Hanging Out on the Brooklyn Bridge

A young woman has climbed onto a girder to strike a pose on the Brooklyn Bridge.

For people who have yet to visit New York City, I’d like to point out that the Brooklyn Bridge is actually a nice place to just hang out. The City encourages people to stay up there and relax — there are many benches on the bridge along the walkway. You can sit and look at the Manhattan skyline, look over the water, people-watch, pose for pictures, and gaze at the sunset (or sunrise if you get up early enough).

Of course, these benches fill up quickly on nice summer days and nights, so you’ll see lots of people just chilling on the steel girders.

If you’re looking for another spot to hang out with friends during your vacation here, consider the Brooklyn Bridge.
