Brooklyn Food, Wine & Nightlife

Alison was a great host and the food was delicious! It was a very fun experience and I learned some new, authentic Chinese dishes.

Alison’s passion for cooking authentic food from her home really shines through in the dishes she guides you through. I first met her on her Flushing food tour, where she introduced me to incredible local spots—and this class felt like a perfect continuation of that experience.I was surprised by how many fresh herbs go into Yunnan dishes—and even more impressed that so many came from her own garden. It added a depth and brightness to the food that made each dish stand out.Everything we cooked was unbelievably tasty—I kept eating long after I was full. I brought home leftovers, but the noodle soup didn’t last. I finished it that same night because it was just too good!

This tour was a great experience. We wanted something different to the typical NYC food tour and this was definitely what we had. The stops were unique and all delicious and we learned the history related to the area as well as each type of food we were eating. Nick was extremely accommodating to our group and was very informative! Thank you Nick!

We had a great time with Nick in Astoria! We are regulars in the part of Astoria near the East River, but there's so much to explore and we never had gotten around to other corners. He took us to so many great spots, and knew the history of the neighborhood and the different communities who moved here. Each place we visited was wonderful and delicious, and was a family run business. What a pleasure to see Astoria through a new lens, and to learn so much about how the neighborhood was built!

Curt was an absolutely amazing tour guide and he was extremely insightful on the city, the do’s and don’ts, and even the history of things like fashion NYC. He took my group to some amazing places and had a lot of information for each one. Overall he provided us with a great experience and was a very pleasant tour guide.

Since we started traveling with 4 adults with 4 carry-ons and 4 checked bags we have used Nassau Cab Company for going to the airport. Sam has been our driver each time. There aren't enough words to express how great Sam is, but here are some - attentive, professional, caring, helpful, responsible, excellent driver and a super nice person. We deal directly with Sam to arrange our transportation via text. He promptly texts back. We decide together on a pick-up time. We can pay him with cash or by credit card (there is a small fee for using the card). He is punctual and always gets us to the airport on time. He goes beyond what a driver normally does, doing anything he can to help us. He picks us up at one address, then goes a couple blocks away to pick up my son and his wife. We are so very pleased with Sam and Nassau Cab.

I have taken tours with Urban Adventures and they never disappoint! Erik our guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic! He spoke of the history of each area while buying us treats. We started with pecan tartlets followed by a fabulous breakfast sandwich. After a short jaunt on the Brooklyn Bridge we were rewarded with a bagel with cream cheese. Erik goal besides imparting knowledge of these areas of Brooklyn was that we should not leave this tour hungry! To that end there was another snack,which is a surprise! Finally no food tour of Brooklyn would be complete without a piece of pizza and ours was an original coal fired pizza!!! Fun day and fun way to explore this area!

We were 6 friends who had a super walkingtour with our guide Bridget in Brooklyn. It was such an educational and entertaining tour in a lovely neighborhood. And delicious flavors at all our food stops. We just loved it! Highly recommended

I bought my wife this experience to celebrate her birthday, and it exceeded all expectations. We learnt so much about Southwest Chinese culture and can now confidently navigate a Chinese supermarket to buy all of the produce we need to recreate the dishes at home. We didn't know what to expect walking into a stranger's home, but Alison was welcoming, chatty and an absolute delight to spend time with. Will be recommending to all of our friends!

This was a FANTASTIC experience. Nick was knowledgeable about food, the community, and the entire history behind the food we were eating. The food was amazing and I never would have picked out these locales on my own, they were truly hole in the wall spots. I would follow Nick and his food recommendations anywhere, he is also a great guy to spend an afternoon with.

My group met up with our tour guide, Justin, for our 3 hour private tour in Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn Bridge, and DUMBO. The entire group had a wonderful time. Justin was friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Justin earned an A+ from my group. In addition to walking around the tour packet included food. We ate pizza from Juliana's, which we all thought was delicious, stopped and had a taco in DUMBO, then during the tour we got to satisfy our sweet tooth with an delectable whoopie pie from One Girl Cookie shop, piece of chocolate candy from Jaques Torres Chocolate, and ice cream from Oddfellows. There was enough food for all of us. We all were stuffed at the end of the tour. We would definitely recommend this tour.
