A Well-Worn Treasure of New York
Posted by Doug in Travel at 10:56 am New York offers many adventures, and sometimes tourists forget about the simple, free adventures that will make them appreciate this city full of millions of pulsating individuals. I’ve been to Manhattan and to several boroughs many times before, but I’ve never bothered to take the opportunity to walk along the historically famous Brooklyn Bridge, a bridge that connects a deeply rich Italian culture with all the grid bindings lit up Las Vegas like and covers some of the City’s most infamous streets. Usually, my hotel choice, which I booked on this site: http://www.smallhotelsnewyork.com, is not near the bridge, but this time I did not let that stop me.
The bridge is approximately 2 miles long and lends any photographer, either amateur or professional, the ability to capture a moment in which separates them from the land and water; by merely setting a foot down on the stone facade and wonderfully detailed mason work that is the Brooklyn Bridge.
As I finally walked along this fantastic structure, I had an occasional sight of the seedier sub-culture of discord, disgust and disdain, which the gutters of New York hide well. The landscape kept me moving onward and I successfully reached my desired location, a pizzeria that has homemade ice cream; what would Brooklyn be without New York-style pizza and a side of ice cream? There wasn’t a table available for just one person, and there were many patrons who pushed tables together to fix their party of 6 or more. Fortunately, there was a little spot up by the counter that a waiter fixed up for me, a party of one, but that was after a wait of 45 minutes. The joint was packed with a good representation of all the ethnic cultures that is New York. That’s when I knew I was in the right place. The wait was worth it, but stay away from the public washroom, it seemed like all of New York just had to use this one restroom today.
Back to the bridge for one more comment: It took me an hour to walk across the art bridge and I was in total awe and amazed at it survival of over 100 years and what stories it must have about the millions of beings who have stepped foot on her or drove across her without even noticing her grandeur. Brooklyn Bridge is the most exquisitely erected bridges that I’ve had the privilege of walking across.
