Brooklyn Bridge
When this mile-long landmark was completed in 1883, it held two noteworthy distinctions: It was the first structure to span the East River, as well as the longest suspension bridge in the world. While those accolades no longer apply, the crossing is still one of the city’s finest sights. It’s best seen on foot: Start on the Brooklyn side, where construction began in 1870, and pause to admire the Gothic archways as well as the views of Governors Island, the Statue of Liberty and the iconic skyline as you make your way to Manhattan. Enter at Cadman Plaza East near Prospect Street, Dumbo (nyc.gov).
