This bright blue wooden footbridge was first built in 1880 to connect the posh resort area of Manhattan Beach with the rest of Brooklyn. Nearby residents keep the bridge busy throughout the day and can be seen strolling by the water or setting up their fishing spot. You can make this unusual looking structure a stop while sampling the Georgian cuisine of Sheepshead Bay.
