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.

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.

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.

A look at: Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, New York, USA
Take a look at one of the most vibrant Russian communities outside of Russia.
Brighton Beach is a community on Coney Island in the borough of Brooklyn in New York City, USA
Located next to the famous Coney Island theme park, this place is like stepping into a time warp and still resembles what the Lower East Side used to look like.
Locally known as Little Odessa, the people here continue to carry on there daily lives as Russian citizens. Take a stroll down Brighton Beach Avenue and you will find Russian bakers, butchers, supermarkets, restaurants and is certainly an eye opener!
Riegelmann Broadwalk, located at the end of Coney Island Avenue stretches the length of Brighton Beach all the way to the theme park and is a pleasant walk past the beach, and looks across to the Gateway National Recreation Area.
The New York City Subway also runs a direct service on the Q Line and stops at Brighton Beach and Ocean Parkway stations. The subway line runs on an elevated track above the street, which makes it particularly loud!
Music is Nign performed by The Klezmatics.

BROOKLYN New York City Best Tour 2019 Landmarks Drone Video
Brooklyn is home to more than 2.5 million residents, making it America’s most densely-populated county (Kings County). If it alone were a city, it would be the third largest in the US, behind LA And Chicago. It is also the country’s most diverse county by race, ethnicity and religion, which may explain its city motto ‘unity makes strength’.
Numerous Native American peoples have roots in this northeastern land; but no historical record allows us to definitely state a claim. The Dutch first settled here in 1645 and they continued to expand after the Anglo-Dutch war of 1664 ended with the English claiming the colonies as their own.
In Brooklyn, the first and largest battle of the American Revolutionary War was fought on August 27, 1776. In the Battle of Brooklyn, George Washington led the Continental Army across modern day Green-Wood Cemetery and Prospect Park. A tactical withdrawal was made through Brooklyn Heights, ceding the city to the English.
Today, Brooklyn is home to some of the most iconic sites in the United States. In this video, you see: the Brooklyn Bridge, Prospect Park, the Prospect Park Zoo, Brooklyn Public Library, Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Botanical Garden, Barclays Center, and Brooklyn Heights Promenade.
Coney Island is another incredible place in Brooklyn. To see an awesome video of that world-famous location, click here:

⁴ᴷ⁶⁰ Walking NYC (Narrated) : Brooklyn Bridge to Manhattan (October 7, 2019)
Google Maps Location:
A narrated walk across the Brooklyn Bridge to Manhattan. I talk about its history, construction, and current state of the bridge.
Corrections:
At 1:45 I mention John Roebling was the architect of the Brooklyn Bridge. He was actually the chief civil engineer.
At 2:28 I mention Boss Tweed was the mayor of New York City, but he was the corrupt political leader of Tammany Hall.
At 4:30 I mention Emily Roebling was John Roebling's wife. She was actually Washington Roebling's wife (I was correct the first time).

건물사이로 다리가 보이는 이곳은 사진 찍는 명소로 떠오르는 곳이다. “저희는 마이애미에 살아요. 그래서 짧은 휴가로 이곳에 왔어요. 여성 행진에 동참하기 위해서이기도 하고요.” “어떠세요? 좋아 보이세요?” “저건 맨해튼 다리예요. 여기는 덤보(DUMBO)고요.” 맨해튼 다리 아래 동네를 의미하는 ‘덤보’는 예술가들이 많이 모여 사는 동네로 생동감이 넘친다. 맨해튼 다리 사이로 고층빌딩들이 살짝 보인다. 맨해튼 다리 옆에는 유명한 브루클린 다리가 있다. 뉴욕 동쪽을 흐르는 이스트강은 물살이 세기 때문에 교각이 중간에 없는 다리로 설계했다. 1883년 완공 당시 세계에서 가장 긴 현수교였다. 최초로 강철 케이블을 사용한 브루클린 다리의 2층은 보행자 전용통로로 만들었다. 맨해튼이 잘 보이는 보행자 통로는 뉴욕시민보다 관광하는 이방인이 많이 이용한다. 깨지지 않을 약속 같았던 기회의 땅, 미국.

It is a place where you can take a picture. We live in Miami. So I came here for a short vacation. It is also to join the march of women. How are you? Do you look good? That's the Manhattan Bridge. This is DUMBO. Dumbo, meaning the neighborhood under the Manhattan Bridge, is a vibrant town with lots of artists. The skyscrapers of Manhattan seem to be gleaming. Next to the Manhattan Bridge is the famous Brooklyn Bridge. The east river flowing east of New York was designed as a bridge with no bridge in between because of the flood. It was the longest suspension bridge in the world when it was completed in 1883. The first floor of the Brooklyn Bridge with steel cables was made into a pedestrian access passage. Manhattan's pedestrian walkway is heavily used by foreigners who are more tourists than New Yorkers. Land of opportunity, like promise not to break.

Manhattan, Brooklyn, New York City, New York, United States, North America
Manhattan is the smallest and most densely populated borough of New York City. Located primarily on the island of Manhattan at the mouth of the Hudson River, the borough is conterminous with New York County, an original county of the state of New York. The borough and county consist of Manhattan Island and several small adjacent islands: Roosevelt Island, Randall's Island, Wards Island, Governors Island, Liberty Island, part of Ellis Island, Mill Rock, and U Thant Island; as well as Marble Hill, a small area on the mainland bordering the Bronx. The original city of New York began at the southern end of Manhattan, expanded northward, and then between 1874 and 1898, annexed land from surrounding counties. New York County is the most densely populated county in the United States, and one of the most densely populated areas in the world, with a 2010 population of 1,585,873 living in a land area of 22.96 square miles (59.5 km2), or 69,464 residents per square mile (26,924/km²), more dense than any individual American city. It is also one of the wealthiest counties in the United States, with a 2005 per capita income above $100,000. Manhattan is the third-largest of New York's five boroughs in population, and its smallest borough in land area. Manhattan is the economic and cultural center of the United States. Anchored by Wall Street in Lower Manhattan, New York City functions as the financial capital of the world, with an estimated GDP of over $1.2 trillion, and is home of both the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ. Many multinational media conglomerates are based in the borough. Manhattan has many famous landmarks, tourist attractions, museums, and universities. It is also the location of the United Nations Headquarters. It is the cultural and economic center of New York City and the New York metropolitan area, hosting the seat of city government and a large portion of the area's employment, business, and entertainment activities. As a result, residents of New York City's other boroughs such as Brooklyn and Queens often refer to a trip to Manhattan as going to the city, despite the comparable populations between those boroughs, and the fact that these boroughs are also part of the city proper. The name Manhattan derives from the word Manna-hata, as written in the 1609 logbook of Robert Juet, an officer on Henry Hudson's yacht Halve Maen (Half Moon). A 1610 map depicts the name as Manna-hata, twice, on both the west and east sides of the Mauritius River (later named the Hudson River). The word Manhattan has been translated as island of many hills from the Lenape language. New York County is one of seven counties in the United States to share the same name as the state in which they are located (the other six counties are Arkansas County, Hawaii County, Idaho County, Iowa County, Oklahoma County, and Utah County). The United States Postal Service prefers that mail addressed to Manhattan use New York, NY rather than Manhattan, NY. The skyscraper, which has shaped Manhattan's distinctive skyline, has been closely associated with New York City's identity since the end of the 19th century. From 1890--1973, the world's tallest building was in Manhattan, with nine different buildings holding the title. The New York World Building on Park Row, was the first to take the title in 1890, standing 309 feet (91 m) until 1955, when it was demolished to construct a new ramp to the Brooklyn Bridge. The nearby Park Row Building, with its 29 stories standing 391 feet (119 m) high took the title in 1899. The 41-story Singer Building, constructed in 1908 as the headquarters of the eponymous sewing machine manufacturer, stood 612 feet (187 m) high until 1967, when it became the tallest building ever demolished. The Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Tower, standing 700 feet (213 m) at the foot of Madison Avenue, wrested the title in 1909, with a tower reminiscent of St Mark's Campanile in Venice. The Woolworth Building, and its distinctive Gothic architecture, took the title in 1913, topping off at 792 feet (241 m). The Roaring Twenties saw a race to the sky, with three separate buildings pursuing the world's tallest title in the span of a year.
