I cross the Manhattan and Brooklyn fairly often and even though the view is better and you're up above the cars, I hate, hate, hate the Brooklyn b/c of the tourists. I like the new Manhattan north side only because there are even less peds than the the shared south. (But I hate looking at that stoopid building with the sloped roof thing on the Brooklyn side.) I've never really had a problem with the blind turn since it's a good reminder to slow down but I agree with everyone that the ramp down to the street blows. The new ramp on the Brooklyn side sucks not so much when I get off but when I try to get on. Usually I'm approaching from downtown (Jay Street?) and it sucks trying to get onto the sidewalk while dodging cars exiting the bridge. It was a little easier before but not really. Some traffic engineer should really rethink the situation there.
