What to do and see in Brooklyn, New York (NY): The Best Transportation

December 15, 2021 Stefan Strunk

It seems like most folks have a grandmother, great-uncle or some other distant relative that used to live in Brooklyn, or perhaps a friend that lives there now. In the early 1900s, it was a mecca for immigrants arriving via Ellis Island. A hundred years later, young professionals and artists left pricey Manhattan digs for Brooklyn's cheaper and more expansive space. Neighborhoods like Brooklyn Heights and Park Slope, which had fallen into disrepair over the years, were restored and reborn as funky enclaves. Walk or bike over the historic Brooklyn Bridge (or ride the subway) to Brooklyn Heights for a stroll along the Promenade and breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline. Meander through Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens for a taste of nature in the urban wilds. Catch a performance at the world-famous Brooklyn Academy of Music. From the delicious Italian restaurants of Bensonhurst to the Irish bars that line the avenues of Bay Ridge, from the hotdogs and rollercoasters of Coney Island to the bagels and handball courts of Greenpoint, Brooklyn is a state of mind as well as a dynamic community. Discover why, no matter where people move on to, they remain Brooklynites at heart.

East River Ferry

Reviewed By Stevestravels101 - Houston, United States

For $2.75 each we travelled up the East river from the Brooklyn Bridge to Mid Town (34th St) at sunset with incredible views of the Manhattan skyline. Not to be missed if you are visiting New York, especially if you are on a budget. Tip: bring a hat and gloves if you want to sit on the top deck and enjoy the view in November
