Brooklyn Heights is one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in the nation:
Travel and Leisure Magazine.
Our day starts at the Promenade:
The Brooklyn Heights Promenade will take your breath away. Made famous by cameo appearances in movies like Annie Hall and Moonstruck, it is one of the most romantic spots in New York City, and has been the destination for thousands of first dates, wedding proposals and anniversary celebrations. One-third of a mile long, it offers a vista of the Statue of Liberty, the Manhattan skyline and the majestic Brooklyn Bridge. Lined with flower beds, trees, benches and playgrounds, the promenade is a favorite destination for tourists, joggers, strollers, families, lovers, and of course - Urban Sketchers.
The afternoon will be spent sketching the rows of historic 19th century brownstones, the leafy streets, lush gardens and charming dead-end alleyways. The landmark designation has kept the neighborhood looking much as it did 100 years ago. This is a sketching treat!
