I walked over that old bridge! (When I last _left the Bronx_, after
attending a certain Burstein-related shindig.)
After looking at a NYC map, I now realize I mistook WILLIS for
BROADWAY. Sorry about that! (Who knew there were so many ways to
escape the Bronx? :-))
Actually, the Broadway Bridge, which crosses over
the Harlem Ship Canal and looks like it connects
Manhattan to da Bronecks, is actually still in
Manhattan on both ends.
Go a'googlin for "Marble Hill".

BTW, that British "cooking gas from human waste" story today was not
that far beyond what's happening right now in New York City.
According to an "Underground New York" series I saw, far below the
streets are digesters producing methane, which is then burned to help
run the sewage system!
Kind of. The sewage treatment plants produce oodles and oodles
of methane. They burn it to help generate electricity
and make heat to... operate the plant.
The short answer is that if you're already accumulating,
umm, shit, for some reason or another, then it's often
worth hooking it up to a generator or furnace.
It isn't worth doing from scratch.
