   PLEASE NOTE: This itinerary is a detailed EXAMPLE of my 2-hour ICONIC BROOKLYN option.

We begin beneath the dramatic Belgian blocks and massive brickwork of this historic industrial viaduct. It is the perfect location to step close to the neighborhood's unique architectural textures, set a relaxed pace for our walk, and watch the city's living canvas come alive.
