Brooklyn Heights, from its perch on the East River waterfront, offers stunning views of the Manhattan skyline and the Brooklyn Bridge. The best spot to take in the view? Make your way to the popular 1,826-foot long Brooklyn Heights promenade, where families, joggers, and tourists all come together to enjoy the waterfront.
A walk through the beautiful streets of Brooklyn Heights is rewarding, too. Bordered by Atlantic Avenue to the south, Cadman Park and Court Street to the east, the East River to the west, and Old Fulton Street to the north, Brooklyn Heights has long been an affluent area of Brooklyn. The neighborhood is filled with historic brownstone buildings and charming residential blocks.
Brooklyn Heights is also home to the Brooklyn Historical Society Museum; the St. George Hotel, which was once New York City's largest hotel; and a large open air green market at Borough Hall, one of Brooklyn's largest transportation hubs.
