Take A Roosevelt Island Tram Ride At Night With Miles Davis And Charlie Parker - You Won't Regret It

You Tube Video of Woody Allen"s Opening Scene From Manhattan

Do you remember the fantastic New York montage opening scene from Woody Allen's Manhattan with the George Gershwin score?

Well, it's not a movie, only a You Tube Video, but this Nighttime view from the Roosevelt Island Tram with a Miles Davis and Charlie Parker score is pretty terrific too.

I do miss that ride.

During the March 17 RIOC Board Operations Committee meeting, RIOC President Steve Shane reported that so far everything is on schedule for a return of the Tram by late August early September.

I'll Take Manhattan - From Roosevelt Island

The Weblicist of Manhattan, who provides virtual photo tours of much of New York City, has shot these incredibly beautiful images of the New York City Skyline from Roosevelt Island. The photos remind me of the opening montage (link to Truveo video - try to catch picture of Roosevelt Island Tram in montage) of Woody Allen's film Manhattan and the wonderful Gershwin music. This time the Weblicist's Skyline is in color.

Today's Roosevelt Island Weekend Waterfront video (it meets my criteria because there are images of the Thames River) imagines if Woody Allen were born in London.

Also, here is You Tube link to Edinhattan, a tribute to Edinburgh, Scotland and homage to Woody Allen's Manhattan though some don't like the movie.
