Arguably the most well-known landmark of Brooklyn is the Brooklyn Bridge, which was once the longest suspension bridge in the world. Across the Brooklyn Bridge is Brooklyn, which offers more affordable apartments than Manhattan. Here, discover the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the second-largest art museum in the city, and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, a lush urban oasis.
