It opened in 1883, heralded as one of the most impressive bridges of the world, a functional work of art suspended over the turbulent East River connecting Manhattan and Brooklyn. Today, it is still among the world's greatest suspension bridges and a National Historic Landmark from which views of lower Manhattan are unequaled. Whether you are from New York or across the globe, a sunny afternoon stroll across the Brooklyn Bridge, holding hands and stopping for a smooch with Manhattan rising behind you, is one of the most memorable and romantic things you'll ever do in New York.
