Overview

Experience the best travel stories for yourself!
You may not immediately compare Brooklyn to a small town, but the hippest borough is made up of distinct community-oriented neighborhoods that thrive and blossom because of the local mom-and-pop businesses, many of which have been here for generations. Throughout this neighborhood food tour, we celebrate the businesses by telling the stories of the people involved, by sampling some of the delicious food being sold.

What's Included

  • Walk 3 hours and explore diverse Brooklyn cuisine, from New American to Italian, the Middle East
  • Meet local shop owners and hear their personal stories and business journeys
  • Taste 7 food tastings at locally owned, artisanal food shops
  • Additional food and drinks
  • Tips / gratuities for your guide
