Brooklyn Bridge and Brooklyn Heights History and Tasting Tour August 21, 2010

Two tours for the price of one! First, walk across the bridge to learn about its creation and early history. Then stroll through Brooklyn Heights, once a haven of Victorian wealth, with stops at Plymouth Church, where Lincoln and Walt Whitman worshipped; the Promenade with its glorious view of Manhattan and the house where Truman Capote penned 'Breakfast at Tiffany's.' Along the way, taste the area's classic and contemporary foods, from Brooklyn egg creams to spinach pie and baklava.
