My name is Dom G. and I'm a native Brooklynite who has been conducting "Made in Brooklyn" themed tours since 2011 after a career working for high tech hardware manufacturers. Inspired by the makers I discover on my travels, I seek out who's makin' it right here in Brooklyn. My tours feature creative people and local businesses, honor the innovators of Brooklyn's Industrial Revolution and highlight what makes Brooklyn so great. I personally design all my tours and am a bonafide licensed NYC Sightseeing Guide.
