When I read tha poem Brooklyn Bridge, I thought to watch that in you tube. When I watch that, the brodge, the river, the cycle rider, the neatness of the bridge, the moving of vehicles and you madam, everything is beautiful
Your tips are on point Jennifer! And that skirt is everything!!!

Loved this video! Such a beautiful bridge with spectacular views of NYC. Jen, you look amazing and your presentation was excellent. The videography and editing are great, so well done. The history of the bridge was very interesting. Another great video which I enjoyed so much. Thanks for all the helpful hints on walking the bridge and how to get there.

Looooove the walking the Brooklyn bridge ... one of my faves things to do when living in NYC 100% agree you gotta start from Brooklyn. But most tourist do it backwards
@Jenniferobrien
5 жыл бұрын
Yes so many people do it backwards you have to start from the Brooklyn side! Thanks for watching!
Excellent videography and editing. Great use of masking, timelapse, aerial footage and transitions! By far my favorite bridge in New York and I have walked and cycled across it numerous times. I still have to walk across it during sunrise though!

Ever since I first walked across the bridge (as she says, from Brooklyn to Manhattan!) I fell in love. Now I always do it whenever I visit NYC. Truly a national treasure!

Just watched Ken Burns' awesome 1981 Brooklyn Bridge documentary and clicking around to see how it looks today. Loved this. Jen is completely adorable and lifts your spirit; grinned the whole time 💕 thank you and keep being awesome
Very informative video! One of my favorite tip was the one where you said that one should start from the Brooklyn side as compared to the Manhattan side. I have walked over the Brooklyn Bridge on three different occasions when I visited New York and ALL three times I walked starting from the Manhattan side and had to keep on looking backwards to take photos or to see the skyline, so I said the next time I am there I will start from the Brooklyn side and here you came with this video. Thanks for all of the tips and info.
Beautiful photos in a wonderful bridge!
Great video and I really enjoyed all the awesome edits! Love it!

Hi Jessica , I also travel to NYC in May... maybe we will see us ;-) And Jennifer... thank you for this video. Greetings from Hamburg and a happy new year.
Great advice about direction. When I visited Sydney and walked across the harbour bridge I deliberately began at the North Sydney end (Milsons Point railway station) and walked south to Circular Quay in central Sydney. That way I could keep to the left side of the bridge, have a great view of the Opera House etc and not get in anyone's way. Interestingly bike riders have their own dedicated corridor on the other side of the Sydney Habour Bridge away from pedestrians, but unfortunately there are flights of steps on either side! Imagine climbing those with a bicycle on your way to work each day. :)

Hey, Jenn, Until recently I did not know this bit of family lore, but Franklin Edson, born in Chester, VT, as many of my forefathers were, was mayor of NY when the bridge was completed and was the first to walk over it.

Very nice, as always. I walked the bridge late last year. I took a taxi from Manhattan to the Brooklyn side, early weekday morning, and enjoyed the peace, skyline views right and left, minor graffiti and padlocks. I also managed to avoid the bicycle lane and, looking down, had a good view of the traffic directly below. My only failing was not wearing a red dress. Is it obligatory ?

You need to do an update to the bridge
It's a beautiful bridge. Some tips are very good, but many are just stating the obvious. You don't have to keep looking back. If you actually walk the bridge all the way to Brooklyn, you'll encounter the Manhattan views on your way back. Also, Brooklyn bridge is very worth seeing as you walk away from Manhattan.
Superb video - it's iconic bridge and well known all over the world - my only pet hate is the amount of graffiti people have done and damage to this much loved bridge.
