Luggage storage at and near the Brooklyn Bridge

A walk across the Brooklyn Bridge leaves you with nowhere to put a bag at either end, since the bridge itself has no storage of any kind.

The closest mandatory option only appears if you continue to the 9/11 Memorial, where large bags must be checked in its coat rooms. Otherwise, the bridge, its approaches, and Brooklyn Bridge Park simply assume you arrived without luggage. At Brooklyn Bridge Park, daily-use lockers are available at Pier 2 and Pier 5. The bridge links the Civic Center neighborhood in Manhattan with the DUMBO and Brooklyn Heights neighborhoods in Brooklyn.

Getting to the bridge with luggage

If you're arriving by subway on the Brooklyn side, High Street station on the A and C lines is under two minutes from the entrance, while Borough Hall on the 2, 3, 4, and 5 lines is a 7–10 minute walk via Tillary Street. On the Manhattan side, Chambers Street station on the J and Z trains sits right next to the bridge entrance. Whichever end you start from, the bridge has roughly a 3% grade across its full span, so wheeled luggage is manageable, but you'll feel it on the climb. The bridge is free to walk across and is managed by the NYC Department of Transportation.

Planning your visit: timing, bag rules, and nearby sights

Walking across the Brooklyn Bridge typically takes about 30–45 minutes, while combining it with nearby DUMBO runs about 2–3 hours. The bridge is open at all times and has no timed tickets for walking across, though portions of the walkway may be narrowed at times. Brooklyn Bridge Park is open 6am–1am every day, with select areas on limited hours and temporary or seasonal closures posted on its alerts page. For ticketed events held in the park such as the Glide event, organizers advise against bringing large bags or luggage and may conduct security searches of bags at entry.

If you're heading from the bridge to the 9/11 Memorial, note that bags larger than 19 x 17 x 8 inches are prohibited there. It provides mandatory storage for large bags and other items deemed too large or dangerous in coat rooms located on the Concourse Lobby level and the Pavilion Auditorium level.

Luke's Lobster sits in the historic Smokestack Building in Brooklyn Bridge Park, right beneath the bridge, so you can grab a bite without straying far from the walkway. Fulton Ferry Landing is located at the foot of Old Fulton Street and offers views of the Brooklyn Bridge.
