6-Hour Brooklyn Tour with Private Driver-Guide

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 it's own city (as it was up until 1898). You will be picked up at the New York City location of your choice and head out on an urban adventure, traveling by late model comfortable mini-van from Greenpoint ("Little Poland") 11 miles all the way out to Brighton Beach ("Little Odessa") and back.

You will spend time in Brooklyn Heights - the largest ensemble of pre-Civil War housing (mostly Brownstones) in American. You will visit the first battle ground of the American Revolution following the Declaration of Independence. You will see it is the battle ground (now cemetery) that the Statue of Liberty is intently focused on and staring at across the New York harbor. You will stroll along the lovely Brooklyn Promenade with beautiful views and photos of the Manhattan skyline. There will also be a stroll in Brooklyn Bridge Park for great views of the BMW Bridges - the Brooklyn, Manhattan and Williamsburg Bridges. You will meander down the boardwalk on Coney Island, next to the Atlantic Ocean and along the beach, with a nostalgic visit the sea-side storied amusement park of yesteryear. On the way through Brooklyn, we will visit Williamsburg, the largest ultra-conservative Jewish community in the world outside of Israel; Park Slope, one of the nicest neighborhoods in New York and Brooklyn's very own Chinatown-Sunset Park.

Finally, a visit to Brooklyn would not be complete if you did not sample some of the delicacies it is known for, like water-boiled bagels (with cream cheese and lox?), wood-fired brick over pizza, Coney Island hot dogs (on Coney Isand!) and more.

At the end of the day, you are sure to say of Brooklyn, along with Jackie Gleason / Ralph Kramden who lived in the borough both in real life and on television, "Brooklyn - how sweet it is!"
