as i recall you go on 178th street and follow a sign that takes you to a cement spiral staircase or walkway over Riverside Drive as you are climbing up toward the bridge walkway

the view over Riverside Drive did it and there was no way i would be able to deal with the height from the bridge walkway

Sounds about right. I made it about halfway over the GWB before turning around. The height was bugging me a little too.

While I was up there I did the Brooklyn, Manhattan, Williamsburg, and Queensborough and which ever one connects Long Island City to Greenpoint.

The Brooklyn Bridge is cool but I like the Williamsburg and Manhattan with the train running on them.

All six major Manhattan bridges + Pulaski. The GW and Williamsburg are my favorite. GW is a hidden gem (as far as walking across of course, obviously it's the most used for cars) as it is really pretty up there.

Brooklyn Bridge
59th street (blackout, transit strike)
City Island (very short, but nice views)
