Crossing the beautiful Brooklyn Bridge is something I’ve always wanted to do and was finally able to do so. Read the history of the bridge before you go and you’ll see many things that others miss. Choose a sunny day with low winds or go during sunset or nighttime. Definitely walk the bridge from the Brooklyn side toward Manhattan for... more

Do it. You know you want to. You know you've dreamed of it. Take a stroll down the wooden walkway on the country's most famous bridge (other than London Bridge, which, why is that in this country again?). It's free, it's pleasant, it gives great views of the city. Ultimately, it is what it is - a walk on a... more

I really can't overstate how lovely it was to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge today. On a clear, sunny day, the views are outstanding. Even though there's little shade, a constant breeze off the water keeps things comfortable over the long walk. The bridge has both pedestrian and bicycle lanes, so you can pick your preferred mode of transport. Bring... more

We got the idea from Fodor's Guide, and it was a great one. We were lucky to hit amazing spring-like weather in NYC from July 6-8,2009. We stayed at the amazing Wyndham Garden, and on our second day we took the subway to a restaurant in Brooklyn called the Five Point Bistro. Great food served in a bamboo garden. We... more

A nice walk with a great view. The skyline is an excellent opportunity for great pictures. It is hot depending on what time of day you decide to go. If you get the chance definitely go!! more

This is my favorite activity when I have someone visiting me in New York (assuming it's a nice day). City-skyline views are incredible; it's a lovely walk; DUMBO, Brooklyn Heights, and the promenade are great places to wander once you reach Brooklyn. The walk gives me vertigo like nothing else in the world, but it's still my favorite tourist activity... more

Our family of five walked the bridge this week. It was a great experience to see this historically important engineering marvel up-close and to see the great views of Manhattan, Brooklyn and the harbor. I thought we would be nuts alone on the bridge walkway but I was surprised at the large number of pedestrians and cyclists enjoying the bridge.... more

Visit City Hall Park with its gas- lit fountain and then stroll over the Brooklyn Bridge. It's a little more than a mile from Manhattan to Brooklyn over the bridge, but it feels shorter because of the fantastic views. This is an engineering marvel, built in the late 1800's of huge granite blocks, high over the Hudson River, with a... more

We took the subway from Manhatten to Brookly for $2. Then walked back over the bridge.Everything they say about the experience is true. You see the most amazing views of Manhatten, of the Empire State Building, of the Statue of Liberty. It gets a bit breezy, but that's half the fun. It took us 25 minutes to walk from one... more
