hudson River from your own perch in Northern Manhattan.

You're so off the grid doing your own thing, you ain't even in Manhattan, baby! If you got this 1954 steel fortress of commuter paradise, you're a hometown hero that doesn't buy into the hype of all the empty, flashy things of life. Linking Long Island City, Queens to Greenpoint, Brooklyn, you support the locals, and you're ready to fight for the little guy. You have a "live and let live" quality that people trust and find comfort in. Everyone else seems to get their kicks by going as far from home as possible, but you know that everything you need isn't that far at all, and there's something special in standing by your community.

If you're getting the shortest bridge on this quiz that spans from the Yankees Stadium in the Bronx to northern Harlem, here's what we know about you: Upon first meeting, people may not think much of you or that there's much to your personality (stay with me now), but they learn soon enough that you are a person of great substance and you are something special that they weren't expecting. You are a powerhouse of strength and reliability, and people know they can come to you in times of need. You may come off as a bit of a meathead or a grump, but hey! You like what you like, you're not everyone's cup of tea, and you're not trying to be. Once people get to know you, you may not be universally liked, but you're universally respected; the people who matter love you as you are, and that's pretty Dam cool.
