I found your culture guide particularly interesting because, though I had gone to school in the area and have wandered around that part of Brooklyn for hours on end, I never knew it had a formal name, Brooklyn Heights. That area actually encompasses so many different and vibrant neighborhoods that seeing its history as a whole really interested me. I loved that you included the Barclay’s center, as I actually graduated high school there and so it holds a special place in my heart. One thing you did not include in your Guide is Spike Lee’s studio, which is actually located in the Fort Greene Neighborhood, a five minute walk away from the Barclays Center. It changes its decoration pretty frequently so I like to pass by there every once in awhile to see the new design on the door. Overall, Brooklyn Heights is a place that is very special to me and was very formative to my high school years and your guide did a great job showcasing what it has to offer.

I found your urban arts and cultural guide to be very informative about the history, events, and attractions of Brooklyn Heights. However, one interesting place within the neighborhood that was on the map but you did not mention was the New York Transit Museum. Housed in a former subway station, the New York Transit Museum presents the history and construction of New York City’s century-old subway system that has become a vital and integral part of the city, transporting millions of commuters each day. The museum also presents the history of the city’s surface transportation such as trolleys and buses from the early 1800s to the 21st century. Considering how vital public transportation is to New York City, this would be a very interesting attraction to visit and experience.

You guys did an excellent job on your urban cultural guide. You guys effectively captured every part of Brooklyn Heights and incorporated many attractions that I had no idea of. I’ve always wanted to visit Brooklyn Heights and have made my own personal list of all the places I want to visit there. One of the things that you guys did not include in your guide was the Brooklyn Giro Bicycle Tours. The age requirements are 13 and up and they ride at a pace of 6 to 8 miles per hour. The tours average 10-15 miles and the tours begin in Dumbo, Brooklyn.I would love to go on a tour like this to see the many attractions of Brooklyn.

I enjoyed your Urban Arts and Culture Guide to Brooklyn Heights. I hadn’t known that Walt Whitman had lived there at one point because I live near the Walt Whitman Mall in Dix Hills on Long Island which is by Whitman’s birthplace and the house is considered a landmark. I liked how you displayed the different places and events that go on in Brooklyn Heights and how it is more user-friendly than some tour guides. I saw you mentioned the different eateries in Dumbo, but maybe there could’ve also been one food or dish that you would recommend to anyone visiting the area (Something that is a must eat).
