From Manhattan, you can get to the bridge
across the street from City Hall Park. It's quite a walk from end to end. It's just as
satisfying to go to the middle of the bridge and then walk back. That way, you've truly
walked the length of the bridge.
If you are a
trooper and want to head to Brooklyn, visit the beautiful section of Brooklyn Heights
which is located just south of the bridge.
Both
bicycles and pedestrians are free to use the wooden walkway which is elevated over the
traffic. You'll find a great cross section of people coming and going on this bridge...
...it's by no means just for tourists!!!
Looking north from the
bridge, we can see midtown in the distance. The Empire State Building is about 2 miles
away.
To the
south, Pier 17 and the South Street Seaport lie just below at the base of lower
Manhattan's financial district.
Although this
photo was taken before the destruction of the World Trade Center, the pattern of
the steel cables can produce some dramatic photographs.
To get to the bridge, take the 4,5 or 6 subway to the Brooklyn
Bridge/City Hall Station, the N or R
subway to City Hall or the 2 or 3
subway to Park Place.

The Brooklyn Bridge has also been a famous sales tool. You've heard the
expression, "Have I got a bridge to sell you." It
all got started right here when a grifter conned someone into believing the bridge could
be sold and the legend began.
