We had a lovely time on this tour! It was a surprise for my mother's 60th birthday, and she loved it! Alex was incredibly informative and sweet and did a great job answering our questions. We loved getting to meet some local artists and see their work in the neighborhood! Such a great experience overall. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to learn about the rich history of an artistic and eclectic neighborhood in Brooklyn!
Thank you, Nina! It was a delight to meet you and your family and am so glad you enjoyed the tour :)
Takes you into the studios of fascinating women artists and hosted by someone who really knows the neighborhoods and history. The people I met along the way and in Alex's group were fascinating.
Thank you so much for coming out! I am so glad you enjoyed the walk :)
