- NIAIstanbul, Türkiye18 contributionsGreat viewGreat view and lovely environment. We have stayed in a nearby house for two weeks, and visited the promenade almost every hour in different days. It was all superb in different weather and light conditions… Don’t miss the opportunity to see Manhattan from this side…Visited September 2023Traveled with familyWritten September 25, 2023
- sharrongegHenderson, Nevada3,698 contributionsLovely StrollAbsolutely the most beautiful stroll. We arrived at about 10 am and there was low cloud cover. By 11:30, the skies cleared and the views were incredible. Not crowded, just regular folk walking dogs, pushing strollers or just enjoying the view. Plenty of bench seating available. If I could afford a home on this promenade-I would buy it without hesitation! Could not recommend higher!Visited June 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten June 5, 2024

- Thomas VOakland, California17,572 contributionsStroll and SitOne of the best features of Brooklyn, this is an elevated park and stroll above the waterfront and harbor. The views of lower Manhattan and the harbor are superb. This has been a film site often. Good place to come in pleasant weather, stroll and sit. The length of the Promenade is only a few blocks.Visited August 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten September 11, 2024

To Walk the Promenade is to Walk Back in Time..
You get to see a wonderful view of lower Manhattan. With the new skyline developing and the river traffic very busy with transit ferries a buss. Must admit we do miss the old view of the original World Trade Center.
Now below you will see the old Port Authority Pier area being developed into Park and Recreation area with sport included. Even a walk below will allow you to walk a Mall along the waterfront.
But at night what a wonderful keepsake picture.
Go to the far end and enjoy the DUMBO area of Brooklyn Bridge.

This is a real neighborhood park, A relaxing place for Brooklynites to enjoy some air and sun. It is cantilevered out over the Brooklyn Queens Expressway, but unless you look straight down, you won't see it. Instead there is a beautiful park below, and one of the best views of Lower Manhattan you will find.
If you walk all the way to the northern end (turn right from the street entrances), you can easily reach a walking bridge that will take you down to the waterfreont park along Columbia Heights, just above Vine Street.
If you stay on Columbia Heights, you'll be at the base of the Brooklyn Bridge, where there are some more really spectacular views, and access to another park on the other side of the bridge.
There are restaurants along Montague St., which leads down to the Promenade from the subway, where you can pick up some food to enjoy with the view. There are also some nice places to eat down under the the bridge, and the area between the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges.
Interesting old neighborhood with a LOT of history, and some very nice modernizations.

All true New Yorker's know about Brooklyn Heights Promenade. As Brooklyn has become a much more prominent destination for tourists, this is a must see. It's free to the public with expansive space accommodated by a spectacular view of lower Manhattan. Photography enthusiast will have a hard time trying to leave once they see unobtrusive open view with plenty of room to roam around with a tripod.

This long promenade hugs the Brooklyn shore of the East River. When the weather is not too hot or cold, it is a world-class stroll. You will see everything from lower Manhattan right in your face up to midtown. You will see, from lower to midtown, the Brooklyn, Manhattan, Williamsburg and Queensboro Bridges in a row. One of the great viewpoints in the USA, and even worldwide.

Great backdrop for pictures. In the winter it can be a bit windy. Lots of food close by. Parking can be a bear. Great place to spend a few hours walking (assuming it's nice weather). May be nice and breezy in the summer - it is right on water.

Best spot to view the glorious sunset over lower Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty. A serene place without tourist crowds, bicyclists or pot smokers. Ideal for couples, families with kids and pets. If you are quiet and respectful to local residents, please come back often.

Brooklyn heights promenade is a great place to get out doors and relax, take your dog for a walk or go on a leisurely walk yourself. Clean well maintained and beautiful overall. Worth going if live nearby. Never too packed. Locals are nice streets and area is pretty. Go-to for walks and getting some fresh air

Hi. Is this a safe area? And what’s the best way to get here? First timer from the UK. Hoping to visit the Brooklyn bridge so is this within walking distance?

Sin duda, vale la pena, es más, desde el lado de Brooklyn se hacen unas fotos increíbles al skyline de Manhattan y es muy bonito

Sorry, tris review is about the Highline.The Brooklyn promenade
is even better
Written August 15, 2015
Chiedo scusa avevo pubblicato io stessa una recensione sulla promenade scrivendo invece un giudizio sulla highline. Come giustamente precisa Francesco intendevo dire che la promenade è ancora migliore è spettacolare di sera per gustare lo skyline di New York. Scusate ancora, ho solo voluto correggere il mio errore

Partendo da Midtown in metro, si arriva a Brooklyn Heigts? Non avendo la macchina sarebbe l'unico modo x arrivarci (tranne che a piedi).
Grazie x le risposte

Salve, le fermate della metro più vicine sono:

Hello - can you advise please on the best mode of transfer from Newark International Airport to your hotel.
Thank you
Written February 12, 2015
Hello there!!
You're posting on a wrong section
This is about the Promenade at Brooklyn Heights that overlooks Brooklyn Bridge :)
Maybe your hotel has a similar name but it's not this one here
As a recent traveler to NYC I have the following tips
Taxis are fast and door to door but quite expensive
I took a 60$ fixed rate one from JFK to Manhattan but no idea about Newark.
Must be cheaper and faster anyway, i Imagine around 40$
Shuttles are at decent prices but you may have to wait up to 45 minutes to get one
Metro is CHEAP but you'll have to carry your luggage up and down the stations (imagine something similar to the London Tube BUT and add more stairs and people)
I found this similar to your question topic:
tripadvisor. com/ShowTopic-g60827-i617-k1828630-Newark_Airport_to_Brooklyn-Brooklyn_New_York.html
Hope I helped !!
Have a great time anyway
