What People Are Saying About Brooklyn Heights Promenade

In Short – While families frequent the three nearby playgrounds during the day, dusk brings out the couples in full force. Joggers, parents with strollers, tourists and proud New Yorkers all share space on benches. Even the fumes from the BQE beneath the promenade seem to fade away against this splendid backdrop. Try not to be jealous: The lucky occupants of the ivy-covered townhouses--author Norman Mailer among them--get to enjoy the view 24 hours a day.

A spectacular view all seasons
by magicloop2009 at Citysearch
Boats, ships, and water taxui's pass by. Located right on top of the BQE highway.......... It streches for 6 long blocks. You can see fireworks occasionally and spectuacular sunsets every night. You can see the statue of liberty towards the northwest direstion. The Brooklyn Bridge can be seen in the distance. You can watch cars and taxi's pass by. Perfect for a romantic date, or a walk for the dog, or getting out for fresh air. Clubs, pubs, and Bars are nearby along with resturants and cafe's.
- Pros: Sunsets, lights, skyscrapers, towers, bridges, ships
- Cons: Winter snow causes visibilities for the skyline

My long-time love & I always visit the Promenade after dinner or a movie. It's the perfect place to catch up or just to sit and enjoy the view of the city.
