The real place
The Brooklyn Bridge opened in 1883 and was the longest suspension bridge in the world at the time; its two granite and limestone towers with pointed Gothic arches are its signature. The Brooklyn end comes down in DUMBO, next to Fulton Ferry Landing and Brooklyn Bridge Park, where this photo was taken.
Visiting
Walk the bridge from Manhattan towards Brooklyn so the skyline is behind you when you turn around, then come down into DUMBO. Pier 1 in Brooklyn Bridge Park has the best view of the tower from below, and Washington Street from the Manhattan Bridge map is a short walk away.
