Hey there! I am Andy, your official Brooklyn hype man, and welcome to the New York City Audio Tour: Brooklyn History. Hear that distant subway rattle? Smell the roasted street nuts? Look up at the mix of classic brick brownstones and towering stone. My granddad always said Brooklyn is a loudmouth with a heart of gold, and we are about to prove him right. Over ten incredible stops, we will explore tales of sailors and revolutionaries, peeking into the historic Plymouth Church and gazing up at the mighty Eagle Warehouse.
As you walk, my voice will automatically chime in at each landmark. If your phone gets stubborn, just tap play manually. Lost your bearings? No sweat, check the map on your app. If you are burning with a question, drop it in the chat section below. Now, this is a bustling concrete jungle, so keep your eyes peeled for yellow cabs and speedy delivery bikes. Also, we are visiting some grand old religious sites today, like the Diocese of Brooklyn, so make sure your clothing is respectful for those sacred spaces.
If you have not already, head on over to our very first stop, the Center for Brooklyn History, and let us get this show on the road!
