The East River flows through all five boroughs and serves as the unofficial heart of New York City. It separates Queens from the Bronx on the northern end, and divides Manhattan from Brooklyn and Queens. The Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan Bridge, and 59th Street Bridge were built to connect the boroughs, and residents of New York's East Side can enjoy stunning waterfront vistas.
