But here is how you can make a real day of it. Start out with the annual Brooklyn Heights Association Landmark House Tour. You should be done just in time to have a perfectly timed pre-performance dinner at one of the good local restaurants. The window of time for doing the "go-at-your-own-pace" five town house tour tour is 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM, with tickets available in advance on-line or by phone, or on Saturday at the event from 12:30 to 3:30 PM. The brownstone/townhouse and garden-oriented house tour is fun and raises money for the oldest and one of the strongest community neighborhood associations in the city. (The BHA is part of the Brooklyn Speaks, which is currently litigating against the Atlantic Yards Ratner mega-monopoly.) With luck this will be another year when homes on the Promenade with views of the harbor will be on view. And if you haven't done it before you should take the tour's opportunity to do the docent-led tour of historic Plymouth Church.
