Photograph Manhattan Bridge from Washington Street NYC
Brooklyn, New York
Description
Added by Allison Foyles
Take top-notch photos of one of the most iconic viewing spots in New York City of The Manhattan Bridge.
Located in DUMBO this is seen as one of of the prime photography spots in NYC for good reason. Off the intersection of Washington Street and Water Street is a perfect view of the Manhattan Bridge sandwiched between two buildings. If you want to take it one step further you are able to get a closer view of the bridge at Main Street Park (Found at the end of Washington Street).
Parking here is difficult considering it is a very popular spot - but not impossible with a little patience. I found it much easier to get here by the transit. There is a metro station less than half a mile away and plenty of bus stations nearby as well.

If there’s only one photograph you’ll take a while you’re visiting here. This is the place to take it!  If you go in the middle of the day, the roads are pretty quiet and you’ll be able to take a shot in the middle of the street without worrying about being run over.

One of those places you have seen the photos, and you want to see for yourself and capture your own image. It's a worthwhile visit, but like most of NYC, has the potential to be crowded.

Great shot, with the Empire State building in the backgrounders, but its always swamped with tourists/photo shoots. If you can get there and have less people, go, but otherwise... skip it.

Iconic view, great neighborhood to walk and get some food. But be careful if you're standing in the middle of the street, you need to keep an eye out for cars. And trust me, you won't be the only one in the street :)

This is a famous photograph in the City - after you snap your pictures, walk around the area and take in the full glory of the neighborhood!

These splendid photo images are so enriching. One stares in awe... the heart beats just a little stronger and then a mindful moment in the world's most marvelous places. The spirit is exhilarated and refreshed. Then one is more ready for the mundane but necessary stuff of life.
