Brooklyn, NY Photos

Brooklyn is a borough of the City of New York across the East River from Lower Manhattan. Missed by most tourists to the Big Apple, it would be a major travel destination anywhere else in America, possessing Prospect park with a major museum, large heritage neighborhoods, and Brooklyn Heights overlooking the cityscapes of Manhattan itself.
