Williamsburg Bridge: Historic Marvel Over the East River
Tourists love walking over the Brooklyn Bridge; however, the Williamsburg Bridge -- which stretches 7,308 feet over the East River between #Williamsburg, #Brooklyn and the Lower East Side in #Manhattan -- is less touristy and offers beautiful cityscape views of Manhattan, Brooklyn and #Queens. My favorite site is the Williamsburgh Savings Bank, the borough's tallest building, with its Classical Revival architecture. When the bridge opened in 1903, it was the longest suspension bridge in the world.
