On this half-day walking tour, we will explore two completely different neighborhoods separated by the iconic Brooklyn Bridge. Brooklyn Heights, New York’s “first suburb,” is a classic, brownstone neighborhood that boasts a rich history and spectacular views of Manhattan. DUMBO was once a manufacturing hub and now the center of New York’s technology boom. We will finish by walking the iconic Brooklyn Bridge!
I’ll either meet you in your hotel lobby or outside your AirBnB. If it makes more sense to meet at a central location, I will coordinate that with you in advance (and give directions.)
