Our guest, Dominick Gervasi takes us on a brief journey to parts of Brooklyn (Gowanus, Red Hook and Dumbo), as he walks us through the borough’s “Maker Movement.” He is the founder of “Made In Brooklyn Tours.” and we learn about how Brooklyn is on the forefront of manufacturing, building, custom furniture making, clothing design, coffee roasting and more. Find out what Dom’s greenest spot in Brooklyn is (it will surprise you). Being Local is being “GREEN”. Go to www.madeinbrooklyntours.com and book a tour with Dom to find out where stuff is made, who is making it and have some fun.
