We then take a ferry to Brooklyn.
DUMBO – From the promenade, we will walk down to the ferry landing area and explore a small part of DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass). Once a manufacturing and industrial district, economic change sapped the area of its economic strength, leaving it large and vacant factory lofts as attractive destinations for artists starving for large and affordable living space. The neighborhoods unique urban landscape is the partially the result of being below two bridges, an interesting sight to see.

We walk across the bridge (1.6 miles), but we will be making plenty of stops to talk about the history and design of the bridge and to have the opportunity to capture scenic photographs of Manhattan, Brooklyn, and New York Harbor. The bridge lets out in on or Brooklyn s finest residential neighborhoods, filled with interesting people and architecture. Nicknamed America s first suburb, Brooklyn Heights will certainly amaze.

Lunch not included. We will stop at TimeOut Market Brooklyn
