About this experience
Our guide and separate driver will pick you up from your hotel and take you on an adventure to Brooklyn - the oldest and largest borough in NYC. We will show you the old and the new. The Brooklyn of Walt Whitman and Prohibitionism - the 200 year old Brownstone buildings along side the new Dumbo and Tech areas and then head to the absolutely coolest part of the city - Williamsburg. We can take you to a chocolate factory, and amazing handmade crafts Market, the sketchbook library and hands across the world art project, show you street art to blow your mind, Milk Bar ice cream and the Rainbow Bagel store - currently going viral on instagram! Get ready for a crash of cultures and creativity - hip Hasidic Jews meets funky Hispanic skateboarders and the delicious food and explosion of colour that comes as an afterglow of this clash. Wash it all down with a slice (or 4) of Brooklyn pizza as you toast the largest and coolest Borough in the land.
