This afternoon I returned from a quick work trip to New York City. Despite visiting NYC more times than I can count, I have never really stepped foot off of Manhattan – that is until this trip. A colleague who now lives in D.C. but was raised in Brooklyn Heights suggested we grab dinner there.
We picked up an express train (can’t remember which) from Grand Central Station and were back above ground walking the tree lined streets of Brooklyn Heights in about 20 minutes. We ended up having a relaxing meal at Jack The Horse Tavern; I’ll write a bit more about that in a future post. After dinner we strolled down a few streets (even passing Cher and Olympia Dukakis home from the 80’s film, Moonstruck) to the Brooklyn Heights Promenade.
The Brooklyn Heights Promenade was really spectacular; filled with people walking, sitting, talking as well as friends, from all walks of life, making for fantastic people watching. The promenade also has spectacular views of the Manhattan skyline and off in the distance you can see this beautiful statue. If you’ve not visited, I’d recommend checking out Brooklyn Heights. The air is easier to breathe, the vibe more relaxed and the view is tough to beat.

The Brooklyn Heights Promenade offers exceptional views of ‘the city’.
