New Park - Brooklyn Bridge

After brunch Saturday, Seth and I wondered for a moment in the green market at Grand Army plaza - people watching more than looking to buy any of the fresh produce and other products being sold. Later in the afternoon, we headed to Brooklyn Heights to walk the promenade and check out the new park just south of the Brooklyn Bridge.

See the new green space? It didn't really look that big from the promenade... But once we got down there in it, it indeed was quite a bit bigger than it seemed. I Love Love Love that they are making use of the piers off the East River. I've always thought it was such a waste of space to leave them sitting abandoned with such a view surrounding them!

A photo I've never taken before from the new park!

Ahh my love with the reflection of the downtown skyline in his glasses.

Watching the sun set from the new park. I am in love with the steps that are built into the side of a hill in the new park. They are perfect for sitting and watching the sun go down. It felt like we were soooo close to the skyline, in the best seats in the city, right on the front row! I cannot wait to take visitors there to watch sunsets!

After the sun set, we headed to dinner with a friend and her boyfriend at Rice. Then, of course, we had to capture the beautiful night lights before heading home.

It was a perfect way to spend our Saturday!
