Brooklyn Heights: A Brief Overview
Brooklyn Heights is one of New York City’s most historic neighborhoods (and NYC’s first-ever official Historic District.) In this video, we dive into the history of Brooklyn Heights, with a focus on the neighborhood’s ongoing tension between historic preservation and economic development. Just across the East River from Lower Manhattan, the leafy streets, elegant brownstones and ample waterfront parks of Brooklyn Heights lend themselves to casual exploration. Explore with us!
Watch this video to find out:
Which historical forces drove Brooklyn Heights to prominence as “America’s First Suburb”
How Brooklyn Heights activists influenced the New York City’s landmark preservation strategy and became the first neighborhood to be designated a Historic District in NYC
What happened when Robert Moses threatened the neighborhood’s historic charm with a massive highway development plan -- and the unexpected result
How the legendary Brooklyn Heights Promenade destroyed the private property of those who unknowingly lobbied for its existence
Why design and construction of the 84-acre urban oasis Brooklyn Bridge Park took over three decades
The best local coffee, pizza and dessert spots (as defined, subjectively, by this video’s director)
