What to do and see in Brooklyn, New York (NY): The Best Fashion Shows & Tours

April 13, 2022 Myesha Cogley

It seems like most folks have a grandmother, great-uncle or some other distant relative that used to live in Brooklyn, or perhaps a friend that lives there now. In the early 1900s, it was a mecca for immigrants arriving via Ellis Island. A hundred years later, young professionals and artists left pricey Manhattan digs for Brooklyn's cheaper and more expansive space. Neighborhoods like Brooklyn Heights and Park Slope, which had fallen into disrepair over the years, were restored and reborn as funky enclaves. Walk or bike over the historic Brooklyn Bridge (or ride the subway) to Brooklyn Heights for a stroll along the Promenade and breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline. Meander through Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens for a taste of nature in the urban wilds. Catch a performance at the world-famous Brooklyn Academy of Music. From the delicious Italian restaurants of Bensonhurst to the Irish bars that line the avenues of Bay Ridge, from the hotdogs and rollercoasters of Coney Island to the bagels and handball courts of Greenpoint, Brooklyn is a state of mind as well as a dynamic community. Discover why, no matter where people move on to, they remain Brooklynites at heart.

Join us as we explore an exciting part of Brooklyn, Red Hook, which features spectacular views of the statue of liberty and lots of innovative and fun food, craft distilleries, a winery, art and more. The Official Guide to NYC says, “The occasional cobblestone street and an industrial vibe (a holdover from when it was one of the country’s busiest shipping centers). It’s the big city infused with a touch of New England, and its residents include artisans, musicians, gardeners and a host of other creative and entrepreneurial types.” Tour Includes: Food at Hometown BBQ (NYC’s #1 food critic rated BBQ joint), wine tasting at Red Hook Winery, tasting at Widow Jane Distillery and Cacao Prieto Chocolate Factory, Steve’s Key Lime Pie and a visit to Raaka Chocolate and Pioneer Works (multi-use art “factory”) when open. We strongly recommend a Noon start time to avoid a wait at Hometown BBQ. Arrive or depart by ferry for great views of Lady Liberty and Governor’s Island.
