'On the Brooklyn Bridge, an airplane can fly over a pedestrian who's walking over a car that's driving over a boat that's sailing over a train.' There is a pedestrian walkway over the top of the bridge that gives great views of the city. Get a cab to take you to the east end of the bridge. Walk back towards Manhattan over the raised walkway. The view of all the tower blocks on the sky line of Manhattan island is wonderful. It is worth while walking over the bridge at night to see all the twinkling lights. From the bridge you can see lower Manhattan, Governor's Island, The Verrazano Narrows Bridge, the Manhattan and Williamsburg Bridges, Roosevelt Island, Staten Island, the 59th St. Bridge and you will have a panoramic view of Brooklyn.
