As for EWR, apparently there is a VFR departure which involves flying up the East River at a very low altitude.
How low?....................
My two favorite airline departures are leaving Jackson Hole, Wyoming and Newark, NJ.
Jackson Hole has a special departure which can only be described as a reverse corkscrew from the surface to about 20’000 feet, all within a five mile radius of the airport. I’d swear that the pilot of the American Airlines MD-80 had the plane flying straight up until cruising altitude. He came on the PA system afterwards and told us how lucky we were to live in such beautiful country.
As for EWR, apparently there is a VFR departure which involves flying up the East River at a very low altitude. We were on a nighttime flight to Providence many years ago, and it was spectacular to look UP at the skyscrapers as we headed home.

Many flights leaving Kabul do a corkscrew because of the mountains all around.
