The Narrows
The Narrows
is the
tidal strait
separating the
boroughs
of
Staten Island
and
Brooklyn
in
New York City
. It connects the
Upper New York Bay
and
Lower New York Bay
and forms the principal channel by which the
Hudson River
empties into the
Atlantic Ocean
. It has long been considered to be the maritime "gateway" to New York City and historically has been one of the most important entrances into the
harbors
of the
Port of New York and New Jersey
.
