I took this photograph on the Brooklyn Bridge Promenade, facing southeast toward Brooklyn. Follow the path of the GPS coordinates and you’ll find the exact spot for this particular shot. It's about a 5-minute walk to the bridge.
From Manhattan :
- Closest Station: Brooklyn Bridge City Hall (4, 5 or 6 train)
- The bridge is just across the street from the subway station
- Follow the bridge to the Pedestrian Path
From Brooklyn:
- Closest Subway Station: Hight Street Brooklyn Bridge (A, C Train)
- The bridge entrance will be a short walk northwest of the station
- Once you arrive the GPS coordinates, turn around for this stunning view
