Known to be Manhattan's "best" bedroom community, Brooklyn Heights has become a premiere tourist attraction. A visit to the Heights has become as much of a "must see" as a stop at the Empire State Building. Sunsets on the Brooklyn Heights Promenade rival a visit to Victoria Peak in Hong Kong. The Promenade's enchanting environs is drawing people to its varied architecture -- beautiful wood homes built by sailing captains, brownstone mansions, and carriage houses galore. The Fulton Ferry State Park, located directly underneath the Brooklyn Bridge, is set to become the linchpin of the new Brooklyn Bridge Park as its renovation is nearly complete. (click here for QTVR of the park and its view.). With plans underway for a massive park from the Manhattan Bridge to Atlantic Avenue, this area contains unused piers and land that could become a world class park with unparalleled views of lower Manhattan and the NY Harbor. The new pier at the foot of Cadman Plaza is a draw for both tourists and wedding parties.
