Made in Brooklyn Tour

Posted By : dharner23
My parents and I shared a wonderful afternoon with Dom learning about the wide variety of items made in Brooklyn, some dating back to the 19th Century and one shop which opened only 2 days ago! His passion really shines and it was a real treat to meet the artisans and even have some hands-on experience. We will be back the area later this year and look forward to visiting another area of Brooklyn with Dom. Highly recommend!

Dom is a great storyteller. His passion for Brooklyn is contagious. He has lots of connections with local artists and artisans, which makes this trip very special. Moreover he added many personal touches and several little surprises on the way. He has extensive knowledge of the industrial past of Brooklyn, and makes great connections with visual clues in the landscape. The tour was attended by worldwide visitors, and also by locals who wanted to learn more about the place, and they did. I had a fantastic time.

The Made in Brooklyn walking tour was excellent. Dom is very knowledgeable. He not only shared interesting historical facts (supplemented by photos) but also provided a unique opportunity to see the work of and meet artists, creators and small business owners making it in Brooklyn. You'll see the best that DUMBO has to offer and Dom is the right guy to lead the way.

Dom took my wife and I on a great personalised tour of the Dumbo District in Brooklyn last week.

He not only provided us with insight into the history of Dumbo, from its early warehousing to its Arbuckles coffee-making roots to Brooklyn being the home of Brillo pads, international pharmaceuticals firms, et al.

He also took the time to introduce us to a number of the artisans in the area with whom he clearly has long-standing friendships, including local artist Craig Anthony Miller, Yukako Satone's Loop of the Loom studio, and last and definitely not least, Mark Thompson's Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory!

The time flew by, and my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our time with Dom. He loves sharing his passion and knowledge of his backyard with visitors like us.

I cannot recommend Dom's tour highly enough; thanks, Dom, we had a blast.

We loved our Made in Brooklyn Tour! As locals, it was great getting to dive deeper into the history of our own neighborhood. Dom was such a great guide, he was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and passionate about the neighborhood, and New York City, history. He personalized the tour and made it worth coming out on a rainy day!

Great way to get to know Dumbo and learn about both its history and some of the interesting artisans there now. Dom was an excellent tour guide who is passionate about Brooklyn, knowledgable about the local history and willing to personalize the tour. Worthwhile for local residents and tourists from out of town.
