You’ll be able to take pictures of the bridge, the perfect Manhattan skyline, or the juicy mango slices that you bought as a snack from the vendor near the top of the bridge! If you’re at the Brooklyn Bridge, also be sure to check out DUMBO — this cute neighborhood offers a cobblestone road with a perfect view of the Manhattan Bridge.
