After being welcomed by Lady Liberty, the next place you might want to go to is the Brooklyn Bridge. With its breath-taking lights at night and magnificent architecture during the daytime, it’s such a wonder to know that it’s been serving as the connection between Manhattan and Brooklyn since 1883. It’s an old sturdy bridge, ain’t it?
This is also one famous bridge. It’s been shown in film, television, print, and even video games. One of the more recent famous movies to show the bridge was the first installment of the Fantastic Four movies, where he stops an 18 wheeler truck from killing a man on the road. In the small screen—it’s all over the place: from The Cosby Show to CSI: NY. Most comic book collectors see the Brooklyn Bridge as a backdrop for the final fight between good and evil. Avid video gamers may remember this bridge in Project Gotham Racing and others. These are just some of the reasons how a bridge became so famous around the world.
It’s romantic, historical, and famous.
Wouldn’t you want to see it for yourself?
