Manhattan Riddles I stand in the waters between New York and New Jersey I was a gift from France to the United States but I lift my torch for all people I wear a crown on my head and sandals on my feet Who am I 4
I stretch all the way from Brooklyn to Manhattan Thousands of people cross my ribbons of steel every day Who am I I climb 1,250 feet into the sky At night colored lights in my towers celebrate the seasons I am one of the most famous buildings in New York City Who am I 5
I rumble through dark underground tunnels bringing people from one end of the Who am I city to the other I travel quickly screeching loudly and swaying from side to side Hold on tight I give a bumpy ride I offer a royal view of the paths ponds and gardens that surround me I am also a weather station and an observatory for young naturalists Who am I 6
All day long busy people scurry up and down my marble stairs They wait for loved ones beside my famous four-sided brass clock or marvel at the stars in my great domed ceiling Who am I The Subway Belvedere Castle Central Park Grand Central Terminal Answers Statue of Liberty Brooklyn Bridge Empire State Building 7
