Private Walking Tour: Brooklyn Bridge and DUMBO

Overview

From a city of 30, 000 people at the time of the Revolution, New York City's population mushroomed to over a million eighty years later. The rise of the Brooklyn Bridge, the longest suspension bridge in the world at the time, represented the city bursting onto the world stage. After the great bridge rose out of the depths of the river floor to tower over the booming metropolis. Just three short years later the Statue of Liberty would rise in the harbor, and steel frames would allow buildings to reach for the stars, but it all started with the Brooklyn Bridge.

I was worried this walk would make my feet hurt, but it didn't. The walk has regular stops for rest and to get a short history lesson which was great. The guide was full of interesting info about the bridge, its construction, and the associated graft/politics. In DUMBO, we got even more history and advice on where to get the best NY pizza. There are loads of people hawking water and souvenirs on the bridge, so it's easy to get some trinkets on the tour. We booked via getyourguide.com
