From its beginnings in the early 1800s as a retreat for wealthy New Yorkers escaping the overcrowding of lower Manhattan, to the modern neighborhood that looks much like it did 100 years ago, Brooklyn Heights has a fascinating history to tell, one that in many ways mirrors the journey of New York itself. This is the story of where modern Brooklyn was born, and why it remains one of the most prominent and vital neighborhoods in all of New York City.
Join New York Adventure Club as we explore the rich tapestry and lesser-known tales of Brooklyn Heights, a New York City neighborhood that has shaped American history and culture throughout the past 200 years.
