If it's Friday, it must be Brooklyn

A clear, beautiful, sunny day - not a humid but still very warm. A perfect day to walk over the Brooklyn Bridge! We took train and subway straight from New Jersey to Brooklyn, where we walked through Brooklyn Heights. We stopped at the River Cafe on the Brooklyn side to add our names to their wait list for dinner that night before setting out to walk across the bridge. Surprising how many others had the same idea! The commuters (on bikes) seem disgusted with the tourists who stray into the bike lanes. It is such a great way to see the skyline of Manhattan and by now we were getting familiar with a lot of the skyscrapers and their place in the scheme of things.
