Phil B. • July 26, 2015The best view on the DUMBO side of the bridge. Catch the ferry there in the summer and have lunch at Shake Shack or under the archway of the bridge, where you can devour amazing food truck food!

Nick J. • August 11, 2014Hands down the best bridge in Brooklyn.

Ricardo Daniel L. • August 28, 2017Less famous than bow bridge if has some great views as well. Gotta give a chance to every corner at this park.

nycgo • September 23, 2011Built from enormous uncut boulders—one of which is said to weigh 100 tons—Central Park's Huddlestone Arch is supported not by mortar, concrete or metal but by gravity and friction alone.

Ting • October 20, 2015Bridge itself is beautiful but not the views.

Stephanie L. • September 1, 2014The promenade is a great side view of Brooklyn bridge. Free live screening of the US open (and food). Great for picnics and a short walk to pier 5 for the weekend smorgasburg food markets.

The Vitamin Shoppe • March 15, 2012Take in the beautiful view from the Brooklyn Bridge and lace up your sneakers for a run or a walk across!
