Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan Bridge, Williamsburg bridge
Which bridge connects Upper Manhattan to New Jersey?
There are three bridges connecting Manhattan to Brooklyn: the Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan Bridge and Williamsburg Bridge. You can remember them, and the order they are in from south to north, very easily, as the acronym formed by their names is the name of a popular kind of car, the BMW: Brooklyn, Manhattan, Williamsburg.
What goes under the Manhattan Bridge?
The East River, which is actually not a river, but an estuary, or a tidal strait. Unlike a true river, it connects to the ocean on both sides. It flows south from the Long Island Sound, down the east side of Manhattan and the west side of Queens and Brooklyn, into the Atlantic Ocean.There are three bridges that connect Brooklyn to lower Manhattan: the Brooklyn Bridge, the Williamsburg Bridge, and the Manhattan Bridge. The Manhattan Bridge is the southernmost of the three: it connects to Manhattan at Canal Street. The Williamsburg Bridge is in the middle; it connects to Manhattan at Delancey Street. The Brooklyn Bridge is the northernmost of the three, connecting to Manhattan at Houston Street.

How you travel to Brooklyn?
You can get to Brooklyn by airplane (to JFK or LaGuardia, then take a taxi), by NYC subway, by Long Island Railroad, by taxi, by bus (including Greyhound), by water taxi, by bicycle or by walking. Three bridges and a tunnel connect Brooklyn to Manhattan. No more streetcars, sorry. Amtrak doesn't stop in Brooklyn, but does in nearby Manhattan.
What is the difference between the Manhattan Bridge and the Brooklyn Bridge?
No, they are not the same bridge. Three bridges connect Lower Manhattan to Brooklyn: the Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan Bridge and Williamsburg Bridge. The Brooklyn Bridge is the furthest south, the Manhattan Bridge is in the middle, and the Williamsburg Bridge is the furthest north. The Brooklyn Bridge was originally called the "New York and Brooklyn Bridge," which is perhaps where some of the confusion comes from. But when the bridge opened in 1883, New York City consisted mostly of just Manhattan. It was not until 15 years later, in 1898, that the five boroughs -- Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx and Staten Island -- united to form modern-day New York City. Before then, Brooklyn was its own city (the other three consisted of small towns and farmland), so the bridge was called the "New York and Brooklyn Bridge" because it united the city of New York and the city of Brooklyn. Of course, today Brooklyn is part of New York City, so calling it the "New York and Brooklyn Bridge" is redundant.
At which area of Brooklyn does the bridge traverse the East River?
I'm assuming you're talking about the Brooklyn Bridge. There are three bridges that connect Brooklyn to Lower Manhattan. From south to north, they are: The Brooklyn Bridge, The Manhattan Bridge and the Williamsburg Bridge.You can remember them (and the order they are in from south to north) very easily, as when you put the first letter of each together, it becomes a popular kind of car, the BMW: Brooklyn, Manhattan, Williamburg.Anyway, to answer your question, the Brooklyn Bridge traverses the East River at City Hall on the Manhattan side, and the Brooklyn Heights and Vinegar Hill neighborhoods on the Brooklyn side.The Bridge cuts through the north end of Brooklyn Heights and the south end of Vinegar Hill. Since neighborhoods in New York City do not have precise boundaries, it's difficult to pinpoint exactly which neighborhood of the two the Bridge starts in.
