Thank you so much

[@poisonedivysaur]

I once took a picture at the Promenade that I still can't believe I got. It was sunset and the sky was cut in half because of the skyline. No photoshop or editing just pure nyc.

[@HereBeBarr]

Such a hidden gem

[@allforthewinner]

It sucks.

[@loveaodai100]

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!

Wow, thanks

[@dorisq9241]

Thank you for the insider tips and the charming neighborhoods we get to witness. Thank you for all you do and for entertaining us!

[@mfparkison]

Just returned from our first ever NYC vacation and had a wonderful time. We watched almost all of your videos before the trip and were so thankful that we did. Brooklyn Heights was my favorite of all the things we did. Thank you so much for what you do!!

[@OldBethelite]

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!

[@backpacksash4866]

We we're there yesterday. It is beautiful, the weather was the best day of the week and it's great to let the hustle of Manhattan behind and enjoy this beautiful neighborhood in Brooklyn.

[@jawlig]

Hey man, I am due to visit NY in a few weeks and your videos are helping build my plans for what to do. Very grateful for this 😁

[@mingle27]

Rob i wanted to say thanks for all the tips and tricks. Got back from my trip Thursday -hasn't been in NYC for 10 years. This was my 4th trip. I put a lot of bookmarks on my map because of you and I also utilized Khonsu. If it hadn't been for seeing that in one of your videos I wouldn't have known that a service like that exist that isn't ridiculously priced. The team over there is really something special and between them and you had the best trip and possibly a few of the best days I've ever had.

[@johnoleary148]

Once again thanks for making us aware of another area of New York that many people including myself have not visited. I have been six times but never ventured over here. Will make note and check it out if I can. Looks an interesting area of Brooklyn to explore.

[@christophermoody1448]

Mr. O'Leary, if you get a chance, visit DUMBO and Park Slope. I think that you'll like both places.

[@elizabethhamilton1166]

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.

[@pf7746]

Nice spot. I lived in Dumbo for just over a year but only really discovered Brooklyn Heights in the last few months, when I expanded my running route to include it. Grace Court would be a lovely place to live.

[@deniseg812]

My parents honeymooned at the Bosert, quite a high end hotel in the 40s

[@dylantheblond1953]

This looks like such a cute neighborhood to just walk and explore! I’ll be staying in LIC this upcoming March and have been meaning to explore more of the outer boroughs, so I’ll defs have to make this a stop!! Thanks again as always Jon and congrats to you and Adriana on the baby at home!

[@HereBeBarr]

Thanks!!

Also check Carol Gardens

[@Meghan0110]

So happy to see you feature Dellarocco's! This is my neighborhood, and they're my go to pizza place. The pesto pizza there is incredible too.

[@sharifchi]

Adding Dellarocco's to my Brooklyn list. I've walked around Brooklyn Heights several times, love it! Took some great sunset photos on the Promenade in July too! Beautiful!

[@robertbl7500]

Hi 👋 Wow, thanks so much for exploring this area! What a truly majestic neighborhood! I need to go and explore it! ✌️

[@diannefaith7866]

Thank you Jon, this video was very educational! When I visit NYC again, I definitely will walk on this promenade 😊

This is so going on my next to do list when I return to NYC. I've only scratched the bottom on my first visit this year.

[@therealhannahlee]

Ross & I lived in a tiny studio 2 blocks back from the promenade for our first 2 years in NYC! We decided we needed more space and had to move, but I miss living there a lot. Brooklyn Heights is one of my favorite neighborhoods!

[@HereBeBarr]

That’s some prime real estate

Hi, I am just LOVIN your channel. I came across it going through cooking channels. Cuz I so enjoy watching and learning from cooking channels. Whether Prof Chef, Home Chef or just a Mom. I learn loads with them from authentic cooking, to sheet pan meals, casseroles, one pot meals, airfryer meals, & so on & so on. With your channel, I am so very INSPIRED to go and see the sites, try many different foods (street foods in particular). Sooo many spots I want to try. For the food and sites I cannot wait to see. I see NYC in a whole new light. THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing!!! Arlene

My grandparents lived there from the 1960s up until 2000. Back before the explosion happened and the prices went to craziness. It was such a relaxing neighborhood to be in and enjoy. I was born at Brookdale Hospital. Miss Brooklyn every day.

One tip, I have been there on a week day and on a saturday because I wanted to visit the DUMBO Flea Market. There´s a different vibe on saturday but I would definitely recommend going on a week day. Saturday it's way too crowdy!

[@TheBingBuzz]

So true, definitely not the neighborhood you want to skip, perfect brownstones on every street :)

We are going to NYC in May and because of this video I booked a place in Carroll Gardens for a week (couldn't find anything suitable in BH) it will be a very quick walk to the promenade & should be easy to explore BH from I hope. Thanks for the video.

[@madiha.g]

Thank you for another awesome video will definitely check out Brooklyn heights! Please make more videos on NY in Fall thanks god bless you brother

[@HaleyMary]

I love how all the sidewalks are still visible and the leaves are still on the trees. Just got the first snowfall in Saskatchewan yesterday and spent today shoveling snow. 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.

[@user-xl9xw5of3x]

When I lived in Brooklyn the Promenade was easily my favorite place to go to. And now when I visit I'm so happy that most people go below to the BB park because I prefer the Promenade not to be so crowded especially in the evening.

[@phantastik3389]

The Promenade was the place I always used to go when I needed to clear my mind. Can't wait to see again when I move back home.

Brooklyn looks like a really cool place to live,you are so lucky,its looks like you have all the thrills of living in a big global city like NYC but with that intimate neighbourhood feel.Marilyn Monroe sadly said in one of her interviews that she would just love to just go and live and get a place in Brooklyn as it seemed she found it comforting and real and down to earth in some way and an antidote to the Hollywood film industry maybe ?!!

Omg Williamsburg is so so different now!!! I grew up there

[@susanrike7476]

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.

Born in BH, moved to Park Slope in my late 20’s, moved back in my 30’s, now I live in DC.
