Brooklyn Heights

The Guide

The Promenade at dusk — Manhattan performs, and Brooklyn gets the good seats.

Brooklyn Heights is where New York started keeping things. America's first historic district, it has the brownstones you picture when you picture Brooklyn — Federal, Greek Revival, Italianate — lining streets that feel unchanged for a century. The Promenade gives you an unobstructed panorama of the Manhattan skyline and Brooklyn Bridge that no photograph has ever done justice.
