Like the Eiffel Tower

In the morning, if my car is on 109th Street, I turn right on Broadway and drive north to 125th, where the subway comes up from the ground because there's an earthquake fault line that runs below Manhattan.  The elevated tracks remind me of the Eiffel Tower's massive steel lace.  Cars wait to turn left, past the BP station where Sikhs fill your car with gas, to a right on 12th Avenue past the Fairway and Dinosaur Barbeque, a left on 133rd Street past the Hudson River Cafe, and another right onto the Henry Hudson Parkway which travels along side the Hudson River, past the George Washington Bridge, across the Harlem River to Riverdale, up to the Sawmill River Parkway which begins in Yonkers.
