Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy
Fun Fact
The East River is not a river, and its name did not come from its location east of Manhattan. Technically, it is a tidal strait, a channel connecting two seawater bodies, Upper New York Bay and Long Island Sound. The name came because American colonists used it to travel east.
