Tours for college, university, and graduate school classes
I have led versions (and/or combinations) of several of my Brooklyn neighborhood tours (or my Lower East Side) for college, university, and graduate school classes (and sometimes even high school classes), and visiting academic or study trips.
The tours can focus on various topics, including urban studies/history, architecture/planning, New York City/Brooklyn immigration, and religious/ethnic diversity. Sunset Park, Greenpoint and the Lower East Side can be especially interesting. Also Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park.
Most tours are in Brooklyn neighborhoods, but I also lead tours on the Lower East Side in Manhattan and Long Island City and Sunnyside in Queens.
I often can adapt the tour to your particular needs. I appreciate being able to see your class syllabus, and a list of the books/resources being used, so I can best prepare.
