We spent a delightful afternoon with Alex from Urban Adventures, on a small group walking tour of historic Brooklyn, learning about this diverse district via several of the wonderful long-established delis and artisan food businesses in the area. Alex was a knowledgeable and informative guide, the tour was well constructed both in terms of the interesting architecture we passed along the way and the wide range of of food businesses we visted, each providing generous samples of their specialities, all included in the price of the tour. We started off with Sicilian pizza and ended with Brooklyn beer, via the cookie baker, the cheese vendor, the salmon curer, the coffee roaster, the pie maker and a few others besides. It was a fun afternoon providing unique insight. Urban Adventures have several NYC tours on their website and the one we attended was called Brownstone Brooklyn Neighbourhood Eats. In fact we loved the area and enjoyed the tour so much that we intend staying in Brooklyn next time we are in NYC and will enjoy revisiting the delis.
