A Tour Grows in Brooklyn’s exciting and educational walks around historical Park Slope and Prospect Park are led by Richard Kadlub.

"Big Rick" is a 45 year Brooklyn resident as well as a Park Slope native. He is an avid reader, golfer, birdwatcher, and a real people person. He is also a fan of all the diverse cuisines that Brooklyn has to offer. Living in and studying about Park Slope has made Rick very familar with the history and urban folklore of the area.

Rick says it best: "For almost a half a century I have walked and lived among all of the points of interests on this tour. With that, I feel no one is more qualified to lead this tour than myself." Rick’s tours are famous throughout the City and have been featured on channels like CBS.
