How close does the game get to the real place?

In the game

Algonquin Bridge is a steel suspension bridge that links Algonquin and Broker, passes over Colony Island and gives the BOABO neighbourhood its name.

The real place

The Manhattan Bridge opened in 1909 and carries cars and subway trains between Manhattan's Chinatown and Downtown Brooklyn. The game keeps its steel towers but moves it so that it crosses the Roosevelt Island stand-in.

Visiting

There is a walkway on the south side and a cycle path on the north side. The classic photo is from Washington Street in DUMBO, looking up at the bridge.
