The Best Spot to Photograph Manhattan Skyline – From Brooklyn


Brooklyn Heights Is The Oldest Residential Neighborhood In Brooklyn And Its First Historic Preservation District. As Early As The 1700s, Rich Merchants And Sea Captains Built Mansions Here To Enjoy The City And River Views. The Promenade, Built In 1950 On An Elevated Platform, Was Designed To Eclipse A Major Highway – The Brooklyn-Quees-Expressway – Connecting The Adjoining Boroughs. Hiding Busy Traffic Lanes Beneath Helps Preserve The Charm Of The Neighborhood.
