Brooklyn Bridge

Lower Manhattan / DUMBO · Pedestrian bridge · Free

Everyone walks this at noon shoulder-to-shoulder. I run it at 6:30am when it's nearly empty, sunrise behind me, and I've 'done the tourist thing' before the crowds even wake up. Same landmark, completely different experience.

The 1883 span, done as a dawn run instead of a tourist shuffle. The must-do, earned on foot at speed.
