Neighbourhood Walking Tour - Brooklyn

Our first full day in New York began after breakfast with a neighbourhood walking tour, you get paired up with a 'greeter', we had an awesome lady who spent the next 4 or 5 hours guiding us around Brooklyn. We got to see it from a local's perspective rather than just all the normal PC tourist things that regular tour guides give.

The tour included a ride on a carousel.

One of the best things was lunch at one of New Yorks best pizza places (voted #1 by Tripadvisor) and walking over the Brooklyn bridge. So much history to be told and can be easily missed.

The weather had been rather miserable in the morning but stopped raining long enough for us to be able to see the city in all its glory.

If you're ever in New York I would definitely recommend a big apple greeter and to also check out some of the boroughs of NYC, not just Manhattan.
