Anyone that isnt familiar with the belt parkway, this is the NY equivalent to the Autobahn. From 11:09 to 22:24 is where a lot of Viral NYC racing videos occur. Stay off this MF road from 10PM to 4AM if you are a new driver lol
@@javianjohnson8746 Of course, a lot of other times the opposite is true. No one is racing, or even moving a lot; you just hope you came to a halt in a place with a nice view.
The Belt Parkway was one of the Parkways designed by Robert Moses. If you noticed, no commercial trucks are allowed on the parkway. As a child, I remember my grandmother taking this road on the way to visiting her parents in Staten Island. I was in awe when we took The Verrazano Narrows Bridge.
The brought back memories. I drove car service out of Brooklyn when I was 19. I also played in a band that used to play at the Hunting Town House back then, so spent lots of time driving on the belt.
When I lived in Brooklyn I don't remember the Belt or other highways being so free moving. Mike, you must time your trip for the least amount of traffic. BTW since you use subtitles can you add major intersections and POI? Thanks I really enjoy driving with you.
I live in Western Suffolk County and my ex-girlfriend lives in the Gravesend section of Brooklyn. I drove on the Belt many times to see her between 2009-2014 when they were doing a massive amount of work on some of the bridges/overpasses. The difference from your drive is that I would just continue on to the Belt from Southern State, not enter from Cross Island.
Cool sometimes insane highway. Just got my license and now I have to drive to my partner’s house on the complete opposite end of the parkway, wish me luck😂
Oh boy you poor soul. I remember the Belt PARK way very well. I maybe in Ohio, but Jesus I don't wish that road or the Jackie Robinson on my worst enemy. Cool video's and thank you for reminding me why I left NYC. Thumbs up to you Mike.
I don't know why there has been a lot of car crash and a lot of deaths on belt parkway it scares me to even drive thru there ever looks like bad luck highway
I cannot stand this Parkway anymore. Out of date construction, too crowded, feels like a death raceway, no shoulders, the intersection of Belt and Van Wyck are not direct you have to go on service roads. Does have its quaint spots. The last exit before you got on BQE goes through a park, the lone center gas station, couple of scenic parking areas on the eastbound direction, the riding academy only accessed eastbound.
Old, outdated and neglected infrastructure in the USA. The roadways are all cracked, guard rails mostly all bent and rusted...grass growing out of the concrete. USA needs to spend TRILLIONS and upgrading and rebuilding its outdated infrastructure.

Thats actually a perfect way to describe it lmao, so damn accurate. When I'm in this area I see a lot of that type of driving lol

The Belt Pkwy is probably my favorite NY Parkway.
@Jim Allen The water solves a lot of the problems for me on this one.
Got to love that sign as you get off Verrazano bridge heading east on the Belt,
“Welcome to Brooklyn
How sweet it is”.
Hello fellow travelers, 👋greetings from Argentina.❤ I love these videos, I hope you have a beautiful week and a huge hug from a distance.😊👍

The Belt Parkway is always an...adventure lol
The backup around 8:10 seems to be a rubbernecking scenario

23:10 Big Long Bridge Does It Connect To Staten Island In NY OR Elsewhere For Those Who Live In The NY Area
That’s the Verrazzano Narrows bridge, which connects Brooklyn to Staten Island
Oh boy you poor soul. I remember the Belt PARK way very well. I maybe in Ohio, but Jesus I don't wish that road or the Jackie Robinson on my worst enemy. Cool video's and thank you for reminding me why I left NYC. Thumbs up to you Mike.
