Location of pedestrian walkway over the Hudson, NYC? -

Hello,Can someone please tell me the location of this gorgeous walkway over the Hudson River in NYC?I saw this in the following Bollywood (Indian) movie. See link below. The song is called Hey Shona Hey . The scene starts at the 2:43 mark. I also would like to know the part where the couple stands on the little hilltop with all the American flags at the 3:02 mark.And if possible the streets at the 4:04, 4:16 mark. I just love the way NYC was picturzed in this music video.They look like great photo opps as I love to take pictures near famous land marks. Thanks and have a great day.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6HhLgA6yLA

The clip that starts at 2:43 is the southern end of Liberty State Park, which is located in Jersey City, NJ. This nowhere near the Hudson River. This section of the park is located in New York Harbor.The link below is a map of the park s southern end.http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Liberty+St��The clip at the 4:04 mark, which the the part with the horse drawn carriage, is Central Park West and 77th Street. The white stone building in the background is the New York Historical Society, which is a museum dedicated to the history of the City of New York. The American Museum of Natural History is located a short distance away at 81st Street and Central Park West.The link below show the location of the area in the video.http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q source=s��The third clip, which is at the 4:16 mark, was filmed in Central Park near 59th Street. This is the southern end of the park.In addition, the clip that is at 4:10, was filmed at 6th Avenue and West 55th Street. There is an art sculpture called LOVE , which is located in front of 1550 6th Avenue.The link below show location of the building and art installation.http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q source=s��Photo http://static.panoramio.com/photos/origi��The LOVE sculpture was designed by Robert Indiana in 1964 and has been at this location since 1966.I hope this information is very helpful.Good luckNative New Yorker

There is no walkway across the Hudson. (Someone mentioned the George Washington Bridge. Well, yes, there is a pedestrian walkway on that Bridge, but the footage in this clip ain t that!)The picture is an optical illusion. It is shot on a pier that sticks out into the water. This pier is a stretch of Hudson River Park, a greenway that hugs the Hudson River.

Well, that gorgeous walkway doesn t go over the Hudson River, it goes alongside it in Liberty State Park, which is in New Jersey, as a matter of fact.Follow the link below to see a map of the park and the walkway is the part along the water s edge there, and the Statue Of Liberty stands on the little island right nearby labelled Liberty Island and the part with all the American flags is in that park, too...

The bridge in the video is not in New York City. That s Jersey City, New Jersey; Liberty State Park on the other side of the harbor from the city. that s also not across the hudson. the hudson has already ended at that point, emptying into Upper New York Bay. the bridge crosses a cove to what was once Black Tom s Island.
