Brooklyn Heights

In the early 1800s Brooklyn Heights became famous for its smooth and easy transportation into New York City via their renowned steam ferry. Now in 2008, it still maintains that reputation with its multiple subway lines into downtown Manhattan only minutes from Wall Street. Brooklyn Heights has a wide range of 19th Century architecture including Gothic Revivals, Greek mansions and Italian brownstones making it one of the most coveted areas in New York City. Vintage iron oxide clad sandstones have distinguished Brooklyn Heights amongst other neighborhoods.

With over 1,000 restaurants, markets and cafes to choose from you will never want to cook at home again. A wide variety of cuisine is available to suit even those with the most arbitrary appetite. After enjoying delectable cuisine head over to Brooklyn Heights main attraction: the 1,826 foot Promenade. This panoramic stretch offers views of the South Street Seaport, the East River, the Brooklyn Bridge and lower Manhattan. If you arrive before dusk, you will have the privilege of watching the majestic sunset behind the Manhattan skyline.
