About the Cities
Arriving in Brooklyn, NY
Full guide →Founded 1634
Brooklyn, the "Borough of Homes and Churches," is one of the five boroughs of New York City. It used to be a separate city, and still feels much like one. It has about 2.5 million inhabitants. If separated from the rest of New York City, Brooklyn would be the 4th most populous American city. Brooklyn is on the westernmost point of Long Island and shares a land boundary with Queens, which partially encircles Brooklyn to the north, east and south; Manhattan lies across the East River to the west and north of Brooklyn, and Staten Island is across the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge to the southwest. Brooklyn is enjoying a period of growth and affluence not seen since before World War II. The Brooklyn Academy of Music boasts world-class theater performances, and the nearby Barclays Center is the home of the NBA's Brooklyn Nets.

Drive Character
Expect a very different experience than a highway cruise, as this route features zero percent highway driving. You will spend your time navigating a series of local streets, including Springfield Boulevard, Hillside Avenue, and the Clearview Expressway. Because the path is entirely local, you will be making frequent turns rather than settling into a long, uninterrupted stretch of road. It is a dense, urban driving environment that requires your full attention at every intersection. Prepare for a stop-and-go pace that keeps you engaged with the local infrastructure throughout the entire 14-mile journey.
Expect a mix of faster highway mileage and slower local approaches near the beginning or end.
There are about 25 navigation steps in the underlying route data, so the final approach matters more than the middle miles.
Jackie Robinson Parkway is the longest continuous segment at about 4.8 miles.
How Hard Is This Drive?
