We all know that Brooklyn is the new Manhattan. Just ask Stacey Toussaint and Sheila Collins. They revere their native borough so much that they started up a business taking tourists to untouristy destinations.

Inside Out Tours offers bus and walking tours of Afro-Caribbean neighborhoods, gospel churches, Underground Railroad stops, urban farms and of course The Brooklyn Brewery. Because what tour would be complete without beer?

I think it’s a great idea. I’m just jealous I didn’t come up with it first. So, I have to mock.

* “Sample ethnic cuisine.”

Where are these tourists from? The mid-west or something?

* “Hang out with hipsters in Brooklyn’s trendiest and hottest neighborhoods.”

Oops, just puked in my mouth.

* “Enter a historic brownstone.”

Hey, can you bring them over to my house? They can help restore a historic brownstone!

Actually, it sounds like fun. Maybe they can hire me to give the Jewey Brooklyn tour.
