In the middle of a world that is seemingly falling apart comes this video to remind us all that there is normalcy and beauty around us. This was one of the most enjoyable videos I have seen in quite a while. I was born and raised in NYC and lived the first 34 of my 68 years in the New York area but curiously never went to Brooklyn Heights. I am now living overseas and will definitely visit Brookyn Heights nest time I come to visit. Many thanks!

My parents lived in Brooklyn Heights. That's where they met in 1941. They lived on Grace Court at the Promenade end. It was a lovely neiborhood then but not expensive. During the war there were required blackout periods along the waterfront. My parents were married at Plymouth church.

Had the blessing of living on Columbia Hts. for nearly 3 yrs. in the 70’s. Hard to describe the unique sense of it - the neighborhood muffled the usual din of NYC, although it allowed in the distant hollow of harbor tug horns & the constant rumble of the BQE and the B. bridge. There was a certain feel of leather walking on blue-stone sidewalks while humming along with the warbling birds conversing 8 feet above you resting on the branches. The sight of following the arcs of the sun (both daily & seasonal) provided a tacit awareness of time by means of brownstone shadows. The occasions of savoring 10 cent 8 oz. glasses of tap beer at McGraths or grabbing a hero and a quart for less than a buck at the Plymouth sated the belly…and seemed to be the thing to do at the time. On the walk back west I could count on passing the Greeks playing dominos outside on their break from working at the St. George. When walking through Cadman Plz. I’d catch the whiff of the MTA drifting out the High St. entrance. Wow, great place, great memories - embedded!

I was born and raised in NYC. First, in Greenwich Village on Perry Street. Then, my parents moved to Brooklyn Heights (Montague Street) when I was 10. 1/2 block from the promenade. As much as I love Brooklyn Heights, my heart belonged to Greenwich Village where I continued to attend school. After college, my first apartment was in Brooklyn Heights (Joralemon Street). After a year, I moved to a lovely garden place in a Boerum Hill brownstone. Got priced out and returned to my Greenwich Village roots where I currently live. That said, Brooklyn Heights is gorgeous and a step back in time. Thanks for this lovely video! ❤❤ P.S. Other famous Brooklyn Heights residents include Norman Mailer, Arthur Miller, Rod Steiger, and others. Also, the iconic film, "Moonstruck," was filmed there.

I’m a Manhattan resident myself but I’ve owned property in Brooklyn Heights for years although I’ve been selling it off to buy properties in Florida where I plan to retire. BH is surely one of the nicest places to live in NYC (if you can afford it of course) and don’t let Manhattaners tell you otherwise. I started raising my family there, not far from the Miller house, and we were very happy during our years there. Then we moved to Midtown which is closer to the heart of things but we do miss the Heights from time to time. BTW, I’ve probably visited every major pizza joint in the 5 Burroughs and I can categorically state that the pizza at Dellarocco’s is in the top 3 in NYC. Very nice people run the place too. Appreciated this video.

I miss the warm weather already. That bridge looks like it has an amazing view of the city! I never knew Truman Capote lived in New York. I love the "Breakfast At Tiffany's" movie! That's awesome that they have a cat cafe in Brooklyn! There's a cat cafe in my city of Regina that costs $7 per person for 45 minutes. I haven't been there that often, though. I have two cats at home, so I feel like I'm already living in a cat cafe every time my cats bother me in the kitchen. That's cute that they have rats there, too. At least they seem friendlier than the rats people might encounter in the subway.

My friends of mine lived on Henry, Pierrepont, Montague Streets, Maiden Lane, and Columbia Heights back in the late 1980s to late 1990s and very early 2000s--when rents were very, very cheap (between $650.00 to $900.00 monthly) in some brownstones and 4-story buildings. Nowadays, the majority of those apartments are condos plus it's really expensive for people on a low-to-mid income to live there. In fact, on another KZbinr's channel [tomdnyc], he posted a vid sometime ago about the Towers Hotel Building was sold by the JWs and the company who bought the building is setting it up for some sort of affordable housing--whereby rents will be: $8,000.00/monthly! 😨😨 This ain't your grandmother's/mother's Brooklyn Heights anymore! 🤷♀🤷♀
