New! Greenpoint

[In-person tour] Long viewed as a working class and immigrant neighborhood, Greenpoint is now a major hub for the arts and cuisine, with a skyline containing modern high rises. While walking the streets of this neighborhood, we will discuss how the Civil War, pierogies, and pencils are at the core of the culture and architecture we will be seeing. During this tour we will visit the oldest continuously operating elementary school in Brooklyn, housing for employees for the former Astral Oil Works, and learn about how a tiny inlet became the most famous pool in Brooklyn.

For all tours, there are no refunds, cancellations, or exchanges unless we cancel a tour. Online registration closes one hour prior to the tour start time.
