The bridge is architecturally breath-taking and the view of Manhattan's bright lights and roaring skyscrapers are the perfect amount of glamour and gorgeousness. What's a better girls night idea or a more romantic date than to walk the Brooklyn Bridge and then grab a bite at Grimaldi's? Nothing. It's cliche. It's perfect. End of story. read more

If you live in the New York Metro area you most likely have seen this beautiful commercial featuring the Brooklyn Bridge. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ye89J8hE4vI Initially, Brooklyn Bridge was known as 'New York and Brooklyn Bridge'. It was given its present name by the city government, in 1915. In 1964, Brooklyn Bridge was designated a National Historic Landmark. The construction work on Brooklyn Bridge started on January 3, 1870 and took as many as 13 years to be complete. Brooklyn Bridge was opened for use on May 24, 1883. On that day, 1,800 vehicles and 150,300 people crossed the bridge. At the time of its construction, Brooklyn Bridge was the only land passage between Manhattan and Brooklyn. The main span of Brooklyn Bridge, over the East River, is 1,595 feet 6 inches (486.3 m). The cost of construction of Brooklyn Bridge came to somewhere around $15.5 million. Brooklyn Bridge was designed by John Augustus Roebling, a German-born person. It is said that during the construction of Brooklyn Bridge, as many as 27 people died, including John Roebling. Since 1980s, Brooklyn Bridge is being floodlit at night, mainly to emphasize its architectural features. The towers of Brooklyn Bridge are built of limestone, granite and Rosendale cement, while their architectural style is Gothic. Presently, Brooklyn Bridge has six lanes for motor vehicles and a separate walkway, along the center line, for pedestrians and bicycles. The height (11 feet) and weight (6,000 lb) of Brooklyn Bridge has made it necessary to put restrictions on its use by commercial vehicles and buses. Elevated trains and streetcars were allowed on Brooklyn Bridge until 1944 and 1950, respectively. Thereafter, their entry was banned. On March 24, 1983 Brooklyn Bridge was designated a National Historic Engineering Landmark. On May 19, 1885, Robert E. Odlum became the first person to jump from the Brooklyn Bridge. Brooklyn Bridge is one of the most popular as well as the most known landmarks in New York. This bridge is featured in many films such as "I Am Legend", "Deep Impact", "Godzilla" and "Enchanted". On May 30, 1883, a rumor that the bridge was collapsing spread through the crowds on it, causing a stampede. At least 12 people were killed in the ensuing panic. Nearly a year later, famous circus showman P. T. Barnum helped debunk doubts about the bridge's stability when he and "Jumbo" led a parade of 21 elephants across it. The original toll for crossing the bridge was one penny. The City seems to be divided between pedestrians and those who ride bikes. http://gothamist.com/2011/09/20/city_gets_into_the_bikes_vs_pedestr.php Real New Yorkers can ride really smooth and not run into people. It is the transplants who think they are back in (any M state) and they do not watch where they are going and kind of ruin the walking experience for others. The Brooklyn Bridge seems more pedestrian friendly than other bridges in NYC in terms of those on bikes who terrorize pedestrians. read more

I walked the Bridge today for the very first time.......I have been to NY many, many times throughout the years and have never wanted to walk the Bridge. After a morning break in one of meetings, I had a couple of hrs to burn so I decided to walk the Bridge to see what all the fuss was about. After taking a few steps on the Bridge, I was in awe..........the beautiful views of the NY skyline just struck me as an incredible vision. The magestic beauty and power of the Bridge is very inspiring...it makes U think of Frank Sinata singing: 'New York, New York." The 45 minutes it took for me to walk to Brooklyn and back was an amazing, mind cleansing detour from life's daily chores. If U come to NY or if you live in NY and have never walked the Bridge....U must do so! read more

Brooklyn Bridge is one of those places that you just have to visit when you visit New York. Its structure is absolutely amazing and has some of the best views of the city (and, if you squint really hard, you can see the Statue of Liberty from the bridge too). I've visited the bridge multiple times, but I never can get enough pictures of it! The one thing that I really dislike about this place, though, is that it's always full of people. Nothing you can do about that though--it's just that type of place that people are constantly visiting. Highly recommend visiting at least once, but ideally more than that. read more

A must-do when you visit NY: breathtaking views of Brooklyn and NYC, and it's a good way to burn off all the food that you've been eating. Best of all, it's FREE! Woohoo! It can get crowded with both pedestrians and bikers, so follow the rules and stay in the lane marked for pedestrians. read more

There is something magical when you walk over the Brooklyn Bridge...A New York City iconic part of the skyline, and a National historic landmark...completed in 1883, its the longest suspension bridge in the whole world and connects NYC to Brooklyn.... A walk of great pleasure...the gentle wind ...great sights and breathtaking views... was just pure and serene....The Brooklyn Bridge is beautiful and elegant...and was one of the very first thing that I had to experience when I first migrated here some three decades ago.... Together with friends on a Saturday afternoon after all having a light lunch meeting at a restaurant near Brooklyn Bridge station, we all walked the walked, leisurely of course, stopping to get the best shots we can have, the spectacular views..watching the tourist and romantic pairs, lovers, joggers and bicyclist pass us by...and enjoyed every minute of it. A walk over the bridge is not complete without having the famous pizza on the other end..Griimaldi's, an institution in the world of pizza since 1905, they are best known for their coal fire brick oven cooking....ended up,ordering the Large Pizza w/ extra Mushrooms, Basil, Anchovies, Black Olives w/ Chardonnay... Hmm...very good... On our way back the sun begun to set...another glorious shot of Manhattan at dusk....A walk to remember... Two weeks ago my favorite niece, Rachel came to visit....took her out and included the walk in our agenda ...it was also at dusk..had some good shots of the city, the Manhattan bridge. and all the sights around us...a feeling of nostalgia sets in...the walk brought my mind back some decades earlier.. memories of my friends overcome me...one passed away, the other, a successful Forensic Pathologist lives in California and we still get in touch and the other one got lost in transit...and I am now a mother of 3 and a grandmother of 4...How time flies,,, Rachel & I didn't end up at Grimaldi's as I planned ..another niece took her out there a day earlier ...so we took one stop to Chinatown, to a Shanghai restaurant and enjoyed Soup dumplings at its best..., and Seafood noodles for dinner....still a good climax for a day full of adventure of different places, settings and cuisine...Only in New York... read more

My favorite Bridge in the WORLD!!! It leads me home, where my heart is BROOOOOOOOOKLYN!!! The most spectacular veiws of the greatest city on earth. Aesthetically just a beautiful bridge.

Brooklyn Bridge - My Home!!! - Landmarks & Historical Buildings Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The traffic kinda sucks. But it looks pretty cool. It was really revolutionary when it was built. People died, so who am I not to provide a 5star review. The Roebling family dedicated their lives to this bridge. Fantastic. read more

The Brooklyn Bridge provides some of the most breathtaking views on NYC. I have been a little upset with the recent construction of the bridge not allowing me to enjoy the scenic walk, but then I forgive it once I hit the middle platform have an Instagram photo shoot. A few tips for all the tourist that come to enjoy this universal NYC favorite: 1) Please stay out of the bike lane. If you must walk in the bike lane, be considerate and move to the side when you see a biker coming. And please do not act like your day was ruined because they yelled at you to move out of their way. It was not the end of the world, and they were yelling at you for your own safety. I know the bridge is beautiful and you are most likely staring at the sky, but be aware of your surroundings. 2) Please do not let me catch you ordering a $5 hot dog from the food cart at on the Manhattan side of the bridge. If you need a hot dog that bad go to Rudy's in Hells Kitchen- order a beer and get a street style hot dog for free. Or better yet, walk to the other side of the bridge at get some food in DUMBO. It is beautiful over there. If it is warm out walk to the Seaport after and go to the beer garden. 3) Please do not buy crappy key-chains at $10 a piece for your friends at home on the bridge. Go to K-Mart in Astor Place, I am sure they have something that says I heart NY on it. Please enjoy your walk over the bridge. If you are someone who is uneasy about heights or standing over traffic and a river then this will not be your thing, and please do not attempt. You will end up killing your partner's hand while squeezing it in fear, and most likely ruin the experience because you are too afraid to walk the whole bridge. (I know this from experience, thus I do not walk with this person anymore.) I usually take the 4 train down to Bowling Green, say hello to Lady Liberty, walk to the Brooklyn Bridge, and then walk over to LES for some brunch on a Sunday. Great for first dates, or laid back Sundays! read more

This is a great stop for those who are willing to do some walking and if the weather is nice. Easily accessible from the Manhattan Subway (City Hall/Brooklyn Bridge stop), you start the walk on the bridge right outside the station. Pedestrian and bicycle friendly, although those can be at odds. There are clearly marked sides (north is for bicyclists, south is for pedestrians) however, for instance, on the Manhattan side, vendors (selling the usual NY wares) clog up the pedestrian side so walkers have to ease into the bicyclist lanes and bicyclists ring their bells in frustration. Would be better if they cleared the vendors, there's nothing that unique about them (however tourists, like moths to flames) seem to want to see them, thus clogging further). Great views of both cities (NYC and Brooklyn) throughout, people stopping to take pictures all along the way. And it's free, a great way to spend an hour or two without hurting the wallet. There is also some construction (fall 2013) that take away from the views. Recommend this stop if you want some exercise and the views (and the weather cooperates). Renting a bike seems like a good way to do it, too. read more

Definitely one for the NYC 'must visit' list. You really get a sense of how colossal and densely packed New York is from the elevated walkway. If you can avoid bumping into other tourists with their selfie sticks stopping in front of you with no warning, and the cyclists tearing down their side of the divide, you're in for one of the most impressive mile-long walks there is. It was lovely to see the hundreds of padlocks that had been fastened on to the railings by love-struck couples copying the European 'love-lock' fad - slightly less lovely seeing them being systematically cut off by the maintenance crews... My tip would be to get here early morning as it gets ridiculously busy closer to lunchtime. Busy with slooooow walkers. read more

Lucky enough to see the rainbow on a rainy day underneath the umberlla with the LO. Quite a long walk across the bridge. read more

First, I will say I am quite surprised to find the Brooklyn Bridge as a place to be reviewed. I mean...it's not like you'll either go to it based on the reviews. Then again, I'm glad it's here so I can show my appreciation for this great landmark. I love how it's a great place to exercise without feeling like you are exercising. At the end of the walk (from Manhattan to Brooklyn,) one can find one of the best bagel shops. It's a great view of the city. Lastly, thanks to the cute and friendly runner who showed us a shortcut to our destination after our walk. read more

You can cross the Brooklyn bridge for free by foot, bicycle, or car, but walking is the best way to appreciate the history and views from this 100+ year old engineering marvel. (It was the first cable-stayed suspension bridge, a basic design that once proven here in NYC became the pattern for bridge-building worldwide for pretty much the whole 20th century.) Tip: If you've only got time or energy to walk one way, start from the Brooklyn side and you'll get great views of lower Manhattan the whole way. P.s. Isn't it great that you can Yelp a bridge? Yelp totally needs to add a category for "bridges" so we can search for the best ones. 'Cuz some days I'm just wandering around, thinking "Gee, what I really need is find a good bridge to go to." read more

This is definitely a spot to hit if you have not checked it off your bucket list. You do get an amazing view of the water, the high towers of Manhattan, and the high-rise buildings in Brooklyn as well. We came on a Saturday afternoon and it was definitely busy but I heard it was better to walk the bridge at sunset so you can see that and the city lights coming on from Manhattan. The bridge has multiple spots where it allows you to take photos of the bridge itself, Manhattan, Brooklyn, or just the body of water itself. It is loud on the bridge though because you are on top of all the traffic where cars and trunks are speeding through. There are 2 big pillars where sometimes people have a stand to sell art, food, or drinks. That was nice to have access to hot chocolate since we came during the winter. The bridge itself took us about 40 mins to walk at a leisure paste and it is nice because you end up in Dumbo right afterwards where there are lots of eats. If you don't want to walk back across the bridge, you can just hop on the Ferry for $2.75 to go back to Pier 11 or wherever you needed to go. read more

My landmark New York memories. And for sure a vision many NYer's love. Great to be NYer read more

B ike lane is great, even if the masses of tourists are constantly invading it. R unning this bridge is so satisfying but can be a bit congested. O h how I love recognizing you in all movies about New York and shouting thats my bridge! I love you baby! O h man its hot, why did I forget to put on sunscreen, or bring a water bottle!? Eeeep! K illing time on a lazy Sunday never felt so good as hanging out in the middle watching the boats glide past. L overs pledge their devotion to one another by forever attaching locks to the base of the noble pillars Y ears go by and yet I am still just as equally in awe of this inspiring historic bridge. N eed to know info on how to do the bridge: First timers only, see below: Manhattan to Brooklyn Approach ( from City Hall / Brooklyn Bridge Stop off the 4/5/6 train.) They make it easy for you to get here people, the subway stop even bears the name of where you are trying to go! Step 1 : Become ensnared in a street performance. Step 2 : Decipher the chaotic crosswalks and on/off ramps and arrive at safe ground/plank, seriously just follow the masses. [1] Step 3 : Walk to the right side, left side you will potentially lose an appendage to a marathon bicyclist. Also dont be that jerk. However it is acceptable to use this land as a passing lane, to get around old couples, families with children and confused tourists. Step 4 : Do not get discouraged. For some reason the walk to the first pillar seems like it takes three times as long as any other part of the bridge, its also where 99% of the pedestrian bottlenecking occurs. So keep your cool and know that its always less hot over the water, than over the city. Step 5: Enjoy the bridge!!!!!! Step 6: Leaving the bridge you can choose two paths, off to the left you will go down a set of stairs to DUMBO, the Brooklyn Bridge Park and Empire Fulton Ferry State Park. [2] Other option stick right and go straight for a while takes you towards Brooklyn Heights and Borough Hall. Step 7: Become a true New Yorker! Live it, love it, own it. ---- [1] If there are no masses you are at the wrong place, there are always masess gosh darn it! [2] I recommend this choice. read more

What would a visit be to NYC without a walk over our historical/gorgeous Brooklyn Bridge?????..... I've been walking over it my entire life...and each time it gets better... It's still very rickety...and kinda makes me nervous...especially when bikers zoom by and I hear the wooden planks shaking....but hey...its an old bridge!!! ....Its gorgeous... you can't help but stop...look up...and stare at the arches...and the cables....the mere workmanship of it is awe striking.... thinking about all the men that lost their lives to build this bridge....and its still here for us to enjoy...is very humbling.... If you go on the weekend..it will be filled with tons of runners, cyclists, moms with strollers....tourists...older people walking....and people working out... ( I myself purchased 5 classes from the Brooklyn Bridge Bootcamp Workout people......) yeah...that's how much I love this bridge..... But my advice to you.....is to take a walk in the evening at dusk..... Have a seat on the benches....and watch the sun set..... Let the people keep walking by.... Listen to the hummmmm of the cars below... And just take in the sheer beauty of our city...and the magnificent structure you're sitting on..... if you walked over from Brooklyn - walk to Chinatown and have some dinner.....(that's what I always do!)..... If you walked from the city - walk to DUMBO.. have some Grimaldi's pizza...or ice cream from the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory.... or head left and walk up Flatbush Ave...for a piece of Juniors Cheesecake... these are things you should be doing while in NY....and even for us natives....its a treat....each and every time.... read more

This bridge is a beauty! Fun fact, people were afraid to cross the bridge when it was first built so the circus walked camels and elephants across to prove to others that the bridge was safe. If you want a fun walk with an opportunity for great pictures the Brooklyn Bridge can give it to you. The bridge is also perfect for people watching and don't forget to leave a lock on the bridge a great tradition for everyone in love. A few tips: 1.It is WAY to hot to do this in the middle of summer. Plus it is always packed that time of year as well. 2.Visit the parks on either side of the bridge. Both are beautiful and offer yummy treats close by. 3. Watch out for bikers, anyone with wheels under them really. They are fast and sometimes dumb, keep to the walk lane best you can. read more

This is one LONNNNG walk on a humid summer day, but I must say the view was breath-taking! I got to see the cityscape of New York when I was midway across the bridge, saw the cars drive by underneath me, and the other bridges nearby. Good photo op, but it's so busy here that it's hard to get a good photo because people are always in your photos =/ The people on the bike lane are usually residents and I can see that they get super angry with tourist who walk into the bike lane, so make sure you stay out of that lane because they will not be nice about it. Worth walking, but I was so tired and sweaty at the end that I opt-out of walking back to the city afterwards. read more

Whether you're a tourist or you've been a local New Yorker your whole life, the Brooklyn Bridge is definitely special. It doesn't matter who you are - you should walk this bridge at least once in your life to fully appreciate it. Even if you don't know the spectacular history of the bridge, it's a sight to see, and great for photo ops. The view is fantastic any time of the year (even in the rain), but to get the full blown range of awesome, get there in time for sunset. BROOKLYN BRIDGE FUN FACTS (impress your friends!): * The BB is a 6-lane suspension bridge, with stone masonry towers. * It took 13 years to build, from 1870 to 1883. * Between 20 and 30 people died during its construction due to unforeseen dangers and accidents. * At the time of its completion, it held the World Record Status for 1) being fifty percent longer than any suspension bridge, 2) the first use of pneumatic caissons, and 3) the first first steel cable suspension bridge. * Each anchorage tower weight 60,000 tons. * The official end-to-end length is 5,989 feet, or 1.13 miles.

Despite the current renovations going on, which I believe do ruin the beauty of this landmark, I LOVE IT. Every time I walk on this bridge to either Manhattan or Brooklyn, my jaw still drops in awe. My favorite time to walk is at sunset - the way the colors of the sky changes and the reflection of that on the skyscrapers...just beautiful. Sure, the tourists are annoying and the NY cyclists are mean. Just deal with it. Seriously, forget that and look around you. read more

The Brooklyn Bridge is an iconic part of NYC, we wouldn't know what to do without it. If you're from your New York City like I am, it's just a part of you. I have crossed this bridge 1000's of times by Car, train, and on foot, but in order to truly appreciate the Brooklyn Bridges' beauty I recommend you walk on it, this is the only way for you to actually experience the true beauty of the Brooklyn Bridge. The walk across the Brooklyn Bridge is long and beautiful, many people run through it or Bike on it as means of transportation and/or exercise, but I recommend that you walk through it slowly and enjoy the beautiful views, scenery and all that this wonderful bridge has to offer. Please be careful not to get hit by a Bicycle or a speeding "maniac" on a Bike, getting hit by a bicycle while walking on the bridge is common, the pedestrian path on the Bridge is narrow, it is divided by 2 lanes meant to be shared by pedestrians as a walk way and a Bike lane for "Bicyclists" so be careful. I prefer this bridge over any other bridge in NYC. read more

When in Brooklyn, do walk this bridge. It is actually pretty fun as you get to see the sights and scenes. The structure is pretty impressive as you can see the bridge held up by the suspension wires with the passing of each column pillar. For people who like perfectly angled lines & such, you will enjoy this one. ^__^ The pedestrian & cyclist traffic is on a separate higher level from the automotive traffic. You are able to get a better view of the city as well as taking awesome photographs. There is plenty of foot traffic so just make sure to stay on the right side and allow cyclists a path. =] Overall - fun scenic walk. Gorgeous architecture. read more

Even as the BB is getting a make-over it's still the most iconic bridge to walk across in NYC. Even when I'm just looking at the bridge from a distance on the Q train, from Brooklyn Heights or from City Hall, the best place to be is acutally walking across the bridge. Running and cycling are also allowed, but just be sure to stay in the correct lane! Take a break halfway through the bridge to read up on the history of the bridge and also take in sites of the manhattan and brooklyn boroughs. Fun to walk any time of the year! read more

My favorite bridge to go into BK! I prefer this bridge over Manhattan bridge. The entry points by pace university normally gets me on bridge in no time! Ohhh yea and the bridge is free.... No Tolls peeps. I'm an NJ driver so tolls exist everywhere lol. If your not driving, guess what??? You can still enjoy this bridge as it has a walking and biking path. I believe there are two observation points as well. I really should walk over this bridge one day as it's a NYC landmark. I'm sure the views from the observations points are awesome photo opportunities. Enjoy and have fun folks! read more

What can I say? It's perfection and has a personality unto itself. That includes the bike-riders, who will drop F-Bombs on you if you walk in the bike path portion.

The Brooklyn bridge is another landmark to see. I can't believe I walked from start to finish on this bridge. I told my family that I will only walk to the first arch but then when you pass the first arch, why not finish it right? It was an easy walk. I was able to see the city skyline from both ends. Wished it wasn't so cloudy but it's still pretty. read more

Yeah...the Brooklyn Bridge is truly perfection. Walk across the bridge, and just take it all in. Or you could attempt to run across the bridge, as I have done on many occasions. I hope that you that don't double over in agony when you're only 1/4 of the way across...like I frequently do. But, if you're like me, and you require a 'sit down' after running for two minutes, this gives you the perfect opportunity to really enjoy the bridge. The cars zooming by, the beautiful water, the colorful characters walking by. Beautiful. read more

Okay, but have any of yous actually DRIVEN on the Brooklyn Bridge!? That's what my review is for, since I actually only drove and had a metro ride experiencing it. My GODDDDDDD where is the money going in this city!? I have never driven on something so awful for my tires. I'm shocked my car didn't break down en route. I've driven on an 2-lane, ice-covered bridge fearing for my life, but this was honestly much, much worse. I'm sure some of you will never have to deal with driving through it, but JFC. Avoid it if you can. I'll update when I can recover from that experience. My poor, poor little Hyundai! Never again -_- Other than that, the view is great. Just don't expect a great view if you're driving. When the weather is better, I'm definitely going for the walk and getting the real BB experience! read more

It seems like whenever I cross the Brooklyn Bridge it's to introduce my friends to it. I've crossed the bridge with three-four of my friends just because they never walked across. Its a beautiful site (sadly defaced by the "waterfalls") The walk is a mere 15 minutes even with stops. I love getting on the bridge fresh from Chinatown with some goodies I got from their bakeries :) It's picturesque beauty is very inspiring for photographers and joggers/bicyclists are known to yell or try to get around us walkers. My brother and I once walked across the bridge at 10:00 PM on a hot summer day and it was well worth it. The lights and the emptiness gave the Brooklyn Bridge another side of beauty. Overall: WHAT ARE YOU SITTING HERE LIKE A SCHLEP READING THIS REVIEW FOR?! GO EXPERIENCE IT YOURSELF (preferably when it's warm out). YOU WON'T REGRET IT :D read more
