I’ve Seen The Sights From Brooklyn Heights
After my walk around Brooklyn Bridge Park Tuesday afternoon, I strolled through a few of the nearby neighborhoods. I’ve always loved Brooklyn Heights. It’s south of the Brooklyn Bridge and has a park called The Promenade, which is primarily a long terrace above the East River with an unobstructed view of lower Manhattan. I hadn’t been there in a long (LONG) time, and was happy to find it as beautiful as I remembered. There were less than 10 houses in the “neighborhood” in the very early 1800s. Then, nearby steam ferry service in 1814 transformed Brooklyn Heights into the first of Manhattan’s “commuter suburbs.” Many of the houses pictured date back to the early 1800s.

One of my favorite shows from the ’60s. It was set in Brooklyn Heights. They shot some scenes right on the Promenade, but most neighborhood scenes looked like suburban Long Island (or Los Angeles).
