Alana, sorry they don't do the tours all year, but definitely worth catching if you're ever here in the summertime. <br /><br />Tony would've loved this, he was a history buff. He would sometimes organize hikes for us in the wintertime, and one really neat one that he did right in Brooklyn was a walk around Green-Wood Cemetery. That may sound like a weird place for a hike but it's actually quite an amazing place, lots of famous people are laid to rest there and the Victorian mortuary architecture is amazing, and the landscaping is lovely. Tony nearly got us kicked out of there once because they don't allow professional tour guides there and he'd done so much research to get ready for this and knew so much that when staff there overheard him they thought he was breaking that rule! <br /> bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794351142636136626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10267465.post-67412723534946282992017-08-30T20:14:30.181-04:002017-08-30T20:14:30.181-04:00Wow!

I have family in Marine Park and never realized how close I was to the field when we would travel through Brooklyn on the Belt Parkway. I never knew there were tours during the summer, either. Unfortunately, the next time I will (maybe) be in New York City is for Thanksgiving. I need to put this on my "travel to New York City" list.Alanahttp://ramblinwitham.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10267465.post-28185059413643299142017-08-30T13:42:04.485-04:002017-08-30T13:42:04.485-04:00That looks like a fascinating tour.
