    When I read tha poem Brooklyn Bridge, I thought to watch that in you tube. When I watch that, the brodge, the river, the cycle rider, the neatness of the bridge, the moving of vehicles and you madam, everything is beautiful

    Loved this video! Such a beautiful bridge with spectacular views of NYC. Jen, you look amazing and your presentation was excellent. The videography and editing are great, so well done. The history of the bridge was very interesting. Another great video which I enjoyed so much. Thanks for all the helpful hints on walking the bridge and how to get there.

    Excellent videography and editing. Great use of masking, timelapse, aerial footage and transitions! By far my favorite bridge in New York and I have walked and cycled across it numerous times. I still have to walk across it during sunrise though!

    Very informative video! One of my favorite tip was the one where you said that one should start from the Brooklyn side as compared to the Manhattan side. I have walked over the Brooklyn Bridge on three different occasions when I visited New York and ALL three times I walked starting from the Manhattan side and had to keep on looking backwards to take photos or to see the skyline, so I said the next time I am there I will start from the Brooklyn side and here you came with this video. Thanks for all of the tips and info.

    Very nice, as always. I walked the bridge late last year. I took a taxi from Manhattan to the Brooklyn side, early weekday morning, and enjoyed the peace, skyline views right and left, minor graffiti and padlocks. I also managed to avoid the bicycle lane and, looking down, had a good view of the traffic directly below. My only failing was not wearing a red dress. Is it obligatory ?

    Great advice about direction. When I visited Sydney and walked across the harbour bridge I deliberately began at the North Sydney end (Milsons Point railway station) and walked south to Circular Quay in central Sydney. That way I could keep to the left side of the bridge, have a great view of the Opera House etc and not get in anyone's way.
    Interestingly bike riders have their own dedicated corridor on the other side of the Sydney Habour Bridge away from pedestrians, but unfortunately there are flights of steps on either side! Imagine climbing those with a bicycle on your way to work each day. :)

    • @Jenniferobrien

    It's a beautiful bridge. Some tips are very good, but many are just stating the obvious. You don't have to keep looking back. If you actually walk the bridge all the way to Brooklyn, you'll encounter the Manhattan views on your way back. Also, Brooklyn bridge is very worth seeing as you walk away from Manhattan.

      Oh both are similarly wonderful, depends which is closer to you and if it's a hot day Staten Island Ferry gives you extra breeze on the water, also Brooklyn Bridge can be very crowded especially at certain times, so depends on the photos and experience you're looking for, hope that helps!
