Take a stroll across the bridge and a ferry back or subway over and walk back. The views of lower Manhattan from here are spectacular and the two bridges, Brooklyn and Manhattan, frame the view. Plenty of little cafes and eateries with some well maintained green spaces to sit and soak in the view. We liked it so much we... More

Through the years, I've walked along the Promenade more than ten times both with my family and with all our friends visiting New York. This place is amazing, especially at sundown when Manhattan skyscrapers light up. You cannot get tired of the view. I believe, it a must see for all tourists ( and New Yorkers)

Fabulous views and a great place for a walk / run - be warned, right now (June '13) there is a lot of development work going on to make the 'green park piers' look amazing for the future.

Not far, nice short walk. You can also see gorgeous houses and balconies, gardens. Then you can walk to the commercial area for some food and shopping.

Take subway to Brooklyn and walk back to Manhattan through Brooklyn Heights, especially during Sunset. Beautiful area, take a walk down the nice park and go right up Brooklyn Bridge to Manhattan. Long walk but it is worth it.

This walk is great any time of day.In the morning you get a quiet walk with fewer people than the afternoon or sunset. During the day it is nice to sit with your lunch and a good book, or just relax. Sometimes people sit on the benches and talk on the phone and smoke as if they were in their... More

Gracious and magnificent.....a lovely place to stroll along the East River across from lower Manhattan. Heading north, you land in the new Brooklyn Bridge park....still being developed with multiple choices of family activities.
