Summary
Offering a version of my very popular, 5-star rated walk over the Brooklyn Bridge. We'll depart from City Hall Park, and travel over the bridge, along the way I'll discuss why Brooklyn Bridge as a timeless achievement both visually and technologically. I'll discuss the Roebling family, the key engineers, including contributions of Washington's wife, Emily. We'll enter into DUMBO, which we'll discuss NYC's dominance in the shipping industry and the neighborhood's hey day of industry. DUMBO is an ideal backdrop to discuss the changing face of NYC as industry has given way to commercial, retail and residential uses along the waterfront. By sunset, we'll conclude in Empire Stores and see how Marvel Architects have transformed the 19th century warehouse into a beautiful mixed use building that still honors it's proud industrial past.
