Walking Tour: Sunset Park
About this event
Walking Tour of Diverse Sunset Park
October 16, 10-noon
This is a repeat of the Sept 30 tour
Registration and payment due by Sept 13 at noon
Join veteran Brooklyn tour guide Norman Oder (nylikeanative.com) on a moderately-paced 3-mile walk through a changing neighborhood characterized by diversity. The western segment is significantly Latino, with Puerto Rican residents joined by immigrants from Mexico and Central America. There's also a recently designated historic district. The eastern section is predominantly Chinese, the heart of Brooklyn's burgeoning Chinatown(s). In the middle is hilly Sunset Park itself, containing a WPA-era recreation center and bordering the city's first non-profit co-operative apartments, built by Finnish immigrants. We'll end on Fifth Avenue near some taquerias and other eateries.
Please note this is a 2 hour, 3 mile walking tour with stairs and some uneven walkways. Please do not register if you do not think you can keep up.
Tickets are $20 and must be paid with a credit card when you register.
Checks not accepted.
Tickets are non-refundable unless we can find another member to purchase your ticket. Contact Andi
