Covid-19 Tests are free, or almost free, for residents and Americans using their medical insurances. However, International Visitors do not have local health insurance and they might be responsible for the full price of the test if they go to certain clinics that take appointments.

Irene was a FANTASTIC tour guide! She was so knowledgeable about the area and was so patient with all our questions. We stopped to use the bathroom and we got coffee halfway through, she was so kind! It was a pleasure learning about Brooklyn from you!
