New York City 4K - Downtown Brooklyn - USA
Dumbo (or DUMBO, short for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass) is a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Brooklyn. Dumbo had become Brooklyn's most expensive neighborhood, as well as New York City's fourth-richest community overall; this is owing in part to its large concentration of technology startups, its close proximity to Manhattan, and its large number of former industrial buildings that have been converted into spacious luxury residential lofts.
The area was originally a ferry landing, characterized by 19th- and early 20th-century industrial and warehouse buildings, Belgian block streets, and its location on the East River by the imposing anchorage of the Manhattan Bridge. The entirety of Dumbo was bought by developer David Walentas and his company Two Trees Management in the late 20th century, and remade into an upscale residential and commercial community—first becoming a haven for art galleries, and currently a center for technology startups. The large community of tech startups earned DUMBO the nickname of the center of the Brooklyn Tech Triangle.
The area known as DUMBO used to be known as Gairville. It encompasses two sections: one located between the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges, which connect Brooklyn to Manhattan across the East River, and another that continues east from the Manhattan Bridge to the Vinegar Hill area. The neighborhood is bounded by Brooklyn Bridge Park to the north, the Brooklyn Bridge to the west, Brooklyn Heights to the south and Vinegar Hill to the east. Dumbo is part of Brooklyn Community Board 2.
Brooklyn is the most populous borough of New York City, with a census-estimated 2,648,771 residents in 2017. Named after the Dutch village of Breukelen, it borders the borough of Queens, at the western end of Long Island. Brooklyn also has several bridge connections to the boroughs of Manhattan (across the East River) and Staten Island (across the Verrazano Narrows Bridge). Since 1896, the borough has been coterminous with Kings County, the most populous county in the U.S. state of New York and the second-most densely populated county in the United States, after the county of New York (which is coextensive with the borough of Manhattan).
With a land area of 71 square miles (180 km2) and water area of 26 square miles (67 km2), Kings County is New York's fourth-smallest county by land area and third-smallest by total area, though it is the second-largest among the city's five boroughs. Today, if New York City dissolved, Brooklyn would rank as the third-most populous city in the U.S. after Los Angeles and Chicago.
Brooklyn was an independent incorporated city (and previously an authorized village and town within the provisions of the New York State Constitution) until January 1, 1898, when, after a long political campaign and public relations battle during the 1890s, according to the new Municipal Charter of Greater New York, Brooklyn was consolidated with the other cities, boroughs, and counties to form the modern City of New York, surrounding the Upper New York Bay with five constituent boroughs. The borough continues, however, to maintain a distinct culture. Many Brooklyn neighborhoods are ethnic enclaves. Brooklyn's official motto, displayed on the Borough seal and flag, is Eendraght Maeckt Maght, which translates from early modern Dutch as Unity makes strength.
In the first decades of the 21st century, Brooklyn has experienced a renaissance as an avant garde destination for hipsters, with concomitant gentrification, dramatic house price increases, and a decrease in housing affordability. Since 2010, Brooklyn has evolved into a thriving hub of entrepreneurship and high technology startup firms, and of postmodern art and design.

⁴ᴷ Walking the Brooklyn Bridge to Manhattan in New York City at Night
I walk across the Brooklyn Bridge to Manhattan from the entrance at Cadman Plaza East in New York City at night.
From Wikipedia:
The Brooklyn Bridge is a hybrid cable-stayed/suspension bridge in New York City and is one of the oldest roadway bridges in the United States. Started in 1869 and completed fourteen years later in 1883, it connects the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn, spanning the East River. It has a main span of 1,595.5 feet (486.3 m) and was the first steel-wire suspension bridge constructed. It was originally called the New York and Brooklyn Bridge and the East River Bridge, but it was later dubbed the Brooklyn Bridge, a name coming from an earlier January 25, 1867, letter to the editor of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle and formally so named by the city government in 1915. Since opening, it has become an icon of New York City and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1964 and a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark in 1972.

We are the 5 Boroughs
in NY State
And we make up New York City
Yeah, our core Manhattan is great
We are the 5 Boroughs
And we’ve got lots to say
Located on the East Coast
in the great US of A
Hello I am Manhattan
The most densely populated Borough see
Of New York City
And coextensive with New York County
I’m surrounded by the Hudson River bordering New Jersey to my West
And the East and Harlem River
with the Upper Bay to my south I attest
I host Central Park, The Statue of Liberty
And the Empire States Building
As well as Rockefeller Center,
Times Square and High Line if that’s your thing!
My names Brooklyn I’m to the Southeast of Manhattan And attached to Queens
And the most populous of the 5 Borough’s
visit me and fulfill your dreams
I touch the North Atlantic Ocean
Also Lower, Upper and Jamaica Bay
The Brooklyn Bridge connects me to Manhattan over the East River all day
Coney Island’s a classic attraction
of mine, you could see
Or Soldiers' and Sailors' Arch
is something you may have seen in a movie
Queens, here I’m North of and attached to Brooklyn as shown here
To the North and West, the Bronx and Manhattan are across the East River real near
I also touch the North Atlantic Ocean
And the Jamaica Bay
Come to see the Queensboro Bridge, Citi Field, and my famous Unisphere and play
We are the 5 Boroughs
in NY State
And we make up New York City
Yeah, our core Manhattan is great
We are the 5 Boroughs
And we’ve got lots to say
Located on the East coast

And also the Long Island Sound
Visit Yankee Stadium, the Bronx Zoo, And Pelham Bay Park if you’re around
Hi I’m Staten Island the southernmost of New York City's 5 boroughs
connected to Lower Manhattan via the Staten Island Ferry you know
I touch the Upper, Lower And Raritan Bay

Brooklyn Bridge New York City 4k
New York City: Brooklyn Bridge 4k. The City of New York, often called New York City or simply New York, is the most populous city in the United States. With an estimated 2017 population of 8,622,698 distributed over a land area of about 302.6 square miles (784 km2), New York City is also the most densely populated major city in the United States. Located at the southern tip of the state of New York, the city is the center of the New York metropolitan area, one of the most populous urban agglomerations in the world, with an estimated 20.3 million people in its 2017 Metropolitan Statistical Area and 23.7 million residents in its Combined Statistical Area. A global power city, New York City has been described as the cultural, financial, and media capital of the world, and exerts a significant impact upon commerce, entertainment, research, technology, education, politics, tourism, and sports. The city's fast pace defines the term New York minute. Home to the headquarters of the United Nations, New York is an important center for international diplomacy.
Situated on one of the world's largest natural harbors, New York City consists of five boroughs, each of which is a separate county of the State of New York. The five boroughs – Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, The Bronx, and Staten Island – were consolidated into a single city in 1898. The city and its metropolitan area constitute the premier gateway for legal immigration to the United States. As many as 800 languages are spoken in New York, making it the most linguistically diverse city in the world. New York City is home to more than 3.2 million residents born outside the United States, the largest foreign-born population of any city in the world. In 2013, the tri-state New York Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) produced a gross metropolitan product (GMP) of nearly US$1.4 trillion. If greater New York City were a sovereign state, it would have the 12th highest GDP in the world.
New York City traces its origins to a trading post founded by colonists from the Dutch Republic in 1624 on Lower Manhattan; the post was named New Amsterdam in 1626. The city and its surroundings came under English control in 1664 and were renamed New York after King Charles II of England granted the lands to his brother, the Duke of York. New York served as the capital of the United States from 1785 until 1790. It has been the country's largest city since 1790. The Statue of Liberty greeted millions of immigrants as they came to the Americas by ship in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and is a world symbol of the United States and its ideals of liberty and peace. In the 21st century, New York has emerged as a global node of creativity and entrepreneurship, social tolerance, and environmental sustainability, and as a symbol of freedom and cultural diversity.
Many districts and landmarks in New York City are well known, and the city received a record 61 million tourists in 2016, hosting three of the world's ten most visited tourist attractions in 2013. Several sources have ranked New York the most photographed city in the world. Times Square, iconic as the world's heart and its Crossroads, is the brightly illuminated hub of the Broadway Theater District, one of the world's busiest pedestrian intersections, and a major center of the world's entertainment industry. The names of many of the city's bridges, skyscrapers, and parks are known around the world. Anchored by Wall Street in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan, New York City has been called both the most economically powerful city and the leading financial center of the world, and the city is home to the world's two largest stock exchanges by total market capitalization, the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ. Manhattan's real estate market is among the most expensive in the world. Manhattan's Chinatown incorporates the highest concentration of Chinese people in the Western Hemisphere, with multiple signature Chinatowns developing across the city. Providing continuous 24/7 service, the New York City Subway is one of the most extensive metro systems worldwide, with 472 stations in operation. Over 120 colleges and universities are located in New York City, including Columbia University, New York University, and Rockefeller University, which have been ranked among the top universities in the world.

Brooklyn New York Drive 4K - Brownstone Homes - USA
Brooklyn is the most populous borough of New York City, as revealed by a Brooklyn drive, with a census-estimated 2,648,771 residents in 2017. Named after the Dutch village of Breukelen, it borders the borough of Queens, at the western end of Long Island. Brooklyn also has several bridge connections to the boroughs of Manhattan (across the East River) and Staten Island (across the Verrazzano Narrows Bridge). Since 1896, the borough has been coterminous with Kings County, the most populous county in the U.S. state of New York and the second-most densely populated county in the United States, after the county of New York. There are many options for a Brooklyn New York tour if you want to explore this borough in depth.
Brooklyn's job market is driven by three main factors: the performance of the national and city economy, population flows and the borough's position as a convenient back office for New York's businesses.

Mahalo travel expert Asha K. tells you what you need to know before going to visit the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City.
Overview
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Connecting the New York City boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn across the East River since May 24, 1883, the Brooklyn Bridge is one of the oldest suspension bridges in the United States. It spans 1,594 feet and it was the longest bridge of its kind in the world until 1903. The Brooklyn Bridge was originally called the New York and Brooklyn Bridge, as well as the East River Bridge; it wasn't formally named the Brooklyn Bridge until 1915. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1964, followed by its distinction as a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark in 1972.
Construction
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The Brooklyn Bridge took 13 years to construct due to political squabbles and cost $18 million. German immigrant John Roebling was the reason the bridge was built after his ferry got stick in the ice of the East River one winter. The construction of the bridge consisted of a mesh of cables that anchor the structure to the ground. There are two large masonry towers with gothic arches on each side of the bridge to which the cables are also attached. The towers are each 276 feet in height.
Over 20 deaths occurred over the course of its construction. Plaques on each archway on either side of the bridge contain historical tidbits about the bridge for curious visitors to read.
Access and Tours
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Access to the bridge is available at the South Street Seaport if you're coming from Manhattan; coming from Brooklyn you can access the bridge from Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park. Tourists can take a mile-long stroll along the bridge as cars whiz by on your side. You can also take the Big Onion Walking Tour across the bridge and into Brooklyn Heights.
The Big Onion Walking Tour is $15 for adults and $12 for seniors over 63, active military and students. You'll cross the Brooklyn Bridge and be told the story of its construction; continuing on through the Heights, you'll see abolitionist Henry Ward Beecher's Plymouth Church, 19th Century architecture and sites associated with
Walt Whitman, Truman Capote and Arthur Miller, among other sites. The tour meets at the southeast corner of Broadway and Chambers Streets at City Hall Park. For more information, email info@bigonion.com or call (888) 606-WALK.
