A Day in Brooklyn Bike Tour

This full day bike tour is a great way to see Brooklyn. Start at the Brooklyn Navy Yard before heading into Fort Green Brooklyn to see Fort Green Park and talk about the American Revolutionary War. Then head into Clinton Hill, Prospect Heights, and Downtown Brooklyn before crossing into "South Brooklyn". Go through Prospect Park and into Park Slope to see French Renaissance buildings and some of the first mansions built. Next, cross the Gowanus Canal into Carrol Gardens for lunch before making the journey into Red Hook.
With fantastic waterfront views of the Statue of Liberty behind you, go into Cobble Hill and back into "North Brooklyn" to visit the original courthouses and Brooklyn's "City Hall". Explore historically preserved Brooklyn Heights to take in churches and tree-lined streets. Ride through the newly developed Brooklyn Bridge Park for great pictures of the East River and Manhattan. Then pass through DUMBO under the Brooklyn Bridge.

Head along the waterfront into South Williamsburg, home to the largest Jewish community in the US, before going into some of the hippest Brooklyn Neighborhoods: North Williamsburg and Greenpoint. Cocktail stops are possible or some of the best coffee in NYC. Visit Domino Sugar Park, see MacCarren Park, and see how Brooklyn's transformation post zoning law changes in 2005 made these neighborhoods a reality.
Duration: 5 - 6 hours
