BROOKLYN, N.Y. — It’s arguably one of the best views in New York City: the Brooklyn Bridge and the Lower Manhattan skyline from Brooklyn Bridge Park.
Now there will be even more access to that iconic vista, from the new Emily Warren Roebling Plaza, the final component of the 85-acre Brooklyn Bridge Park. The final section of the more than one-mile-long waterfront park will open later Thursday after a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Literary Brooklyn Heights, by Norm Goldstein, in the Literary Traveller
“I live in Brooklyn,” Truman Capote once wrote. “By choice.”
He described the New York City borough, for the most part, as a “veritable veldt of tawdriness.” But, he added, there also was an “oasis” of a Brooklyn neighborhood, a “splendid contradiction.”
This “oasis” was–and is–the area known as Brooklyn Heights.
“Heights,” he wrote, “because it stands atop a cliff that secures a sea-gull’s view of the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges, of lower Manhattan’s tall dazzle and the ship-lane waters, breeding river to bay to ocean, that encircle and seethe past posturing Miss Liberty.”

“Now that the “drabness” of Montague St. has been exposed to all of NYC and beyond, and the community spilled its woes in this blog’s comments section in such spirited style that another blog directed its readers to it, let us look forward to less drabness with these soon-to-come offerings in the new year.”
