Long before ‘Anora’ won the Oscar for Best Picture in 2025, the neighborhood of Brighton Beach has captured America’s imagination.
We’ll discuss the history of the neighborhood from turn of the century resort destination to diverse immigrant enclave today, with stops at local markets, cafes, community landmarks, and filming locations along the way. The tour will end on the famous Boardwalk during the sunset hour.
Please wear comfortable walking shoes and bring water and sun protection as we’ll be right next to the beach on the boardwalk.
Accessibility
We will be going over uneven surfaces on the boardwalk and sidewalk. Please use caution.
While the Brighton Beach B/Q station does not have elevators, the nearby Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue station has elevators and ramps.
Location Information
RSVP is required and capacity is limited. Meeting location, ending location, and directions will be provided via email before walk date.
