If you are in Brooklyn this Saturday, December 1, you may want to join a free walking tour of "The Irish in Brooklyn Heights." The
New York Irish History Roundtable is conducting the walking tour of Brooklyn Heights and Cobble Hill. John Ridge, the Roundtable president and a local historian, will lead the tour, which will focus on the impact the Irish had in the development of the two historic neighborhoods.
The tour begins promptly at 2:00 p.m. Meet the group in front of Brooklyn Borough Hall, on Court Street, near Remsen Street. To get to Borough Hall, take the 2, 3, 4, or 5 train to Borough Hall Station.
I wish I could go! My half-sister's mother's family is all Irish, all day long, and they were all over New York City.
