New York Things To Do: The Brooklyn Bridge crosses high over the East River between Manhattan and Brooklyn, and is one of the oldest suspension bridges in the United States. Take a drive across the bridge toll-free for sweeping views of the city, but a walk or bike ride gives visitors the most time to take it all in.
The bridge is a major part of the Manhattan skyline, and is often seen in movies, while the shores underneath the bridge have been the setting for rampant criminal activity in many films as well.
