The Catman Do was something completely different. The soup Do sorta replaced it an always takes place the night before the BRT.

The Wine Do is fairly new (compared to the other 2) and always takes place after the other two.

Not everyone attends all 3, and technically, it's not a weekend event. They're all individual.
The Brooklyn Reality Tour was named at the completion of BRT 1. My dear friend magic111, who now watches over us from a first class seat up above, gave the tour it's name. It reminded him of the Kramer Reality Tour noted by mary2e above. As a nod to the original, I post this link. http://www.kennykramer.com/RealityTourText.html

N.B. The last several years, we've stopped in the (now) ultra cool/chic Williamsburg neighborhood (Bedford Avenue). Take the L train from Manhattan to the first stop in Brooklyn. Subway map here... http://web.mta.info/maps/submap.html

WineDo 7 will follow BRT 15. I'm not sure you would call this new.

mary2e is also correct in saying that not everyone attends all 3 events. Too much of a good thing.

Time permitting, I may checkout Canarsie Pier this year. http://www.nyharborparks.org/visit/capi.html
It's a good place to planespot JFK arrivals or departures. It's located in Brooklyns own Gateway National Park. http://www.nps.gov/gate/index.htm

I just realized I didn't respond to a Community thread. Sorry to be off topic.
