2 Stop 2 of 12 on The Bloody Angle and the Golden Buddha

The Manhattan Bridge Arch & the Golden Buddha

Chinatown, New York City

A Preview

"Look up at this thing. A stone triumphal arch, seventy feet of it, with two curved rows of columns sweeping out on either side like the entrance to an empire. This is the front door of the Manhattan Bridge, and it is trying very hard to be Europe. The firm that built it, Carrère and Hastings, also built the main New York Public Library — the one with the lions."
