Brooklyn Bridge


Finally the heat has subsided a little, and Sunday morning seemed like a perfect time for a stroll across the Brooklyn Bridge. We caught the subway to High Street in Brooklyn Heights and walked the bridge back towards the city with fantastic views of the Manhattan skyline. The Brooklyn Bridge is one of the oldest suspension bridges in the US connecting the New York City boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn over the East River. Construction began in 1870 and the bridge was completed 13 years later - at that time was the largest and the first steel-wire suspension bridge in the world. After a leisurely stroll over the bridge and plenty of photos, we took the subway back to our hotel at 34th St.
