Thomas led my father and I on a very interesting, personal tour of Brooklyn Heights. He followed up after the tour on a random question we had (not specific to BH)! A good mix of relevant info about the area as it stands today and its historical context (not told in chronological order, which I appreciated). Highly recommend for people new to Brooklyn and interested in this neighborhood.
