Every time I go to NYC, I try to take one tour. It’s amazing how you can learn something new every time which may explain the complexities of NYC. The tour started at 7 pm and we left early - getting back to our hotel a little after 11:00. I believe it was good value but long after a full day of touring. My 14 year old granddaughter made it through Dyer Heights - and then faded off with the cold, etc. Favorite quote to her grandfather: “I thought your house was decorated nicely until I went to Dyker Heights. grandpa - it’s a bit anemic - you need to step up your game.”
