The secret is out: Brooklyn is hot!
Brooklyn, New York City has become a foremost capitol of creativity, culture and innovation. Its vibrant neighborhoods brim with energy; on streets packed with restaurants, boutiques and galleries. Skilled artisans craft tasty, healthy and sustainable culinary creations. Artists experiment with new mediums and designs. And street fashion sets trends across the globe, fueled by independent jewelry, accessory and fashion designers.
Meanwhile, Brooklyn's immigrant communities and ethnic enclaves are a kaleidoscope of diversity: offering tastes, sounds, and smells from every corner of the planet. Their ambitious residents have brought traditions, customs and culture from their native countries, contributing ever further to the vast melting pot of the borough's neighborhoods.
The lure and attraction of Brooklyn lies in its deep and proud history, which becomes increasingly more recognized and cherished. It has played a pivotal role in shaping the face of both the United States and the world. The pinnacle of Brooklyn's historical greatness was the Industrial Age of manufacturing, when it produced more than half of the supply of sugar for the entire world, and was the breeding ground for such inventions as chewing gum, air conditioning, and the teddy bear. Its mighty factories were fueled by waves of immigrants who settled its districts and called them home. These bootstrap communities produced more influential, legendary and infamous people than can be counted: Barbra Streisand, Woody Allen, Mel Brooks, Al Capone, Michael Jordan, Jay-Z and more...
Brooklyn's blend of modern innovation, international culture and longstanding heritage creates a unique, unparalleled environment. One which possesses a distinct flavor and character that can be found nowhere else on earth.
The mission of Brooklyn Unplugged Tours is to reveal this environment and make it accessible to all, from first time visitors to natives of New York City. We aim to present Brooklyn in a way that will immerse, fascinate and provoke thought in anyone, regardless of their background or where they are from. In addition to exploring Brooklyn as it is today, we seek to share an understanding of its past, and then perhaps get an idea of what lies ahead in its future.
We do not merely observe as outsiders, but actively participate. The experiences we provide are interactive and encompass all five human senses: sight, taste, sound, smell and touch.
Our tours are entertaining, educational, tasty and most of all FUN!
