A walk thru two of Brooklyn’s most ethnic neighborhoods: Hasidic Jewish and Brooklyn’s own Chinatown. About 5.5 miles walking with dropout points all along the way. Both of these neighborhoods were a part of the Dutch village of Nieuw Utrecht. Borough Park (the Hasidic area) has always had a strong Jewish presence, being the home of Buddy Hackett and David Geffen. Sunset Park (Chinatown) was once a part of Bay Ridge and the home of a large Scandinavian community; it is now the second-largest Chinese enclave in NYC.
Note: There will not be access to any restrooms on this walk.
