Brooklyn Bridge
Gothic stone towers and a web of suspension cables frame the walk between Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn.
Cross the raised promenade, then head to Pier 1 in Brooklyn Bridge Park for the whole span against Manhattan. Near the Brooklyn tower, look back through the cables toward the skyline. The upper walkway is pedestrians only; cyclists use the protected roadway lane. Step aside for photos, especially where cables narrow the path, and expect occasional maintenance restrictions.
