The view from the Manhattan Bridge was spectacular, and I could see the Brooklyn Bridge, the Statue of Liberty, and the Staten Island Ferry.

From a distance it can be admired with grace and strength. From up-close it is grotesque and graffiti infested. Manhattan Bridge is not as densely populated with pedestrians or bicyclists as Brooklyn Bridge. Walking path is on the outer edge of the bridge which the view of the arch is obstructed. The walk is refreshing and revival to the spirit. This bridge needs a lot of work for cleanup. Subways: N and Q trains travels on this bridge. Starting from Manhattan side to Brooklyn it takes you to DUMBO = Down Under Manhattan Bridge Overpass. read more

I love this bridge! Its a great big gray architectural gem that connects Brooklyn to Manhattan. I enjoy each trip over this bridge and love how gray with age. Good thing about this bridge is that the traffic on it is never too bad, at least when I get to experience it and it serves those in Cars, Trains, and those who walk or bike. What makes this bridge stand out from the other NYC bridges is the Arch & Colonnade on the Manhattan side. Although its sort of neglected it has a certain charm to it. Unlike other bridges this bridge and arch area is covered in graffiti and littered with homeless which makes it OG NYC. Unlike all the flashy tourist attractions/traps this bridge is just a silent attraction which has been around for over a century and serves its purpose well. read more

We decided to walk the Manhattan Bridge from Dumbo to Manhattan because it will take us straight to the Manhattan Chinatown. We also wanted to view the sunset as we walked across the bridge. Given it was November and cold, it was still nice to walk across the bridge. In addition to the sightseeing, you can also see the Brooklyn bridge from afar. The view from the Brooklyn bridge is definitely better compared to the Manhattan bridge though so I can see how the Brooklyn bridge can be a tourist spot vs. the Manhattan bridge. However, unless we're desperate, we probably would not walk the Manhattan Bridge again because of the fear of losing my hearing. There are trains that constantly run across the bridge, next to the pedestrian walking area. Eventually, that was driving me insane and giving me a headache. Compared to the Brooklyn Bridge, there are way less people on the Manhattan Bridge and most, if not all, people walking on the Manhattan Bridge was locals rather than tourists. But overall, it was still a good experience. And now we know what it's like to walk across the Manhattan Bridge. We also got the steps in and go to Chinatown straight from Dumbo. Manhattan Bridge - checked! read more

This is a great Manhattan Bridge is simple fast and easy to take. This bridge started to be built in 1901 and it took 8 years after they opened it on December 31, 1909. I love how this bridge was made It has great beautiful views. Many people love biking and many others use it to walk or jog. The length of this bridge is over 1 mile so if your walking you can get from side to side in minutes. Many tourist love this bridge it has unlimited view points and you can take great photos. Wonderful architecture this is just a must see in person bridge. read more

I felt I shouldn't review this bridge until I'd actually crossed it on foot, but as the years progressed, I realized that's unlikely to happen anytime soon so I'm pulling the trigger and reviewing the bridge now! One thing I like about this bridge is the view you get from the train while crossing it. Great views of Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan skyline and the river. I also like the grand entrance in Chinatown on the Manhattan side, however on the Brooklyn side the entrace is rather non descript. In the pantheon of East River bridges, I'd say this is a far second to the Brooklyn Bridge and is more on par with the Queensboro Bridge (we won't even discuss the Williamsburg Bridge) read more

A beautiful way to walk from Brooklyn into Manhattan. I will at that the sound of the train gets annoying bit honestly it's expected. The water and view of the Brooklyn bridge is absolutely gorgeous. Along the way. There are perfect moments to take pictures that really fit the vibe of city life. I do wish that there was aboke trail though. Not only for the safety of the riders but also the walkers. Almost got run over a couple of times lol All in all, a nice way to see the city! read more

The Manhattan Bridge is my favorite. And here are (4) reasons why: 1) Chinatown graffiti. It's vibrant and always changing. The views of Chinatown from the bridge are pretty cool too, especially around the Chinese New Year when the streets are decorated. 2) View of downtown Manhattan, Brooklyn AND the Brooklyn Bridge. We all know the BK bridge is a symbol of NYC and with that being said you should absolutely walk across it. But when you get to BK, take the left, head to DUMBO and walk back to Manhattan on the Manhattan Bridge. Totally different views and you get that icon BK Bridge in the background of your photos. 3) The train is, like, right there. There's something really urban about walking across the bridge and the Q train comes speeding past. It's pretty loud though, so don't plan on having a in depth conversation with whoever you're walking with. 4) The bike lane is on the other side of the bridge. One of my biggest gripes w/ the BK bridge is that the walkway is too narrow for all the traffic the bridge gets. On the Manhattan Bridge the pedestrian and bike lanes are on the outside, cars/trains on the inside. You can feel free to wander wherever without any worry that a bike is going to ring it's bell at you. A couple other random notes: I wouldn't go on the bridge by myself, especially at night. It's too deserted, even during the day. If your plan is to walk to and from BK around sunset- start on the Manhattan and come back on the Brooklyn where there will inevitably be dozens more people walking w/ you. Driving is relatively easy on the Manhattan Bridge. Upper + lower levels, and easy to access from either Canal Street or Flatbush Ave. read more

IMHO Manhattan Bridge is one of the most underrated bridges in NYC. As a runner, this is definitely my favorite bridge to run on - there are no chaos and insane crowds like in Brooklyn Bridge, and the view is a little bit better than the Williamsburg Bridge. One thing to watch out for is that this bridge gets really loud from the trains. There's something about the tracks on this bridge that makes a loud screeching noise as the trains pass by. They don't happen that frequently, though, so just cover your ears when you see a train approaching, and focus your energy on soaking up the amazing view. As with many other bridges in Manhattan, there is a separate bike path and pedestrian path. Make you get on the right one! Otherwise it could get awkward the entire way through! read more

I don't think Manhattan Bridge gets enough love. Not as iconic as the Brooklyn Bridge, less popular than the Williamsburg, what I enjoy most about this bridge is its grit. I usually walk the bridge from lower Manhattan into Brooklyn, a walk that requires weaving your way through crowded Chinatown, not really an experience I enjoy, but it's part of the process. Coming in from the Manhattan side, there are homeless people, sometimes people strung out, and a good amount of garbage, but I've yet to be hassled by anyone. You get great views of some of Chinatown's winding streets, hidden corners, and interesting graffiti. There are still poor and working class people living here, and it's accessible if you choose to see it, I think that's important. The trains also hurdle through, creating more noise on top of the traffic. And then you break out over the water, to a beautiful view of lower Manhattan, the Brooklyn Bridge, and Governors Island. Once you start to see Brooklyn, it's like a different world, with luxury condos full of outdoor decks I rarely see people on. Balcony's that are ridiculously small butting up against a building that didn't care whose view it was blocking. It's a walk that offers a lot of contrasts. read more

Walked all the way across to "DUMBO" and it took 20 minutes. It's a nice walk and you get a view of chinatown and downtown, however, there is a fence you have to work your camera around. Unfortunately you can't view midtown because you walk along the west side of the bridge. Trains pass every 60-90 seconds on the tracks in the middle of the bridge. If you go to Washington street between Water St and Front St, you get a pretty sweet view of the bridge and you'll be at one of the most instagrammed spots in NY. read more

Great bridge to avoid crowds. If you are like me and want to get to from A to B in a quick and timely manner then this is the bridge for you. I much rather prefer this bridge over the Brooklyn bridge for my treks into the Brooklyn. Yeah, yeah, we all know the Brooklyn is the bridge that is most associated with NYC. However, the Manhattan Bridge will get you to the same spot (more or less) as the Brooklyn bridge without all of the drama. The Brooklyn bridge, due to its popularity, is ALWAYS full of tourists taking selfies, cyclists, and regular everyday folk, making it very hard to cross. So if you are visiting NYC give the Manhattan Bridge a chance . . . it is a very lonely bridge. You could walk the Brooklyn Bridge into Brooklyn then take the Manhattan Bridge into Manhattan - a direct route into Chinatown and the Lower East side. read more

If the Williamsburg Bridge is a no-go, the Manhattan Bridge will get you to Brooklyn. There's no toll, and you get a cool view of the East River, LES, and Northside. Win-Win. However, the lanes are a bit narrow, so be careful! read more

The view? Incredible. Why only 4 & not 5 stars? I've been on the train on this bridge, but this weekend i walked the manhattan bridge with a fence between me and the east river on one side, & the concrete shaking subway train loudly raging on the other side of me. Seriously, it was super loud ever 30 seconds or so and the whole bridge shook! Occasionally other joggers or walkers went by on the narrow little walkway. I was sure I'd per usual drop my cell phone and being on the bridge and all it would slip off under the rail into the east river Also to echo others comments, its not like I'm skiddish normally in cities, but this bridge is a lot more desolate feeling than others and when I was passed unexpectedly by people even during the day it did give me a wee bit of the creeps. But you know, me and my phone survived to yelp about it. read more

There are over 1k reviews for the Brooklyn Bridge so as far as photos and popularity that bridge seems to get more love but that's ok. After thinking about it I decided that it would be nicer if we walked across the Manhattan Bridge instead. Distance to where we started wasn't really the concern to me because it had more to do with where the pedestrian path was as opposed to the bridge itself. Without ever crossing the Brooklyn bridge I know the pedestrian path goes down the middle because it's a fairly common photo taken when people walk across it. For the Manhattan Bridge however the pedestrian path is at the side of the bridge so there's less of an obstructed view for southern Manhattan which in my opinion is better for photos. Historically speaking the bridges are both over 100 years old and the Manhattan bridge is younger by about a decade so there's not much difference there. We made our way from Canal street walking east towards Bowery. The pedestrian entrance for the bridge is on the south side of the bridge so going east on Canal you have to cross Bowery and stay to the right, crossing twice because Bowery is divided at this section of the street. There are clearly marked signs that the pedestrian crossing is to the right of the bridge. This is why in my opinion that the view has more access simply because you are on the side of the bridge (the south side) facing lower Manhattan and you can also get a full length view and shots of the Brooklyn Bridge while you're at it. While there's a chain link fence above the iron bars, you can put your lense up to the fence or use the gap in between the bottom of the fence and the top of the bars to get your shots. Where the towers of the bridge are is a small half circle type of landing where you can face different directions for other shots as well. While crossing you will get an elevated view of the Two Bridges community and cross streets of East Broadway, Henry, Madison, Cherry, Water, South as well as the FDR before you cross the East River. The exit of of the crossing takes you down the stairs to near Jay and Sands street in the neighborhood of Dumbo. While there's the York F train station just up the street at York and Jay we walked up Jay and west along Prospect (under the Brooklyn Bridge) and south on Cadman Plaza West side to get to the High Street A-C uptown train instead because we were going to Chelsea Market to eat after this healthy walk. Try to keep in mind that the subway level is right beside the pedestrian level and yes it's loud and yes it will sort of shake the ground you're on. If you're afraid of heights just stay away from the railing and closer to the inside just keep in mind that side is for the traffic coming the other way. There were a few bikes that passed us so just like a road you should stay on the right side of the path. As you get to the towers and in between the suspension of the towers you will be pretty high over the river. read more

Beautiful bridge connecting Manhattan to Brooklyn (or vice versa). However, when getting up close to walk on the pedestrian paths, my goodness was there graffiti here and there! Subway trains also share the bridge with cars so it's interesting seeing them go across. Good place to see the Manhattan Bridge is from Brooklyn's Dumbo district. I've seen people doing photos in the small alleyway facing out towards the bridge. read more

Great opportunity for a free sightseeing opportunity and exercise all in one. Much less crowded than the Brooklyn Bridge from a tourist perspective. Still has great photo opportunities looking North and of NYC. This is more of a cycling bridge so rent a CitiBike or bring your own.

This bridge runs from downtown Manhattan, around Chinatown, to downtown Brooklyn. There are three ways to get across the bridge, bike/foot path, cars and subways. I've never taken the subway or the bike path across but I do over occasionally. The view driving from either side is definitely something to do at night. Great views. read more

Yet another bridge in the northeast has left me speechless! Such an easy ride. I felt like I was barely touching the concrete. Speaking of concrete, I witnessed some beautiful sidewalk art installations (see attached) and I don't wanna jump to the conclusion that it was a Banksy original but I mean come on! I just really appreciate art especially graffiti like so that has a very valuable humanitarian cause. Aside from this great cause, the height of the bridge was iconic. Something all bridges should strive for. Most certainly not a bridge that's safe to jump off for a swim. Ne'theless, I'm sure there's a great view of the bridge from the water! Ok anyway, I will 100% (maybe 90%) be taking this bridge again, especially since I need to get home. But when push comes to shove I may even chose the Manhattan bridge over the Brooklyn bridge. Who knows...that's a bridge we can cross in another conversation tehehe read more

"So, what do YOU know about Manhattan bridge?" - somebody asked me. .... .... .... .... ...and all I could come up with was XanderNation wild party on the bridge. Pathetic, I know - but c'mon, man, that was big. Epic!!!!!! Just like bridge itself, I must say. Fun and parties aside, Manhattan Bridge to me is a symbol of industrial New York. Its suspension structure, color, design, subway tracks rolling thru is as urban as it gets, but also a bit of eclectic. It is beautiful in its own way, silhouetting in bluish cray against New York skyline. Opened in 1909, it was, at that time, third longest suspension bridge in the world. Also last suspension bridge built across the East river, it completes the trio, along with Brooklyn and Williamsburg bridges. Iconic. Cannot imagine East River without it. read more

My favorite thing about the Manhattan Bridge isn't the bridge itself. It's the art installation called the Masstransiscope. The artist Bill Brand created this zoetrope in the abandoned Myrtle Ave. station on the Manhattan-bound B and Q train line over the Manhattan Bridge. It consists of 228 hand painted panels viewed thru slots that animate them as you ride by. It was originally installed in September 1980, but over the years was vandalized to the point I thought it was destroyed. The Masstransiscope was completely restored in 2008. You can see the work here: http://www.bboptics.com/masstransiscope.html I remember the only time I saw it when it wasn't vandalized. My Mom and I were coming from Abraham & Strauss in Downtown Brooklyn. We normally took the D train, so I think it was rerouted over the bridge. It's a quick show. If you're not looking out the window like an eager child such as I was, you'd miss the magic. I was transfixed. I spent years looking for it, not exactly knowing where it was. I was a kid and this was before Google folks. But when I finally saw it again, it was for all intents and purposes, destroyed. I was heartbroken. But this was pre-Disney NYC. You couldn't have nice things back then. Well, I'm thrilled it's back in its former glory. And I recommend that all tourists ride the Subway at least once during their visit. Go to Brooklyn for the day and ride the B or Q back into Manhattan (keep your eyes glued to the right side of the car as you leave the Dekalb Station), so they can get a peek at what makes NYC such a wonderful place for the arts. Addendum: The Masstransiscope was vandalized yet again! Dammit! Leave it alone, you stupid punks! http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323665504579030850715796422.html?mod=WSJ_hpp_sections_newyork read more

I had never really pondered an outing to the Manhattan Bridge, having crossed the storied Brooklyn Bridge many times by foot and on bike. But that's because I wasn't looking at the bigger picture. When my normal subway (under the water) was re-routed one construction day (over the bridge), it was then I noticed a fantastic sunset, so I vowed to return. If you like views/photography or just an opportunity to see NY from new perspectives, this is a great little outing. Starting on the NY side, I started to walk on the northern side of the bridge, which is currently closed to bike traffic. But since the sun was setting on the opposite side, I switched course and walked along the bike route on the South side. Yeah, I wasn't supposed to do this, but there weren't many people out and being a peddler myself, don't mind pedestrians as long as they are mindful and off to the side. If mirroring this same route, you get some good views of Chinatown and a mixture of street scenes, old apartment buildings, graffiti and lower Manhattan rising behind these. As you make your way over the river, you get a fantastic view of the financial district, Brooklyn bridge, boats, copters and the pulse of the water and people buzzing along, upon and beside it. This is where you can take that photo of the Brooklyn Bridge that you can't get while on the Brooklyn Bridge. You then descend into Brooklyn Heights with views of the redeveloping waterfront and views into some very nice condos (insert lotto winning dreams here). Overall, this is a blue collar bridge. It's got loud traffic, screaming trains, dirt-covered surfaces, and thick fencing to stop jumpers. Some of the more ornate viewing areas are bolted up and it's pretty much maintained as a functional transport corridor rather than a place for gawking. To take pics, for example, you have to find gaps in the fencing. But while not dreamy, it offers dreamy views. I'll be back, at different times of the day, so see what other fantastic sights can be seen from this steadfast workhorse. read more

UPDATE: PLEASE BE WARNED: The police have said people are regularly assaulted and mugged here, and it seems to have increased recently due to all the homeless and residents from nearby projects who cross/prowl this bridge. This bridge is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS at night and early morning - from the second the sun isn't out anymore, basically. There have even been unsanctioned "bridge parties" at night around 9 or 10 PMish, where if you're unlucky, you might find yourself running into a group of 100+ drunk and drugged out people - mostly men. (Do you really want to find yourself in the middle of that mob? There are no emergency blue lights or exits, so pray you don't get trapped or injured.) Yet the city still hasn't installed better lighting or hired any police to patrol the area... Too bad because this bridge is so nice during the day... ----- As far as sunny, DAYTIME outings go, when there are more people around, this is the best bridge for REAL walking/running between Brooklyn and Manhattan. BUT ONLY during the clear DAYTIME. (And even then, you gotta be careful.) In Manhattan, the pedestrian entrance is the southern entrance (by Confucius Plaza) - although I see bicyclists take this path, too. The bicycle path is on the northern end along Canal St. Yes, it is narrower than the Brooklyn Bridge and further away from the FiDi buildings, so not quite as scenic. Yes, you have to deal with the noise of the trains going by from time to time. BUT you can still enjoy a nice view AND most importantly: you AVOID THE PACKS OF SLOW TOURISTS! This bridge will save you time and sanity because of that. You can still have scenic views of the Financial District and the rest of Manhattan - just walk to the Brooklyn Bridge Waterfront Park once you get off the bridge. BUT AGAIN, PLEASE HEED THE WARNING ABOVE. And remember there's safety in numbers!! read more

Sitting on the top deck of a double decker bus tour headed towards Brooklyn, I had to literally lean to the side so as to avoid getting hit on the head (or knocked off the bus altogether as was suggested by the tour guide) because the Brooklyn Bridge underpass was THAT LOW...... and for some reason, this was tied to why we couldn't drive over the Brooklyn Bridge itself into Brooklyn.... not quite sure how. So instead, we drove over the Manhattan Bridge to get into Brooklyn. I loved the fact that while this bridge opened in 1909, here I was traveling over it in 2014. I'd say it's been around for a little while. read more

Not as much fun to walk on as the Brooklyn bridge, because there's a wire fence everywhere, and trains thunder by right next to you at regular intervals, which makes trying to take pictures by sticking your phone out of said wire fence really precarious! On the plus side, there are completely separated paths for cyclists and pedestrians, unlike the Brooklyn Bridge. The views of downtown Manhattan and the Brooklyn bridge are brilliant, and the walkway is pretty clean and.. walkable. Another plus point is that the start and end point both have amazing places to eat. You can't go wrong with the culinary options in Chinatown and DUMBO. read more

Truly a great experience for both New Yorkers and non-new Yorkers. If done on a good day, the views are great from the water and classic New York graffiti touches along the roughly mile journey. If walking towards Brooklyn, it lets you off on the DUMBO area which is great for local shops and food spots. If going towards manhattan, or let's you out at china town and steps away from little Italy and it's abundant restaurants lined along the street. It can get very busy and super packed with people, so traveling across the bridge in comfy clothes with a bottle of water is highly recommended. read more

I walked across this bridge from Brooklyn back to Manhattan at the advice of a tour guide in the new Trade Center tower. I don't recommend it. First, if you're scared of heights, it's definitely not for you as if you look down, you can see the gushing river below. At least with the Brooklyn Bridge of you look straight down, you can't see water. Second, the walking path is literally right next to the subway tracks and a train comes through every 10-15 seconds, which is loud and makes the whole bridge shake. It's not a pleasant enjoyable walk. Third, there's a lot of graffiti and trash on the bridge and once you get to the Manhattan side, it's in a bad area. read more

The Manhattan Bridge is often ignored in favor of its more famous sister to the south. Yeah, it isn't as iconic as the Brooklyn Bridge, but the Manhattan Bridge still has a lot to offer. One, its views are just as great as the Brooklyn Bridge, including some wonderful views of the Brooklyn Bridge. In addition, you also get some nice views of the streets of Chinatown. Two, the pedestrian walkway is not as crowded as the Brooklyn Bridge. There is one section that is so full of graffiti that you wonder if you had fallen into a time warp to the 70s. Depending on your point of view, this is either coolly retro, or unsightly. I tend to go for the former, but that's just my opinion. Also, the subways run by the walkway, and when a train rolls by, you will feel the bridge shake. And the traffic sounds can be loud. On the Brooklyn Bridge, you are above the traffic, and it doesn't seem as noisy. I've only driven on the Manhattan Bridge a few times. It's not great, but it isn't bad either. But, all-in-all, it is a nice connector between Chinatown & DUMBO, and the walk across is pleasant on a nice day. read more

Hey yo. The Manhattan bridge is a landmark in New York City. Spanning across the east river from Canal Street to Downtown Brooklyn, the bridge connects just about a train stop's worth of a distance. I always head up on this bridge when driving to Brooklyn. I give it enough props because I've always made it to the other side alive. One star gets docked because: 1. there can be rude drivers on the freeway; 2. the name. I don't understand why this was the last bridge built in the city, but it was the first one to be named the Manhattan bridge. All bridges that span the East River are Manhattan bridges right? Also shoutouts to the B & D trains for taking me across the river so I could shop at Target, attend a Brooklyn Nets game, and eat at Dinosaur BBQ. read more

There are only over 100 plus reviews here is totally opposed to over 1000 plus reviews of Brooklyn bridge, as you can see manhattan bridge is defused and obliterated by Brooklyn bridge in the good grace of tourists, even some locals. But I have no idea about the reasons, as far as I am concerned, I prefer M bridge to Brooklyn bridge. There are some reasons are shown as below, (just to name a few). Firstly, Manhattan bridge gets quite a few walkers, even you could not find one in your sight, it would be the best place for you to clean out your mind and soak up the poetic atmosphere, in addition, you would be in a better mood to appreciate such heavenly scene. Secondly, If you are a big fan of B bridge, I won't tell you this is the best place to view the B bridge, how could you take photos for the B bridge when you over it??? Then, you could take how many selfies you want, there are plenty of spaces for you selfies stick. And go find a perfect position for your digital SLR camera to captures the most historical scene and the time, in the meantime, you don't have to be distracted by someone who was "converting" your place. Lately, there are a lot of graffiti about criticism and inspiration and so forth, some of them are pretty cool, I felt like I was walking on a Brooklyn street of the time. M bridge could lead us to the Chinatown, it is always a fun thing to do that tuck in some dumplings and grab some Chinese takeaways. Those pleasant memories about Manhattan Bridge I would bear all of them in the back of my mind for good. read more

I walked Olive across this bridge once on a trek from Brooklyn Heights to SoHo. I far prefer taking the Brooklyn Bridge, because the cars travel below the pedestrian footbridge, and thus there's less noise. Here, pedestrians are on the same level with the cars and trucks, meaning you get an earful of noise and a noseful of exhaust fumes. I can put in ear plugs, but Olive can't, and she freaks at loud noises anyway. I didn't see anyone wearing one of those green masks, surprisingly enough; it's something I would have done if I had had the foresight. So from a pedestrian's point of view, even though there are far more [expletive] tourists--this bridge is usually far less crowded--I'd say I far prefer walking on the Brooklyn bridge. If I think of an advantage to walking on this one, I'll post it. read more
