Manhattan Bridge

To see great views of lower Manhattan without the crowded chaos of Brooklyn Bridge, I recommend walking across Manhattan Bridge. Cyclists have a dedicated lane on the north side while the walkway on the south side is for pedestrians only. And there are few, if any, tourists. If you don't mind the roar of the subway trains every few minutes, it is worth the spectacular view of Brooklyn Bridge, DUMBO and Manhattan. It's worth the 1.3 mile walk across.
