Running On Real Estate for July 31
From Montague Street to the Promenade, Vinegar Hill to DUMBO, to the Eagle Warehouse, Plymouth Church, and back; this is one scenic Brooklyn tour. We’re doing it on foot – we’re running, to be exact. Cruising by brownstones, historic stones and negotiating cobblestones while taking in the sights and sounds of all that Brooklyn Heights real estate has to offer.
I’m the guide leading this tour. Running historic Brooklyn Heights tours is a fun thing I do on some Sunday mornings. I have the privilege of sharing my neighborhood with others. The participating runners are from all over; visitors from abroad and across the country. They stay in Brooklyn hotels, or with friends and family in the neighborhood. Often they take the subway from their hotels in Manhattan to spend an hour or so with me running the streets of Brooklyn Heights. Sometimes a local joins the tour just to learn some interesting facts about this historic neighborhood.
Along the way, we stop at significant landmarks, talk about the remarkable history of this area and take lots of pictures with big bridge views. As always, it gets back to the real estate. Brooklyn Heights boasts some of New York’s most beautiful homes, buildings and tree-lined streets. And I get to show these visiting runners exactly why we call this our home.
