Brooklyn Bridge
About This Location
The Brooklyn Bridge, one of New York City's most recognizable landmarks, appeared in Gossip Girl as both a filming location and a powerful symbol. The bridge represented the connection — and divide — between Dan Humphrey's Brooklyn world and the Upper East Side universe of Serena, Blair, and Chuck. Walking across the Brooklyn Bridge was a metaphor for crossing social boundaries, and the bridge's iconic Gothic towers and suspension cables provided stunning visual backdrops for the show's more contemplative moments.
