Walking the Brooklyn Bridge is one of the absolute best things to do during a visit to New York City.
The Brooklyn Bridge is the most iconic in NYC and was the first bridge across the East River to be constructed.

Brooklyn Bridge. It goes from Manhattan to Dumbo in Brooklyn. Stretching across the East River, the iconic Brooklyn Bridge opened up back in 1883 to carry traffic (nonautomotive at the time) between Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn. One of the most recognizable parts of the New York City skyline, the bridge has been featured in movies and on television shows, and is a real piece of New York City history.
A stroll across the elevated pedestrian walkway provides a true New York City experience.

From the Brooklyn Bridge you can see an expansive view of the New York skyline: the One World Tower, The Edge at Hudson Yards, Empire State Building, The Summit at One Vanderbilt, and the Chrysler Building.

00:00 Introduction
11:00 History of Saint Paul’s Chapel
Built in 1766, St. Paul’s is Manhattan’s oldest surviving church building. Land for the church was granted by the Queen of Great Britain at the time, Queen Anne, and was designated in the Parish of Trinity Church.
New York City at the time was still under British rule. The southern area of Manhattan was growing to become a major port, and most of the city had yet to be developed.
Fun fact: St. Paul’s was the tallest building in New York when it was finished.
In 1776, a great fire sparked by the Revolutionary War burned through the city and destroyed almost half of its buildings. Luckily, St. Paul’s survived with the help of a bucket brigade who poured water all over the burning church.
How did St. Paul’s Chapel get its name?
The namesake for the church is the Apostle Paul of the New Testament, born as Saul of Tarsus.
He was known for his dedication to the ministry and serving those who would be considered outcasts. In his name, community outreach is a primary focus of the church, which offers aid to immigrants, working women, and the homeless, among others.
Though September 11, 2001, and the days that followed were some of the darkest times in America’s history, amid the tragedy, a small beacon of hope stood at the corner of Broadway — Saint Paul’s Chapel. The church has always been a historic building welcoming visitors, but for nine months after 9/11, it became a refuge for thousands.
Today, Saint Paul’s Chapel welcomes over 1 million visitors every year. Yet few know St. Paul’s deep connection to the events of 9/11.

This urban walk gave us great pleasure and we were happy to have the opportunity to experience it. It was a perfect day.
Manhattan was fun and we felt the rhythm of this amazing and huge city.

We hope you stayed with us during this walk through Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridge.
