Empire Fulton Ferry - Brooklyn (NY)

5 /5 Truth and Love Photography: Michael hired me to capture his surprise proposal moment near Empire Fulton Ferry and this special moment was incredible and beautiful to capture between him and his girlfriend. She totally didn’t expect it at all but what’s amazing about this moment is that I captured exactly what he was looking for. He wanted his proposal and engagement photos to showcase New York City as well. If you’re looking to do your proposal here or capture your engagement photo shoot, this Empire Fulton Ferry area is one of the best spots to absolutely utilize.

4 /5 Sanjay Gupta: It is a nine-acre green space on the East River devoted to appreciating its surroundings. While many folks claim that Sunset Park, the Brooklyn Bridge, or their kitchen window has the best Manhattan- – New York view, we at New York Habitat crown the Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park as the best place in Brooklyn to gaze at the Manhattan skyline. Whether you’re coming or going, laying out on the lush lawns, visiting Jane’s Carousel, or being a shutterbug, this go-to location, nestled between the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges, is not to be missed. Dont miss out rooftop- Housed in a former warehouse and coffee roasting facility, Empire Stores features retail shops, restaurants, a rooftop beer garden, and a museum of the Brooklyn Historical Society.

5 /5 Lindsay Taylor: DUMBO is beautiful! There are so many shops, parks, and restaurants. The parks are perfect for a picnic and walking around. Night time is also amazing and full of great vibes. I highly recommend a visit!

5 /5 RC: If you want a place to take in the city skyline and offers a ton of photo worthy spots then this is the place for you. Breathtaking views right on the water!

5 /5 Gwendolyn R Houston-Jack: Come prepared to sit and relax for a few hours. This spot is so relaxing and photogenic. Whether its sunny or overcast, the scenery is still perfect. During my last visit, I noticed a sign that said "no dogs in this area" around this beautiful grassy knoll. Not sure if theres a spot for the four-legged friends, but that area is pristine for a reason. Again, another top-notch location for photographers.
