Strolling down Brooklyn Heights Promenade, you will bump into couples on first dates and wedding shoots. This is because it’s one of the most romantic spots in New York City. Walking north on the promenade’s boardwalk towards DUMBO, you’ll have a stunning view of Manhattan skyline on your left, and historic grand mansions on your right. The view of the skyline is also perfectly framed by Statue of Liberty on one side and the Brooklyn Bridge on the other. Keep heading north on the promenade (towards Brooklyn Bridge) and you’ll find yourself in many interesting spots including Brooklyn Bridge Park and DUMBO. When you’re done with the neighbourhood, consider walking across to Manhattan via the famous Brooklyn Bridge.
