The New York Diaries #6

Walking along the Brooklyn Bridge and exploring Brooklyn/Williamsburg was the original plan for day 6 – but before I headed to the other side of the river, I made a quick stop for breakfast at Egg Shop, which was recommended in Kate’s post. I had the Benedict cruiser and it was the most delicious thing ever. Totally worth the visit!

The experience of walking the Brooklyn Bridge was fantastic, it’s a beautiful piece of architecture and the view from the bridge back to Manhattan is incredible! I spent a lot of time in the Brooklyn Bridge Park just sitting down and admiring the view, which was really lovely and relaxing! I then walked around the surrounding area for a bit and headed to Williamsburg to look around for a short while. I wish I had a better idea of what to see and do in Brooklyn before I went, so that would be my main tip if you’re going there: research!

Atravessar a ponte de Brooklyn e explorar as zonas de Brooklyn/Williamsburg era o plano original para o 6o dia – mas antes de ir para o outro lado do rio, fiz uma paragem no restaurante Egg Shop (recomendado pela Kate) para tomar o pequeno almoço. Pedi o Benedict Cruiser que era delicioso. Vale mesmo a pena a visita!

A experiência de atravessar a ponte foi fantástica, tem uma arquitectura fantástica e a vista da ponte para Manhattan é incrível! Passei bastante tempo no parque por baixo da ponte, Brooklyn Bridge Park, só sentada a admirar a vista, o que foi muito agradável e relaxante! Depois andei um bocado na zona ali à volta e fui fazer uma curta visita a Williamsburg. Gostava de ter tido uma melhor ideia do que ver e fazer em Brooklyn antes de ter ido, por isso essa é a minha maior dica se lá forem: pesquisem!
