Walking From Manhattan To Brooklyn And Back
By New York Minute Show on May 4, 2008 in Blog, Q & A
Henry from Poland sent me a question about my recent Brooklyn Bridge video.
I liked the post about the Brooklyn Bridge trip. It also made me think of a question to you. Is it possible to make a walking trip, crossing Brooklyn Bridge from Manhattan, walk up to Manhattan Bridge (my map shows it’s only a few blocks) and come back to the Manhattan borough using Manhattan Bridge.
You can most definitely do this. In fact, when you are walking across the Brooklyn Bridge from Brooklyn you see a sign for the Manhattan Bridge walking path as well. Based on the map below I estimate the distance of the trip to be about 2.5 miles, assuming your starting point is at City Hall in Manhattan.

Rob, thank you for such a quick reply. 2.5 miles doesn’t sound like too much, considering the sites one can see.
This walking trip is definitely going to find its way to my next year’s visit itinerary.
Thank you.

thank you for this website, it wonderful, great help for us first time visitors.
there are 5 of us visiting New York city this Nov.
Like to know how long does it takes to travel to Brooklyn from Midtown by subway. If it does not take hours, we will stay in hotel in Manhatten and save the troblue of changing hotels, thanks in advance.

Thanks for stopping by Julie. It definitely does not take hours to get from Brooklyn to Midtown. Depending on where you are in Brooklyn it could take up to an hour. The closer to the East River the better. If you can save money by staying in Brooklyn then I think it is worth it.
