    Brooklyn has some of New York's most exciting sites and neighborhoods. One of the most famous, DUMBO, has earned quite a fan base, partially due to its catchy name. This neighborhood might be small in size, but that doesn't take away any of its charm and character. Even the name itself is a kitschy acronym [Down Under Manhattan Bridge Overpass.] This is probably Brooklyn's most Instagram-worthy spot! It is down on the waterfront in Dumbo, at the intersection of Washington Street and Water Street. The area is usually busy, but there is plenty of space to take photos and appreciate the views. You will notice the Empire State Building in the void between the bridge supports. If you are here- DUMBO is considered to be one of New York City's premier arts districts. There are several art galleries and performance spaces, including the Klompching Gallery and St. Ann's Warehouse. Remember you can also visit the place at night; it is beautiful!

    This spot has the nicest view of Manhattan Bridge. It's located at Washington street between front street and Water Street. Please watch my photos. Can you remember the scenery in the scene of famous classical America movie? When I was elementary school students, I watched it by revival. Well, this movie was " once upon a time in America." It was directed by Italian filmmaker, Sergio Leone 1984. Though I was a little kid, I was so interested in its adult mood in the movie. Besides, this movie illustrates main character's life that he grew up and became a gangster in an Italian settlement, New York. So, I wanted to visit their real location for creating the movie. In New York, there are so many locations for famous movies, and New York's tourist agents have a lot of tour courses for a movie location. Though I didn't use their agents, I absolutely want to visit Dombo, main location of " once upon a time in America" Dumbo, especially Washington Street is main location and the best view point. How to get to the Dumbo Manhattan Bridge View. This scenic view point is located along Washington Street in the Dombo neighbourhood of Brooklyn New York City. Maybe it recommend by subway. And it's Entrance free. Best time to visit it, you need to visit early in the morning to beat the crowds, preferably before 9am. Construction on the Manhattan Bridge began in 1901 and since then, the bridge's Brooklyn side tower has been beautifully framed by the brick warehouses on Washington Street. This spectacular view was actually spotted and caught on camera even before the bridge's span was complete.

    Iconic spot to take photo of the Manhattan bridge. Lined by 2 brick buildings this spot is Instagram worthy. That being said there are a lot of other people taking photos here so expect it to be a bit crowded and to have other people in your shot.

    Connecting Lower Manhattan with Brooklyn Heights, this iconic bridge is an architectural marvel…read moreknown the world over. Completed in 1883, this suspension bridge with its visually familiar stone arches has been featured in many Hollywood blockbusters including: Spider-Man, The French Connection, Enchanted, Sex and the City, I Am Legend, Cloverfield, Godzilla, Deep Impact, Moonstruck, and Sophie's Choice. Fun fact: in order to prove its safety, P.T. Barnum once crossed the bridge with 21 elephants. Today, this bridge averages nearly 29K pedestrians and over 103K vehicles PER DAY. Although I've been in NYC a handful of times, I've only ever walked across this bridge once in my life. Started on the Manhattan side and made my way over to Brooklyn, before walking it back over to Manhattan. All in, took me about 20mins with multiple stops for photos. On both ends of the bridge, you'll find a variety of merchants hawking their goods. Although there is substantially more on the Manhattan side than Brooklyn. A lot of the vendors will carry the same goods, but the prices are not all made equal. I recommend walking a bit deeper in if you spot something you like to see if you can find it cheaper. You can always double back if you cannot find it again. The pedestrian promenade is pretty wide and accommodates a pretty heavy flow of foot traffic, with plenty of room to stop to take pictures. And speaking of pictures, you'll definitely be treated to gorgeous, unobstructed views of the Lower Manhattan skyline and the East River walking in either direction. There is also separate protected bicycle path which is great in preventing collisions between pedestrians and cyclists. Come here on a beautiful day like I did and enjoy the extra cardio while soaking up the view. It's definitely worth it and something you should do at least once when visiting NYC.

    I love walking the Brooklyn Bridge. Whether you're a local, tourist, or regular visitor like…read moremyself, it's something everyone should do at least once. It's one of the most iconic structures in the world. The architecture and infrastructure of this bridge are mind-blowing. Many folks use the bridge in pedestrian as well as via motor vehicles form as their daily route. The views from the bridge are just incredible. As others have mentioned, it takes a good 30 minutes to walk and it goes by quickly. Don't hesitate to do it. Walk the bridge! It's a bucketlist item for sure.

Later learned that the tower was a memorial for our Revolutionary War fallen veterans. George Washington snuck away from the Redcoats in the middle of the fog to avoid defeat in one of the many Revolutionary W battles. Spike Lee had a store The Spike Lee Joint selling clothing hats etc from his line at the time from the 80's to I believe 90's. Tennis courts in Fort Greene Park.

(It was under my leg. Typical.) I originally came here to get some work done, but that plan derailed when I got distracted by a group of people practising acrobatics on the lawn. Watching someone casually flip through the air while you struggle to open a granola bar puts things in perspective. They fell a few times, laughed it off, and tried again--like failure wasn't even a thing to consider. I respect that. One day, a woman with calloused hands sat next to me and began carefully arranging leaves on the bench beside her. She sorted them by colour--deep reds, crisp yellows, tired browns--before pressing each one flat against the wood as if committing them to memory. A breeze came through and scattered her careful work, but she only smiled and started again. I almost asked what she was making, but some things don't need a final form to have meaning. Five stars. Come here if you need space to think or if you want a reminder that the world is full of people quietly working on things that matter to them.

The sculpture is a 30 foot tall swimming pool, taken out of its normal context and displayed in its side with a diving board built in at the top. One of my favorite elements are the working lights on the inside left and right of the pool sculpture. Being that it's out of context - a recreational object in the middle of a commercial center - it creates a sense of longing and desire for recreation over industry and gives you an off-kilter feeling (why am I going to work when I could be swimming!). Overall a great piece of colorful public art at placed I a great spot for the perfect season. The piece is on display from April 13th though June 3rd, 2016. Catch it while you can!
