The Other Bridge
The Brooklyn Bridge gets all the press.
She gets all the best scenes in movies, hundreds of books are written about her. But where do you get the best views of the Brooklyn Bridge? From the Manhattan Bridge of course.
Built entirely out of steel and completely in 1909, it may lack the gothic gravitas of the Brooklyn Bridge, but it’s gorgeous in it’s own right, with lovely, small details that you can only appreciate when you’re up close.
The Manhattan Bridge has two walkways: one of bikers, one for walkers. This alone makes it vastly superior to the Brooklyn Bridge for walking, but since all the tourists opt to walk over the Brooklyn Bridge, it’s a nicer stroll entirely.
It’s fall, the very best time for walking in New York City, so get out there, walk over the Manhattan Bridge. If you start in Manhattan and walk to Brooklyn, you can reward yourself with some Jacques Torres hot chocolate on the other side, or brunch at Bubby’s or a pie at Grimaldi’s or a Man of Leisure at Jack the Horse Tavern.
If you walk from Brooklyn into Chinatown and the Lower East Side reward yourself with dim sum at Dim Sum Go Go, or burgers and herring at Good World, or pho at Nha Trang or a panini at ‘inoteca.
Because, isn’t that why we walk to begin with? Food!
