NYC Travel Guide: How to Walk Across the Brooklyn Bridge

[@jeevansellam2480]

When I read tha poem Brooklyn Bridge, I thought to watch that in you tube. When I watch that, the brodge, the river, the cycle rider, the neatness of the bridge, the moving of vehicles and you madam, everything is beautiful

[@jordanrockwell]

Ever since I first walked across the bridge (as she says, from Brooklyn to Manhattan!) I fell in love. Now I always do it whenever I visit NYC. Truly a national treasure!

[@mariaandbryan]

Looooove the walking the Brooklyn bridge ... one of my faves things to do when living in NYC 100% agree you gotta start from Brooklyn. But most tourist do it backwards

[@Jenniferobrien]

Yes so many people do it backwards you have to start from the Brooklyn side! Thanks for watching!

[@ActionKid]

Excellent videography and editing. Great use of masking, timelapse, aerial footage and transitions! By far my favorite bridge in New York and I have walked and cycled across it numerous times. I still have to walk across it during sunrise though!

[@Jenniferobrien]

Thanks so much really appreciate that you noticed all this! Yes it’s a stunning bridge and you have to go at sunrise, so stunning!

Loved this video! Such a beautiful bridge with spectacular views of NYC. Jen, you look amazing and your presentation was excellent. The videography and editing are great, so well done. The history of the bridge was very interesting. Another great video which I enjoyed so much. Thanks for all the helpful hints on walking the bridge and how to get there.

[@Jenniferobrien]

Happy to share and so glad you loved it thanks so much!

[@florymha]

I took a guided tour of the Brooklyn Bridge about 2 yrs ago. Lots of history in that bridge. Pretty amazing... enjoyed the tour...

[@mariaandbryan]

Your tips are on point Jennifer! And that skirt is everything!!!

[@Jenniferobrien]

Agreed I love this skirt! Need to wear it in more videos! :)

[@FoodandFootprints]

Great tip on walking from the Brooklyn side to the Manhattan side. Can also walk the Manhattan Bridge to Brooklyn and then walk across the Brooklyn Bridge back to Manhattan

[@Jenniferobrien]

Yes great point wonder how long that would take!

[@tonymmm2850]

Hi Jennifer, and yes I went the opposite way, but I went midweek, a nice straight level walk and great views, a tourist must do thanx

[@Jenniferobrien]

Yes a must do is right! Love it so glad you enjoyed your walk too!

[@mariannebehrens5838]

Loved your video. The red dress against the Brown/ gray bridge was a smart idea - perfect set up I will cross March 1st and hope I do not get rained out

[@plekka]

When I lived in Brooklyn I often walked across the bridge. Anytime before 9:AM was fine with less tourists and worst of all school classes both of whom were always wandering into the bike lane!

[@uliseslira577]

I love love your red dress it's so enchanting. ❤️

[@haseebm6509]

Very informative video! One of my favorite tip was the one where you said that one should start from the Brooklyn side as compared to the Manhattan side. I have walked over the Brooklyn Bridge on three different occasions when I visited New York and ALL three times I walked starting from the Manhattan side and had to keep on looking backwards to take photos or to see the skyline, so I said the next time I am there I will start from the Brooklyn side and here you came with this video. Thanks for all of the tips and info.

[@adamharford5099]

The guy on the camera is simply spectacular

[@Jenniferobrien]

Agreed, so glad you see the difference and love it too, he's so awesome at what he does, I definitely want to have him help me more on upcoming videos, thanks so much!

[@brandonburrell8517]

Great video. And the view from Brooklyn to Manhattan is truly better. Makes sense. It is, after all, the Brooklyn Bridge.

[@FernandoFloripa]

One of the best views in NYC 😍

[@Jenniferobrien]

Yes seriously the best views!

[@fofofofo3076]

Where are you from florida

[@billymuellerTikTok]

BEST view is to cross the Manhattan Bridge - less traffic, higher elevation and view of Brooklyn Bridge

[@ComradeStiv]

Just watched Ken Burns' awesome 1981 Brooklyn Bridge documentary and clicking around to see how it looks today. Loved this. Jen is completely adorable and lifts your spirit; grinned the whole time 💕 thank you and keep being awesome

[@dan5979]

That bridge is usually crowded. You filmed that at the perfect time

[@Jenniferobrien]

Yes so glad I got there early to film this! Best time without the crowds!

[@chanelmone4721]

Jennifer O'Brien best time right now during corvid ( less crowds and not much else to do outside )

[@AmitGupta-xe2jj]

Nice we are traveling next week...

Great video and I really enjoyed all the awesome edits! Love it!

Beautiful photos in a wonderful bridge!

[@FoodandFootprints]

Walking across the bridge at sunrise has to be an amazing experience! Great way to start the day

[@Jenniferobrien]

Yes seriously one of my favorite experiences of all time!

[@Krbpakistan2000]

Wow lovely information Jen. Loads of love x

[@sadenb]

It is a pretty great sight . One of my favorite places in NYC.

Walking across the bridge in style. Great video Jen! Your photos are just beautiful. Red is definitely your color. 🥰

[@Jenniferobrien]

Thanks! Love red so much! :)

[@2127EShelby]

Loved the video! Have walked it twice, back and forth. On the Manhattan side, the Brooklyn Bridge City Hall is the most convenient, clean restroom and has a great view of the bridge!

That red dress is popping!

[@ryder19]

Wow, another great video and very informative. Nice way to learn the rules for the Brooklyn bridge. That will definitely be on my to do list for when I visit next year. Such a sad history for such a beautiful bridge. Your photos look amazing. Kind regards, Michael

[@Jenniferobrien]

Thanks so much for watching and commenting! Yes it is a sad history for such a beautiful bridge, but definitely a must-visit spot! Thanks so much, appreciate it!

Awesome video on the bridge! Love the history! And you gave us a full video, not the abridged version! I'll have to walk it some time!

[@daviddelcloo2928]

Jennifer, thanks for the video on the bridge, we have been planning a crossing from Brooklyn to Manhatan and your 1st rule rpoves we were thinking right. The other rules will make our crossing better and your photo sights will help also.

[@Jenniferobrien]

Oh yay so happy to help and hope you have a wonderful visit! :)

[@jaymilan215]

Idk what’s more beautiful the view Or you! I Can go for both of yous! 😍

[@crispin8888]

Very nice, as always. I walked the bridge late last year. I took a taxi from Manhattan to the Brooklyn side, early weekday morning, and enjoyed the peace, skyline views right and left, minor graffiti and padlocks. I also managed to avoid the bicycle lane and, looking down, had a good view of the traffic directly below. My only failing was not wearing a red dress. Is it obligatory ?

[@Jenniferobrien]

Ah haha unfortunately you messed up it is obligatory! But you are forgiven!

[@milnanz7580]

Thank you for the tips Jen. This was really informative and helpful, will be visiting for the first time next week. You looked and did an awesome job.

[@luisespineira9882]

Great editing and photography of the bridge and skyline

[@Jenniferobrien]

Thank you so much really appreciate it!

[@FoodandFootprints]

Interesting that Roebling also designed a bridge in Cincinnati a few years before the Brooklyn Bridge that has some similarities

[@Jenniferobrien]

Oh wow I had no idea how cool! Need to google it!

[@zoomosis]

Great advice about direction. When I visited Sydney and walked across the harbour bridge I deliberately began at the North Sydney end (Milsons Point railway station) and walked south to Circular Quay in central Sydney. That way I could keep to the left side of the bridge, have a great view of the Opera House etc and not get in anyone's way. Interestingly bike riders have their own dedicated corridor on the other side of the Sydney Habour Bridge away from pedestrians, but unfortunately there are flights of steps on either side! Imagine climbing those with a bicycle on your way to work each day. :)

[@Jenniferobrien]

Wow that’s smart to separate the two but stairs sound annoying! I loved visiting it too when I went to Sydney didn’t do the climb on top of the bridge but maybe another day! :)

[@scoutandscooter]

Hey, Jenn, Until recently I did not know this bit of family lore, but Franklin Edson, born in Chester, VT, as many of my forefathers were, was mayor of NY when the bridge was completed and was the first to walk over it.

[@Jenniferobrien]

Oh wow didn’t know that thanks for sharing!

[@cinthia9602]

Very nice video. I would love to walk across that bridge one day.

[@NirmalSingh-l8u]

[@mariastaub9424]

It's a beautiful bridge. Some tips are very good, but many are just stating the obvious. You don't have to keep looking back. If you actually walk the bridge all the way to Brooklyn, you'll encounter the Manhattan views on your way back. Also, Brooklyn bridge is very worth seeing as you walk away from Manhattan.

[@user-us6ce7me8k]

[@tmat90-o8t]

Can one climb on the side of the bridge and sit on one of those rails above the cars? Is it illegal?

[@aviwinter4527]

What Would you recommend Brooklyn bridge or system island ferry ?

[@Jenniferobrien]

Oh both are similarly wonderful, depends which is closer to you and if it's a hot day Staten Island Ferry gives you extra breeze on the water, also Brooklyn Bridge can be very crowded especially at certain times, so depends on the photos and experience you're looking for, hope that helps!
