    FDR Drive is a major freeway-standard parkway on the east side of the New York City borough of Manhattan. It runs along the East River from the Battery Park Underpass under Battery Park (north of which it is the South Street Viaduct for a bit) north to the Triborough Bridge (where it becomes Harlem River Drive).

    It was originally named East River Drive, and was renamed after Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Its New York State Reference Route is 907L. It is referred to by locals as simply "The FDR". In the 1980s, chunks of the elevated road falling to the ground led to the joke that "FDR" stood for "Falling Down Roadway".
