New York Experience: Brooklyn Food, History & Culture Tour

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 To Expect

Smith Street

We spend the first part of the tour along one of the most exciting restaurant districts of Brooklyn. Wandering up and down Smith Street in Carroll Gardens, we stop into many of the local mom and pop businesses including a renowned baker, an impressive cheese shop, and an adorable little cookie bakery.

Carroll Gardens

As we stroll through this picturesque neighborhood we learn how it got its name, about its history as an Italian and Irish immigrant neighborhood, and how the waterfront helped transform it. We meet residents and shop owners and taste some great pastries, house roasted coffee, and visit an old-school soda fountain.

Cobble Hill

This historic district features some of the most beautiful brownstones in all of Brooklyn. Feel like a local as we wander through the residential streets and beautiful parks. Admire the architecture and visit many of the mom and pop businesses in the neighborhood.

Brooklyn Heights

We just touch on the southern end of this historic neighborhood by walking down the main commercial street of Atlantic Avenue. Here we get a sense of how locals shop by visiting one of the legendary Middle Eastern bakeries.

Brian is amazing! Somehow we had the serendipitous good fortune of having Brian as our tour guide twice now. The highlight of both of our trips to New York was learning the incredible history and tasting the yummy goodies hand picked by Brian as we explored some of the best neighborhoods and the history that comes along with it we went to Brooklyn before, but had no idea what to look at or where to eat. Brian is able to take you through the neighborhood like a local friend wood while explaining all the great things you’re looking at and tasting. I cannot recommend him or this tour, highly enough.

This was a great, relaxed tour of Brooklyn, with a variety of food stops along the way. AJ did a great job of sharing stories about both the history and the food culture in Brooklyn, and we got to try 6 different items. The portion sizes were perfect, not so large as to get over-full but enough to get a good sense of the flavors. We'd highly recommend this tour.

Our guide Brian did an absolutely fantanstic job in creating a great group vibe and showing us around the diverse culinary and cultural scene of downtown Brooklyn. He is this rare type of tour guide who will genuinely keep in touch with you (if you wish so) and keep assisting you in your travels. Keep up this great work!!
