"The Brooklyn Heights Promenade, famously featured in Annie Hall, has incredible views of lower Manhattan, South Brooklyn, Staten Island and the Buttermilk Channel. On a sunny day you can bring your lunch, a book or a good podcast and enjoy the tranquility despite being right above one of the busiest highways in NYC. Alternatively, take a stroll at night to see Manhattan lit up - don’t forget your selfie stick! This public walkway has been serving residents and tourists alike since the 50’s and is Brooklyn’s own deck with a view. If you walk the entire length, you will exit at Brooklyn Bridge park or exit early from one of the many walkways and in find yourself in picturesque Brooklyn Heights." - This Also

"Sara Radin said she prefers food-centric dates or grabbing coffee and going on a walk around the Brooklyn Heights Promenade, and that researching a business’s Instagram beforehand is key since it can be hard to know which places have outdoor dining without calling." - Emma Orlow
"As the temps get warmer by the day, some of us are missing rooftop bar season more than ever, but luckily we all still have access to those views. And the view from the Brooklyn Heights Promenade is an absolute stunner. The downtown Manhattan skyline vantage is gorgeous—the Brooklyn Bridge, Freedom Tower, and 40 Wall Street in the foreground make an iconic assemblage, one that's particularly special at dusk when the periwinkle sky shimmers on the skyscraper surfaces."
