Yesterday was the birthday of the Brooklyn Bridge as it first opened 138 years ago!

In honor of this New York City icon’s birthday, we are highlighting the Bridge Cafe on Water Street at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge in Manhattan. This historic restaurant and bar was originally opened in 1794 as a grocery and wine and porter bottler. 

Sadly the building which houses the Bridge Cafe was severely damaged during Hurricane Sandy and remains closed today. 

Our night photo of Bridge Café appears in our book “New York Nights”.
