I read that walking across the Brooklyn Bridge was one of the things you had to do in NYC. I found it way too crowded and did not enjoy it. Yes, good views once you got out away but too crowded to enjoy. Give me the beaches and mountains in Maine! More

On a recent trip to NYC, we took the underground down to Brooklyn Bridge on a very sunny early saturday morning and walked over & then back again. The views from the bridge are amazing, just make sure you do not stray into the cycle lane when viewing as they are not keen to stop for you! Also the view... More

The Brooklyn Bridge has a foot path and is well protected from the traffic so you can stop and take in the marvelous view of New York city. It was within walking distance from the Best Western Plus Seaport Inn. More

The view from the pier looking back at Manhattan and the bridge just can't be beat. I... More
