My name is Jeff Stirewalt and I specialize giving tours of Brooklyn, NYC (and Queens).
My passion is to share the culture, history and neighborhoods of my hometown (Brooklyn) with the world! Architecture, current events and food, too.
I could be described as an energetic person - animated and always up for adventure. On my tours you are encouraged to participate, ask questions, or contribute!
My most popular destinations include:
DUMBO - a trendy waterfront loft neighborhood with outstanding views
Williamsburg - a post-industrial district which has become famous for youth counterculture
Brooklyn Heights - a leafy enclave of historic brownstones & mansions
Bushwick – Gritty district of artists and graffiti culture
Long Island City – an old neighborhood of industry has been revitalized into a top place to live, work and play
