Expert Tips for your Experience
For this tour, it is essential to wear thermal clothing and comfortable footwear, especially for the walk in Dyker Heights where the Brooklyn wind can be cold. We recommend charging your device batteries to the maximum, as low temperatures tend to drain them faster and you will want to take photos constantly.
