A Neighborhood Walk Through Brooklyn Heights

PAGE UNDER CONSTRUCTION!!!

Lady Liberty

Stepping out onto the Promenade is always a treat.  Seeing the Statue of Liberty off in the distance and all of the activity of the Harbor is thrilling.  Construction--always, plus tour boats, sail boats, barges.  It never gets old.

NYC Skyline

There is a lot to take in as you look northwest across the East River.  The skyline is anchored by the Freedom Tower, and the view north by the Brooklyn Bridge.  Brooklyn Bridge Park, and the recreation areas out on the piers are in the foreground.

The Promenade

Looking south on the Promenade, you get a glimpse of the activity on an early Sunday afternoon.  The large building on the right is One Brooklyn.  It is at the end of Brooklyn Bridge Park, on the other side of the Brooklyn Queens Expressway (the notorious BQE), which is beneath the Promenade.

More Promenade

You can see that there are fewer people at the northern end of the Promenade.  Note the Brooklyn Bridge and the new Pier House jutting out on the right, and then the Manhattan Bridge just north of that.
