Windy Brooklyn Start

  5. In Dumbo, he points out filming locations, the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory area, and the famous Water and Washington Street photo spot.

Brooklyn Bridge Walk

  6. He explains that much of the bridge's original structure remains, including main cables, many suspender cables, and much of the steel superstructure.

City Hall And Lower Manhattan

World Trade Center Memorial

  1. Inside the Oculus, he shows the preserved original World Trade Center E train entrance and marked doors from the post-9/11 survivor searches.
