And the aforementioned Ft Pitt tunnel in Pittsburgh

I remember being blown away coming out of that tunnel in Pittsburgh years ago when I went up for a friend's wedding.

Here's a decent one in Boston. On 93 North approaching downtown Boston from the south, you start with a view of the Pru and Hancock Tower. Then you go around this bend and get hit with downtown. And the more you drive, the better it gets. (Start at 19:10.)

Coming out the other end of the tunnel and onto the Bunker Hill bridge is pretty nice too. (23:40) Side note: the bridge was designed to resemble the Bunker Hill Monument, which is just to the right when you're driving.
