The best view on the DUMBO side of the bridge. Catch the ferry there in the summer and have lunch at Shake Shack or under the archway of the bridge, where you can devour amazing food truck food!
Commute from Brooklyn to Manhattan (or vice versa)? Go by bike for an easy way to add more physical activity to your daily routine. There's convenient stations on both sides of Manhattan Bridge.
Good for getting over the river. Kept us out of the water. Didn't feel concerned it would fail at it's bridging task the entire journey across. Good bridge. Doesn't go to New Jersey: a plus.
Brooklyn Bridge gets busy, so the Manhattan Bridge is a good alternative. Spectacular views of the Brooklyn Bridge, Lady Liberty and Manhattan’ Skyline (do pick the South side of the bridge though).
A lot less busy than Brooklyn bridge and what's better is that you can see Brooklyn Bridge from it! Both meet very close Brooklyn side so walk across one and back on the other for the best time.
