Now more that ever, Brooklyn Heights is a prime tourist destination for new visitors, seasoned travellers and residents of the Tri-State area.
Here's a primer. Feel free to leave comments and suggestions below.
The Brooklyn Heights Promenade
Hatched as a compromise between the neighborhood and New York's master builder Robert Moses, the Brooklyn Heights Promenade opened to the public in October 1950.
The 1,826 foot long span is not only a testament to the tenacity of the Brooklyn Heights Association but also an homage to Hezekiah Pierrepont's 1820s vision of a vista point in Brooklyn to rival Manhattan's Battery. The site of Pierrpont's home "Four Chimneys" is now marked by a plaque at the Montague Street entrance to the Promenade.
The Promenade offers the most spectacular views of the New York City skyline. There are many comfortable benches to sit on and enjoy the view. Kids can play at the wonderful playground located at the Montague Street entrance.
