Brooklyn Heights Promenade

I am in love with it. I am not here as often as I used to, but it is still one of the best ones. I am happy when I do find time. Usually weekends.

Went for a stroll along Brooklyn Heights Promenade on Saturday afternoon. A wonderful trail and park, which I just wish was longer.

Quality: Wonderful views of lower Manhattan along this path. When wandering around this neighborhood, you will inevitable stumble upon the park and want to return whenever in the area. Plenty of places to sit and relax and just take in the city.
Quantity: Not a very large park, but always more seats than people.
Value: Free to visit.
Ambiance: Brooklyn Heights Promenade is a walking trail and path that runs above Brooklyn Bridge Park along the East River. It is not particularly long, but it has tons of seats for people to sit and look out over the water at lower Manhattan. It is also very shady, so a nice spot when it gets too warm to be in the less protected Brooklyn Bridge Park.
Crowd: Always busy and filled with people exercising and walking dogs.
Service: Clean and well taken care of.
Parking: Limited nearby parking, but it can be found.

Really beautiful place to stroll. Great views of the city. Close to soccer fields, beach volleyball courts, and basketball courts. Places to grill by the water and enjoy a picnic. Public restrooms available by the water as well.

I think I am discovering my inner Alvy Singer, exploring every romantic spot in New York City. The promenade is no exception.

Standing tall above Brooklyn Bridge Park, this romantic walkway really hugs the East River, and it really brings out the best in Brooklyn outside of the Coney Island amusements. Whether it is the holiday season, or the height of summer, strolling this just feels like a New York thing to do. There is the all the sights to take in, like the Statue of Liberty, the major crossings like the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges, Lower Manhattan, the New York Harbor, it just feels like a walking postcard.

Because of the ice, I was unable to walk too far on it, but that is going to change. Once I get a nice day, I am going to make it a point to visit and explore more New York parks. This one is included on the list, along with the aforementioned park below the promenade.

Yes, it is subway accessible. The 2/3, the R, and the 4 each can get you here. Then just take it all in and enjoy the day.

Brooklyn Heights has a nice place for walking around. It has a promenade along the East River. This goes one for more than a mile, between the overpriced apartments and the river. Looking across the is one of the best parts. There's lots of cool views.

Good place to sit and relax and just enjoy. It has a long path along the river. This has some benches facing the river. It sometimes gets crowded. There isn't much grass by the looks of things. It's more of a path than a park. There's plenty of space so you can get some exercise in without taking up any space.

It certainly is the best way to see the river in Brooklyn. Lots of things to admire about it. There's beautiful and plentiful skyline views.

I spent all my money in Brooklyn, so now I'm in Brokelyn Heights instead.

The Brooklyn Heights Promenade is actually one of the most highly regarded things on Yelp, and that's because everybody absolutely loves it. It's got great views of Lady Liberty and of Manhattan and of everything really.

As a-ha once sang, the Manhattan Skyline is incredible, and this is one of the best places to see it from.

You're only allowed to walk in here, no driving or cycling or shiz. It's next to the BQE so you can expect lots of traffic.

Now of course this is a wonderful place to bring a date, and that wonderful place to come and reflect and take pictures and all that stuff. It's magical. It really is.

I absolutely love the Brooklyn Heights Promenade. It's easily the most scenic spot in the borough, providing picture-perfect views of the Manhattan skyline, the East River, and the Brooklyn Bridge. The Promenade also overlooks Brooklyn Bridge Park, which offers an additional destination to relax and appreciate the vantage points along the waterfront.

The pedestrian walkway stretches nearly two thousand feet (1,826 to be exact), and while much of it is a flat, elevated platform, it actually consists of four stories. Despite the somewhat confusing topography, the Esplanade is certainly walkable. It can get crowded, but there's usually enough space for social distancing, and I've never felt uncomfortably close to others.

There are several benches lining the path, and people make good use of them, whether they're reading, conversing over coffee with a friend, or just sitting and enjoying the view.

Oddly, although the Promenade is built over the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, the noise doesn't ruin the calm, reflective atmosphere. If anything, it's a reminder that these peaceful places exist amid the hustle and bustle of everyday life in New York City.

This is one of my favorite places to walk.

I love the views here. It is always a peaceful place, although there always seem to be a lot of people here. Parking in this area is super tricky too. Watch out for all of the "no parking signs."

Once you get to the promenade though, it is such a great place with amazing views of the city and the water.

I'd highly recommend this place!

My absolute favorite spot to relax and meditate. The views are amazing, it's quite peaceful and chill. You can easily lose track of time just admiring the views. Perfect for site seeing with views of the Manhattan Skyline, Brooklyn Bridge, and Lady Liberty in the distance. There are plenty of benches for seating and enough space to socially distance. Definitely check it out!

I imagine my date took me here because he wanted me to fall in love. I fell in love, but not with him. With here, The Promenade.

You'll have to be here. Experience it yourself. No words. It's like I was a part of something but apart from everything.

I'm lost.

He held my hand, I allowed him to. Well everyone (couples) were doing it and I didn't want him to feel left out. I wish I was alone here, to just breathe....

The End.
