Description

Added by Rob Witt

The Brooklyn Bridge is an amazing photography subject with Manhattan as a backdrop. The bridge provides easy access and has a grass lawn to set up and relax on.

Escaping the hustle and bustle of the city doesn't always require actually leaving the city. Hanging out next to the East River and focusing on photographing the Brooklyn Bridge can be just what you need to clear your head and get your fix for some outdoors time. This is a great spot to practice your night photography - the city lights and river reflections create some pretty awesome landscapes.

Grab a coffee and a crepe from Roomr around the corner and post up for a few hours of shooting, snacking, and chillin.

Like in every movie or postcard you’ve seen of this bridge, there’s no place or angle, that doesn’t photograph beautifully! Nighttime is the best because of all the lights!

If you go to walk the bridge/take photos, go in the early morning. The light is nice, but you'll get folks who are working out/exercising and not the tourists who are there for photos.

No matter what your viewpoint is, this is worth visiting for sunset! Iconic!

Beautiful in every aspect - the bridge itself, the views from the bridge, where both ends lead. You are walking on history when you walk(run or cycle!) the Brooklyn Bridge!

The Brooklyn Bridge is a fantastic photography subject with Manhattan as a backdrop. The bridge is easy to get to and on.

On a weekend many yachts and sailboat are up and down the river. I prefer doing long exposure photography which will help blur out those objects.

Photograph Manhattan Bridge from Washington Street NYC

Located in DUMBO this is seen as one of of the prime photography spots in NYC for good reason. Off the intersection of Washington Street and Water Street is a perfect view of the Manhattan Bridge sandwiched between two buildings. If you want to take it one step further you are able to get a closer view of the bridge at Main Street Park (Found at the end of Washington Street). Parking here is di...

Brooklyn Bridge Park

The Brooklyn Bridge Park spans over a mile of waterfront and is an awesome location for being active or just relaxing outdoors without leaving the city. There is a ton of grassy space to set up a picnic and watch the sunset and many other options for fun - basketball courts, a carousel, roller skating rink and playgrounds. There are concession stands throughout the park and lots of great restau...

Brooklyn Bridge Park Piers

Starting at the Brooklyn Main Street Park, you are on the right side of the Manhattan Bridge. Here you can check out the new outdoor climbing gym. Keep walking along the water and you'll soon come upon Pebble Beach. Now this beach is not exactly a "let's bring our beach chairs and spend the day here" beach; it's more of a "woah! there's a beach here?" beach. But do whatever makes you happy....

Climb Outdoors at DUMBO Boulders (CLOSED)

Practice bouldering at North America's largest outdoor rock climbing gym after work. Of course you aren't climbing mountains, but at least the view of the East River isn't too shabby! Enter at the corner of Adams St. and John St. and see the Manhattan Bridge above you. To your left is the new DUMBO Boulders, the largest outdoor rock gym in North America: at least for now. At only $9 for a d...

Brooklyn Bridge Walk via Brooklyn

Walking the Brooklyn Bridge from the Brooklyn side is a rewarding experience that blends history, architecture, and stunning views of New York City. Start your journey at the pedestrian entrance near Cadman Plaza, which is easily accessible by subway (Court Street or High Street stations). The bridge, completed in 1883, was a marvel of engineering when it opened, designed by John A. Roebling an...

Explore the South Street Seaport

Get a feel for what New York was like in the 19th century at the Seaport! The Seaport boasts some of the oldest buildings and architecture in Manhattan, and the area continues to bustle today. The Seaport borders the Financial District and the East River - so there are lots of wonderful sights to take in, in addition to great shopping, eateries, and entertainment. Parking in New York is a nigh...
