Are you planning a vacation to New York City? Chances are you'll also be visiting Brooklyn, one of the five boroughs of New York City. Brooklyn is a diverse area of 2.5 million people packed into 71 square miles. Here's a short list of things to do in Brooklyn.
Walk across the Brooklyn Bridge
The Brooklyn Bridge connects Brooklyn to Manhattan. It's about 6 thousand feet in length and crosses over thew East River. It opened in 1883. Walking across the bridge, you'll have fantastic views of the East River and the Manhattan skyline.
South of Brooklyn Bridge is the Brooklyn Bridge Park. This park is a photographer's dream spot. You'll have a terrific view of the Brooklyn Bridge with the Manhattan skyline in the background. At night, the bridge and the skyscrapers are all lit up for the perfect photograph.
Enjoy the sights at Brooklyn Heights Promenade
Brooklyn Bridge Park isn't the only place in Brooklyn for a great photograph opportunity. Check out Brooklyn Heights Promenade, which has the perfect view of Manhattan. The promenade is a one-third mile stretch of platform right above the Brooklyn-Queens highway. It was just an add-on afterthought for the highway construction, but quickly became one of the most popular tourist attractions in Brooklyn. Natives to Brooklyn even come here to sit on a bench, read a book, and enjoy the views.
Over two centuries ago, George Washington and his men were standing at this very spot. The British Army was in pursuit. Washington and his soldiers managed to escape across the East River and make their way into the island now known as Manhattan.
The Brooklyn Bridge Park was originally a ferry landing. After the Brooklyn Bridge was constructed, ferry business quickly declined. The Friends of Fulton Ferry Landing organization turned this area into a park for the public.
Take the day off at Coney Island and go on a few rides
Coney Island is a beach, boardwalk, and collection of amusement parks. Before World War II, Coney Island was the most popular vacation spot in New York City. After the war, there was a steady decline to amusement park attendance. There are still quite a few classic rides you'll need to go on. This includes the Cyclone Roller Coaster, one of the oldest wooden coasters of the United States, and the Wonder Wheel, a 2,000 ton steel ferris wheel.
Relax at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden
The Brooklyn Botanic Garden provides a relaxing environment for anyone who needs it. It's a collective of plants and gardens which includes the Japanese Hill and Pond Garden, the Cranford Rose Garden, the Shakespeare Garden, and the Fragrance Garden. The Shakespeare Garden has plants which were mentioned in the works of Shakespeare. The Fragrance Garden was created specifically for the vision impaired. Garden visitors can rub the leaves between their fingers to smell its fragrance.
Take a Brooklyn Bus Tour
Tired of planning a whole trip? Consider relaxing and taking a bus tour. There's no need for looking up directions or reading about Brooklyn's history on your own. Instead, just hop on a bus and let the operators do their jobs. Tours usually cover Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Fulton Mall, Prospect Park, and the Grand Army Plaza. They can last from two hours to six hours.
