Brooklyn Heights is one of New York's oldest and most beautiful neighborhoods. This historic enclave of nineteenth century row houses was saved from bulldozing in the 1960s by local residents who rose up to have the entire neighborood landmarked. And thank goodness.

Its a great idea to buy a Gray Line open top bus pass and take advantage of the Brooklyn night tour which takes you through Brooklyn heights. The bu narrator was telling us that you couldn't walk alone here 20 years ago and now an apartment is $500k minimum, cool place and close to Manahattan.

If you have 'done' most of Manhattan, give Brooklyn a go. The Brooklyn Heights have wonderful architecture, boutique shops and interesting side-streets. You can see views of the docks, the Brooklyn Bridge and the Manhattan skyline from here too.

This is a nice part of Brooklyn to visit and to live.Take a day trip and visit the Brooklyn Botanic garden and then take the subway to Brooklyn Heights. Have lunch or dinner or better yet,coffee, lunch and dinner and then walk off the calories on the promenade!

On a beautiful sunny day, start from lower Manhattan and walk across the Brooklyn Bridge and have lunch in Brooklyn Heights. Go to the Promenade for one of the best urban views in America
