Begin at the Brooklyn Bridge Promenade and take the 1.1 mile stroll across the Brooklyn Bridge to venture into Manhattan. Enjoy a fresh autumn breeze, glimpses of foliage in Brooklyn Bridge Park and views of the Manhattan skyline.

 

3) See the fall foliage in Central Park

Shutterbugs delight! Central Park looks magnificent in the fall and its colorful leaves provide a stunning backdrop for photography. Stroll along the 1.58-mile track around the Central Park Reservoir and take in the changing leaves.
