Such a wonderful experience! We were late and assumed we had missed the whole experience, but when we arrived at the designated meeting place, they were still there chatting and enjoying the atmosphere of Stnky's Cheese! Thank you!! My first impression of Brooklyn -- "It's sooo quite". I felt like I was on a TV set. The neighborhoods are just like The Huxtables!. We walked to several family owned businesses - a pub, a cookie shop, a bakery. We had pork slidders where the sauce is made from scratch, and the coffee comes from the coffee bean roasting business on the next block. We went to the Italian pastry baker, got lemon drop cookies, and took them across the street to D'aminco's Foods and ate them with DAmico's fresh roasted coffee!! Where in the world can you buy food from one place, take it across the street to eat with their coffee?? Only in America - and Brooklyn. I loved this tour and would highly recommend it to everyone!
Tour guide was friendly and very knowledgeable. Business owners were hospitable and engaging. And the cuisine was outstanding. Definitely would recommend.
Excellent tour and outstanding guide. Brooklyn is a lively interlinked business community. The store proprietors are friendly and you get to find out about how their business came about. You also get to sample some nice things, Stynkey and One Girl Cookies are great. The tour company Urban Oyster are professional and would recommend them. We had great Saturday afternoon, getting back to New York was though was a bind. Don't bother with the subways, for us they did not work! This is nothing to do with the trip we would like to state...
