How do I get there from Manhattan?:
 |
| Start from the corner of Canal and Bowery. Follow the pedestrian signs to the right side of the bridge (cyclists are on the other side of the bridge). |
 |
| Find the gates; stay on the right. |
 |
| Separated from cyclists by subways and traffic - a beautiful thing. |
How do I get there from Brooklyn?:
 |
| Start from the corner of Jay St and Sands St. |
 |
| Follow the signs for the pedestrian side. |
 |
| Head up the stairs, and up you go. |
How's the view?
Excellent.
 |
| A view of Brooklyn Bridge. |
 |
| The Lower East Side. |
 |
How hard?: Average.
You should run this bridge if: you want a much less crowded alternative to the Brooklyn Bridge.
Odd facts: A plaque on the Brooklyn side says the Manhattan Bridge is the "first modern suspension bridge" to use deflection theory.
