Robert F Wagner Sr Pl Between Pearl St and South St 

For a street with such an obnoxious name, Robert F Wagner Sr. Place sure has some pretty stunning vistas. With a clear, unobstructed view of the Brooklyn Bridge, it's perhaps the ideas place to get your picture taken with the 126-year-old landmark. However, other than that, the street is pretty isolated. Sure, it'll take you down to South Street, and by extension the seaport. But with a housing project to the east, and a series of off ramps to the west you're basically stuck on a service road. 

But again, it's really about the bridge here. It's always fun to see the structures that lead up to the famous towers. It's the part of the bridge you rarely get to see in photographs- and in many ways it's equally as beautiful.
