Stretching from Orange Street on the north to Remsen Street on the south, this 1/3-mi-long esplanade provides enthralling views of Manhattan. Find a bench and take in the view of the skyline, the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and the Brooklyn Bridge, the transcendently impressive steel suspension bridge designed by John Augustus Roebling and completed in 1883. The small island to your left is Governors Island, a former Coast Guard base whose future fate has not yet been determined. Below you is the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway and Brooklyn's industrial waterfront. Subway: 2, 3 to Clark St.; A, C to High St.
