Attractive Point of Brooklyn Bridge

New York City has many famous places. One of the most impressive places I have visited is the Brooklyn Bridge. This bridge connected Manhattan and Brooklyn and was completed in 1883. It’s approximately 1834 meters long. It is also the first suspension bridge in the world to use steel wire cables, also known as “steel herbs,” a distinctive wire. It is said to be very artistic and beautiful.


When I visited here, I also liked this bridge because of its design and retro look. First of all, the lower level is a road, and the upper level is walkable and on the ground is a wooden deck. Also, the Brooklyn Bridge offers a night view of Manhattan. It seems as if the lights of skyscrapers and buildings are shining like jewels. It is also a good point to see the Brooklyn Bridge illuminated from Brooklyn Bridge Park. 

In addition, there are trendy cafes and marketplaces near the bridge. At the cafes, visitors can enjoy a cup of coffee or a sandwich while viewing the Brooklyn Bridge. The Brooklyn Bridge has been used in movies and dramas. This means that the bridge is very famous. In fact, I was impressed by it when I walked on it. 

For these reasons, the Brooklyn Bridge is my favorite and the most impressive of all the popular places in New York City.
