Brooklyn Bridge / Manhattan Bridge


The Manhattan Bridge with the Empire State Building in the background.


The lower Manhattan skyline with the Twin Towers missing.


The Brooklyn Bridge, one of the oldest suspension bridges in America, was completed in 1883. The designer, a German immigrant, died during the construction, taken over by his son, who became ill due to the construction, and the project was finished by his son's wife.

This area is called DUMBO -- Down Under Manhattan Brdge Overpass, filled with small restaurants and shops.
