Brooklyn Neighborhood Spring Tour
Tuesday March 5, 2019
Hello, Boomers! Spring is just around the corner. Time for us to hit the road for our first event of the year. This is the one you have been asking for – a tour of the homeland – Brooklyn! We are going to see it all. The tour includes a visit to Brooklyn Heights and a walk along the famous Promenade overlooking Manhattan. We’ll visit Truman Capote’s home, Flatbush Avenue past the Brooklyn Academy of Music, the Barclays Center, Grand Army Plaza, the Brooklyn Museum, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, the original location of Ebbets Field where the Brooklyn Dodgers once played and a drive through beautiful neighborhoods like Park Slope and Windsor Terrace. Movie locations on the tour include The Godfather, Moonstruck, As Good As It Gets, Dog Day Afternoon and many more. Included in the day’s activities is lunch at Junior’s, one of Brooklyn’s most famous eateries. This is a full sit-down lunch with a half sandwich, fries and soft drink. Dessert is included and consists of a slice of Junior’s famous cheesecake and a vanilla or chocolate egg cream.
