I really, REALLY wanted to get THE iconic shot of the Manhattan Bridge with the cobblestones on Washington St, but I ran into a couple taking their wedding photos there when I got to the street and it was just IMPOSSIBLE to get the shot I wanted. Instead, I just raised the lens a bit more to capture this picture.
This article from the Brownstoner shows some great shots, especially the one of the lone Manhattan Bridge tower during its construction in 1909.
