Yes, Manhattan is an island so you have to go over a bridge or in a tunnel to get there. Common entrance points are the George Washington Bridge, the Lincoln Tunnel, the Brooklyn Bridge, the Queensboro Bridge.

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.


What places connect to the Brooklyn bridge?

The Brooklyn Bridge does not connect any two cities. The Brooklyn Bridge connects the New York City boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn. Before the five boroughs consolidated into one city in 1898, Brooklyn was its own city. The Brooklyn Bridge was completed in 1883, so for the first five years of its existence it connected the city of Brooklyn to New York City.
