Six of the east-west streets of well-to-do Brooklyn Heights (such as Montague and Clark Sts) lead to the neighborhood’s number-one attraction: a paved walking strip with breathtaking views of Lower Manhattan and New York Harbor that is blissfully removed from the busy Brooklyn-Queens Expwy (BQE) over which it sits. This little slice of urban beauty, over 1800ft in length, is fiercely defended by locals against development proposals. It's a great spot for a sunset walk.
An innovatively designed footbridge called the Squibb Park Bridge, just past the northern end of the promenade, links it with the shoreside Pier 1 in Brooklyn Bridge Park.
