We obtain (3+1)- and (3+2)-dimensional global flat embeddings of 2+1 uncharged and charged black strings, respectively. In particular, the charged black string, which is the dual solution of the Banados-Teitelboim-Zanelli black holes, is shown to be embedded in the same global embedding Minkowski space structure as that of the 2+1 charged de Sitter black hole solution.
