DELICIOUS FOOD, HISTORY, CULTURE & FUN!
Brooklyn is big! If it was not part of New York City, it would still be the 4th largest city in the USA; it has 43 distinct neighborhoods full of diversity with people from almost every country on Earth. With that comes all of the amazing traditions, history, and mouth-watering food they’ve brought with them. To put it simply, no trip to New York is complete without a stop across the bridge to experience and eat your way through Brooklyn.
Let us take you on a half-day food, history, and cultural journey through 4 unforgettable Brooklyn neighborhoods. You’ll follow the trail of NYC’s immigrant groups and cover a lot of ground as we travel together in a Foods of NY bus. Cross the Williamsburg Bridge, enjoy breathtaking views of the historic Brooklyn Bridge, learn about the Hasidic Jewish population, eat Polish kielbasa and pierogies in Greenpoint, and check out the fresh hipster vibe and street food in North Williamsburg. Six generous tastings await you, including a true New Yorker favorite: pizza, as you explore a borough bursting with cultural and culinary personality.
This tour’s unique features include: bus tour (not a walking tour) and a longer duration than you’ll experience on other tours.
