Walking the Brooklyn Bridge

We will be staying in TImes Square (I hope all of you native NY%26#39;ers realize what fun it is to stay in the middle of the hustle and bustle ot TS when you live in a quiet, rural area-its apparently not for everyone, but we LOVE it!!!)

Can anyone briefly outline the easiest way for us to get to Brooklyn so that we can walk back to Manhatten across the bridge? And when we do get to Brooklyn, what do you recommend we see before coming back across the bridge?

Thanks so much!

Walking the Brooklyn Bridge

The easiest way to get to Brooklyn is to take the subway. From Times Square I would take the #2 or #3 to Clark Street, although there are other lines and station you may use as well. Here is an earlier post I did on this question:

Before coming back, you should stroll around lovely Brooklyn Heights, and see the view from the spectacular Promenade. There are also nice places to eat in the Heights, especially on Montague Street.

Walking the Brooklyn Bridge

I agree with Greenwhiteblue. Walk the promenade in Brooklyn Heights for sure. ALso consider walking down under the bridge through DUMBO (';Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass';), a funky artsy warehouse neighborhood with furniture stores like West Elm. Go to Jacques Torres chocolate and get some dark chocolate bark and their famolus truffles (you can look up the Brooklyn store online) and walk to a wonderful park that is directly underneath and between the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges. You can get lunch in that neighborhood, too.
