Jersey Joe takes a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City and takes some funny photos along the way.
The Brooklyn Bridge opened in 1883 and features a pedestrian walkway above the road bed and subway lines. A popular spot for tourists, about 10,000 pedestrians cross the bridge every weekday.
THE 411
What: Brooklyn Bridge
Location: New York City, connecting Manhattan to Brooklyn
Year Opened: 1883
JERSEY JOE RECOMMENDS:
It’s a great, free, tourist attraction in the city. In all the years I’ve lived here, I never actually took a walk across. I definitely recommend that both tourists and locals do so. Just make sure you keep right. The bike lane is quite busy and New York City bikers are notorious for NOT obeying traffic rules.
