The promenade is beautiful and a scenic view of NYC. Also Brooklyn Heights is a really beautiful historic neighborhood not to be missed. It looks alot like Beacon Hill in Boston and sort of like Greenwich Village in the city of Ny. More

The Brooklyn Heights Promenade had to have been one of the best surprises of our trip to NYC. We took the subway (#2 train) to the Clark St. station.

The view was better with the twin towers. It will never be the same. But the promenade is great and the historical houses in the area are amazing. More

I lived across the street from the promenade for a... More
