Worth knowing about Brooklyn
Brooklyn Museum
The building on Eastern Parkway was meant to be much bigger. When construction stopped in 1927, only one-fifth of the architects’ original plan had been completed. Look across the grand facade and imagine the museum that was still left on paper.
Brooklyn Bridge
Look beneath the bridge for the plaza named after Emily Warren Roebling. When her husband became ill, she studied his plans and helped communicate instructions to the engineers. At the bridge’s opening in 1883, she rode in the first carriage across.
Coney Island
The Parachute Jump started its life in Queens. Built for the 1939–40 World’s Fair, the tower was moved to Coney Island’s Steeplechase Park in 1941. When you spot it above the boardwalk, you are looking at a transplanted fairground attraction.
