Brooklyn Full Day Walking Tour

Overview

This tour explores some of the most famous and vibrant neighborhoods in Brooklyn. The only constant of any neighborhood in New York City is change, and Brooklyn has undergone more change in the last few decades than any place in the city. You’ll see Prospect Park, where the architects of Central Park fixed their “mistakes”. You’ll see Barclay’s Center, the first major professional sports venue in Brooklyn since the Dodgers left Ebbet’s Field. We’ll go to the Promenade, one of the best places in the City to see New York Harbor and the Downtown skyline. You’ll see DUMBO, the neighborhood with the coolest name in NY, and take a ferry ride under the Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Williamsburg Bridges. After a stroll through Williamsburg, we’ll finish in Greenpoint, one of the hidden gems of New York, with easy subway access back to Midtown and Times Square or Grand Central.

Meeting location for Brooklyn Full Day Walk

Prospect Park

Prospect Park was laid out by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, who also helped design Manhattan's Central Park. Prospect Park opened in 1867.

Park Slope

After the completion of Prospect Park, numerous mansions and rowhouses were developed in Park Slope's eastern section in the 1880s. Park Slope faced social and infrastructural decline in the mid-20th century, but the building stock was renovated after the area became gentrified starting in the 1960s. Much of the neighborhood is overlaid by the Park Slope Historic District, which is composed of a National Historic District and a New York City landmark district.

Brooklyn Heights Promenade

This pedestrian walkway offers spectacular views of Downtown Manhattan, the East River and the Brooklyn Bridge. It’s a favorite destination for joggers, walkers and Rollerbladers, but it also offers a quiet atmosphere for those who prefer to just sit, chat and enjoy the view. The Promenade is lined with grand town houses and mansions, and is part of Brooklyn’s first Historic Preservation District.

Dumbo

Dumbo’s name is an acronym for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass, and the span gives the creatively oriented neighborhood much of its character—as do cobblestone streets and dramatic architecture left over from its industrial days. Instead of factories, today’s Dumbo features art galleries, independent bookshops, boutiques, confectionaries and co-working spaces where startups thrive.

Brooklyn Bridge

The Brooklyn Bridge was designed by John A. Roebling. Construction began in 1869 and was completed in 1883. At the time, it was the longest suspension bridge in the world. The Brooklyn Bridge connects the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn by spanning the East River.

Williamsburg

Though it’s become more refined in recent years, Williamsburg still has a hipster vibe—as evidenced by indie music performances, gallery shows and shops run by local artisans. Distilleries and wineries show off the neighborhood’s flair for locally made spirits, while Smorgasburg packs in creative food vendors along the riverfront on summer Saturdays. Williamsburg is one of the City’s most exciting nightlife neighborhoods too, with many of NYC’s trendiest restaurants and clubs.
