Brooklyn Bridge
Stroll the promenade with the skyline behind you, buy original paintings from the street artist, collect fridge magnets, and argue with the seagulls.
The walk across the Brooklyn Bridge is a New York rite of passage. The Brooklyn side is still being built, so for now the bridge is all about the view, and the two best little shops in the city.
