I took this photograph on the Brooklyn Bridge Promenade, facing southeast toward Brooklyn, just before the big suspension tower. Once on the bridge, follow the path to the GPS coordinates.
From Manhattan:
- Closest Subway Station: Brooklyn Bridge/City Hall (4, 5, or 6 Train); you can also take the J or Z trains to Chambers Street
- From both stops, the bridge will be right across the street
- Follow the bridge to the Pedestrian Path
From Brooklyn:
- Closest Subway Station: High Street Brooklyn Bridge (A or C Train)
- The bridge entrance will be a short walk northwest of the station
- You can also take the F train to York Street; the bridge entrance will be a short walk southwest of the station
