Little known fact: the Brooklyn Bridge used to be called the "New York and Brooklyn Bridge" but (as you may agree) that seems long, especially back in the day when printed matter was hand set with leaded type, and the Brooklyn Daily Eagle apparently coined the nickname which was thusly adopted by the city in 1915.
In other news, I've never been to New York. It's definitely on the list, though. I'm not anti-big-apple. (I'm from the little apple, so I would like to see how the other half live some time.) Thank you CT. Have a good trip.
