No matter the perspective, Manhattan always offers a spectacular skyline — but this Brooklyn view will give you vantage points of lower Manhattan, the East River and the 1883-built bridge that towers over the water, connecting Manhattan and Brooklyn. Visit at sunset and you'll be able to capture an incredible cityscape shot.
