Ah, Brooklyn…our home sweet home. Brooklyn is never short of adventure - especially in our neck of the woods, known as the Williamsburg area. Williamsburg is one of Brooklyn’s most fun and exciting neighborhoods. This semi-industrial area is mixed with a diverse demographic, attracting the young (and the not so young), as well as the Hasidic and Latino communities. Williamsburg is known for its lively arts, music, neo-rustic bars, and boutiques. Not to mention, the ‘Burg is a large gastronomical hub with a strong DIY spirit.
Of course, the ‘Burg can be a bit overwhelming if you don’t know where to go. That’s why we've compiled a list of some of the top guided walking, bicycling, and food tours that will show you all you need to know about the Williamsburg area.
Made In Brooklyn Tours
Made in Brooklyn Tours are guided walking tours with a “Made in Brooklyn” theme that tell the story of Brooklyn’s industrial revolution and revival. Dom Gervasi, owner and producer of Made in Brooklyn Tours, guides visitors through the Williamsburg area, giving them an inside look on the changing landscape and local manufacturing and arts movement. The stars of Made in Brooklyn Tours are the makers, as tours celebrate the creativity, ingenuity, and entrepreneurial spirit of glassmakers, metalsmiths, culinary artisans, and woodworkers who make wine, chocolate, bicycles, furniture, ceramics and more.
