NaySeptember 22, 2015I used to work on court street and this was my spot! Every time I go back home to BK, I end up here. This is the first time I took a pic of a sunset. Love the promenade. Best place to whoosah.
New York HabitatOctober 21, 2011One of the best views of Manhattan and the Brooklyn Bridge. This long path is perfect for a romantic walk after dinner, just don't forget to stop and gaze at the beautiful NYC skyline.- Fodor's TravelSeptember 9, 2015Find a bench and take in the skyline, the Statue of Liberty, and the Brooklyn Bridge; the setting is especially impressive in the evening, when the lights of Manhattan sparkle across the East River.

Turkish AirlinesDecember 15, 2015Prepare yourself for killer views of Manhattan, as you take a walking tour around the charming Brooklyn Heights neighbourhood!
TingJuly 27, 2015Come here closer to sunset to avoid the blinding sun in your face. But guess from the number of visitors, many don't mind.
Best spot to watch the sun set against the New York City skyline.
Michelle CMay 31, 2016Bring a book and a camera. The view of the Manhattan skyline is beautiful and there is ample seating for a relaxing afternoon.

[Princess]August 28, 2013Spectacular view of Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridge, especially at night. Perfect place to take a stroll or ponder. Of course, don't forget to bring your camera!
Rod GrayAugust 19, 2018Lower Manhattan skyline - great during the day, spectacular and romantic by evening and night. A pretty good place to pick-up people if you are a fellow dog owner
Scott KleinbergMay 15, 2016This wasn't my favorite view, but it's a very nice view. Be sure to get down to Brooklyn Bridge Park to see the rest/more.
Maria MontesanoJuly 13, 2016Love the views on the harbor here. You can see the Brooklyn Bridge, Statue of Liberty, Staten Island Ferry, Chysler Building and many more sites.
Favorite place to walk and sit and read if it's nice.
Lisa SchreibmanApril 22, 2022Even with the new park below, the Promenade is the best place to have lunch when working on Downtown BK. Enjoy the view!
Enjoy this breathtaking view in the morning as well as before and after sunset. There might be no better place to spot the Financial District skyline.
Kirill KukuruzaJuly 17, 2016I think this is my favorite place all over NYC. Amazing view o the Financial District
Hotel IndigoAugust 19, 2013Cinephiles remember this promenade from such films as Annie Hall and Moonstruck, while history buffs may recall that George Washington chose this spot to watch the Battle of Brooklyn.
Gnossos PappadopoulisAugust 27, 2018Best view of downtown Manhattan! Quiet, usually not too crowded. Great neighborhood!- Dave DawsonSeptember 12, 2013Take a stroll along the promenade to enjoy the views. Then walk into Brooklyn Heights and stumble into a delicious restaurant. They're not hard to find.
CompassApril 21, 2014Stroll, run, or grab a seat here for soaring views of the lower Manhattan skyline, Statue of Liberty, and Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridge.
Leigh Anne ZinsmeisterJuly 21, 2015Great views of the city! One of my favorite spots to settle in with a book at sunset. But BRING BUG SPRAY.
HectorDecember 19, 2015Incredibly beautiful and luxurious apartments on this nice walk along the river with continuous unobstructed views of Manhattan and the Brooklyn Bridge
Lola OJuly 5, 2013Best views of downtown Manhattan. Complete unadulterated views and gets even better as you follow the path down to Brooklyn Bridge Park. #totalbliss
Charles PetkanasDecember 4, 2012Spectacular views of the lower East River and the lower Manhattan skyline! Extraordinary views at night.
Grab a hot bagel, an iced coffee and enjoy the view. Just watch out for the little birdies trying to take your food.
Ameike GreenJune 12, 2014Bring your camera or make space in your phone. Great place with amazing views of Manhattan, the Brooklyn Bridge & water ways.
Jessie MiñoJune 30, 2015Go here right before sunset to catch amazing views of Manhattan and the sun's rays grazing the Hudson River
A KMay 24, 2015whatever they're constructing on the riverside killed the scene. the promenade is still lovely but it's so sad to see that the amazing view it once has is now limited by an ugly construction/building.
One of my favorite places in NYC. I often come here to think while enjoying the Manhattan skyline. Best at night!
Jose Rodriguez ColonJanuary 20, 2013Amazing place for walking, jogging or walking with family and the dog... Once you take a walk on the promenade you will be inspired
This is by far the most peaceful park in BK! Best when with your Significant Other, on a late night. Make you both bring a sheet x lots of love while you lay and watch the stars, & the AMAZING view!
CRUZiiiEOctober 10, 2015This a great summer spot-- now filled with lots of options for kids like a skating rink & pool.
Marina BuritySeptember 12, 2015Very pleasant place to walk and watch Manhattan's skyline. Walk around the streets behind it too.
Dear Visitors on the Promenade - this will be the FIFTH year the fireworks are not on the East River.. stop expecting them to be visible from here! #ReadTheNewspaper
Arjumand BonhommeMay 21, 2017The view is fantastic! The southern end of the promenade starts at Montague Terrace & Remsen St.
Nate TAugust 8, 2015Some of the best views of Manhattan. Even better than Brooklyn bridge park. Enter on Montague.
The Corcoran GroupJanuary 6, 2012With out a doubt, the best place to sit with a cup of coffee and the one you love and enjoy the most spectacular views of Manhattan.
Gajendra DeshmukhFebruary 23, 2016Greatest view of Manhattan, also try the Staten Island Ferry (Cost = Free).
Don't be afraid to visit on a really foggy day. It's pretty amazing to watch the fog burn off and reveal the city's buildings.
Marc MayerMarch 4, 2015Best view of the city. And of the apartment building from The Sentinel. That movie was nutty.
Great for strolls and people watching with an amazing view across the river
The view of NYC that is in your dreams as you always want the city to be. Magical at night and at sunset.
