This was my first time walking across the Brooklyn Bridge. It sounds like such a daunting undertaking - walking across a bridge - but its quite simple really. There is a walking path and it takes less than an hour. Plus the view is stunning. All of Manhattan and Brooklyn, Governor's Island and the Statue of Liberty is all there and so close it seems you could touch it all. It was also great to see the new Brooklyn Bridge Park on the Brooklyn side finally open and packed with Saturday afternoon lounging. The park was created to further expand the green space in the city and to reclaim abandoned piers, lots and docks that lined the coast of the East River. Delightful and inspiring.
