On this full-day walking tour, we'll explore the best of NYC's residential neighborhoods. In the morning, we'll visit the stunning residential streets of Brooklyn Heights. Then we'll make our way through the fascinating former warehouse district of DUMBO. In the afternoon, after walking the Brooklyn Bridge, we'll go to SOHO, the largest cast iron district in the world. We'll finish the adventure winding our way through the historic and charming streets of Greenwich Village.
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.)
