Stop At: Brooklyn Bridge, New York City, NY 10038
On this private driver-guided tour, you will explore Brooklyn and what would be the fourth largest city in the United States, if it was still its own city (as it was until 1898). After pickup at the New York City location of your choice, you head out on an urban adventure, traveling by late model minivan from Greenpoint (sometimes known as Little Poland), all the way to Brighton Beach (known as Little Odessa).
Stop At: Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY
Stop to spend time in Brooklyn Heights, the largest ensemble of pre-Civil War housing (mostly brownstones) in America. You can visit the first battleground of the American Revolution following the Declaration of Independence, which is now a cemetery. Then you have the chance to stroll along the lovely Brooklyn Promenade with beautiful views and photos of the Manhattan skyline.
Stop At: Manhattan Skyline, New York City, NY
Visit Brooklyn Bridge Park for great views of the BMW Bridges—the Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Williamsburg Bridges. Then head south to visit the Coney Island Boardwalk, next to the Atlantic Ocean, and walk along the beach. This nostalgic visit includes views of a seaside amusement park of yesteryear.
Stop At: Brooklyn Heights Promenade, Remsen St to Orange St along the East River, Brooklyn, NY
On the way through Brooklyn you visit Williamsburg, the largest ultra-conservative Jewish community in the world outside of Israel. Then see Park Slope, one of the nicest neighborhoods in New York, and Brooklyn’s very own Chinatown, Sunset Park.
Stop At: New York Harbor, New York City, NY
Finally, a visit to Brooklyn would not be complete without sampling some of the delicacies it is known for. Try water-boiled bagels (with cream cheese and lox), wood-fired, brick oven pizza, and Coney Island hot dogs (on Coney Island, no less), plus much more.
