“Fantastic experience - walking over Brooklyn Bridge was epic in the 27C sunshine. People were very friendly and the overall vibe was chilled, happy and a fantastic thing to do. Leaving the bridge and entering DUMBO was brilliant, the whole area was buzzing with people and the venues for food etc were amazing and very welcoming.”

“Wonderful to have a different perspective and to see how much the energy changes in different areas. I have been to New York a few times but never to this area and I’m so pleased I have now. Loved it! Book it in”
