Pause at Bedford Ave and Broadway to admire this steel suspension bridge built in 1903, then take the mile-plus trek linking its namesake Brooklyn neighborhood to the Lower East Side. Flanked by bubblegum-pink fencing and littered with graffiti, the industrial pedestrian-and-cyclist path leads to impressive East River views, including the Empire State Building and Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges.
The bike path is on the north side of the bridge, accessible at the corner of S 5th St and S 5th Pl, while pedestrian access is on the south side of the bridge, at Bedford Ave near S 6th St.
