Review of Brooklyn Heights New York, New York, North America - AFAR

One of New York's loveliest historic districts, Brooklyn Heights sits along the East River to the south of the Brooklyn Bridge. Its streets are lined with beautifully preserved and restored 19th-century town houses while a promenade along its western edge offers views of the skyline of downtown Manhattan—especially stunning when the sun is setting over New York's harbor. Simply wandering its streets, you'll feel transported back in time, but there are some buildings of special interest you may want to seek out. The celebrated 19th-century preacher Henry Ward Beecher (brother of Harriet Beecher Stowe) presided at Plymouth Church (<i>57 Orange St.</i>). Truman Capote finished <i>Breakfast at Tiffany's</i> and wrote <i>In Cold Blood</i> during the 10 years he lived at 70 Willow Street, and novelist Thomas Wolfe lived at 5 Montague Terrace from 1933 to 1935. Grace Church (<i>254 Hicks St.</i>) and St. Ann &amp; the Holy Trinity (<i>157 Montague St.</i>) are outstanding examples of 19th-century Gothic Revival architecture. After you are done exploring, Atlantic Avenue, which marks the southern edge of the neighborhood, and Montague Street have a number of restaurants to choose from if you are ready for a meal.
