Brooklyn Bridge, New York City

Hey, she's been standing proud since May, 1883, so the bridge speaks for itself! We walked across this bridge for the first time and had a magnificent view of the East River, the New York harbor and the Manhattan skyline. What makes the walk so nice is that there is a raised pedestrian walkway totally void of cars and other vehicles so one can walk peacefully without having to worry with traffic. There was a nice crowd that day; it was a splendid, sunny spring day and the visibility was great. There were lots of artists and vendors that added a bit of spice to the whole experience. I had been wanting to cross the Brooklyn Bridge all my life so we finally got the opportunity and it was nice!

This very long Bridge is such a special extra for your trip in New York. Just walking over it, seeing a lot of people who are taking pictures and stuff. It is really fun just to sit in the sun and see the view from this bridge, the bridge is having a lot of great view spots, so you can see the one world trade center. It is just a great thing, just walking to Brooklyn get some Shake Shack and walk back!
