Brooklyn Bridge, October 2014
It
was a challenging biking for a 7-year-old Basia and me from Manhattan-to-Brooklyn
and back. We accessed The Brooklyn Bridge bike line from City Hall on the
Manhattan side of the East River, cycled across through a very narrow path, crowded
with bikes and people, but we reached our goal, Jane's Carousel, a relic from
1922, located in the completely redone Empire-Fulton Ferry section of Dumbo, Brooklyn.

It took two decades for resident Jane Walentas and her husband, David, to
restore the Jane's Carousel. When it finally moved into its new home. Jean
Nouvel designed a glass structure around the carousel for kids to ride its
brightly colored, Philadelphia - made horses all year-round.

relaxing on the grass we admired the Brooklyn Bridge once again and quizzed our knowledge

Getting
Back to Manhattan was easier and the view was very scenic. We accessed the
Brooklyn Bridge Pedestrian Walkway via an underpass on Washington Street. The
underpass is about two blocks from Front Street in DUMBO.
