Learn to eat like a local on this fantastic, filling, half-day tour of Brooklyn’s trendsetting dining scene. Make your way to Manhattan’s West Village, where you’ll meet your local foodie guide and climb aboard a comfortable coach.
After crossing the Williamsburg Bridge, begin by exploring Brooklyn’s hippest, hottest neighborhood. From acclaimed farm-to-table restaurants to third-wave coffee-roasting cafés, Williamsburg is a launching point for many popular culinary trends. It’s also home to many traditional ethnic enclaves, including an ultra-Orthodox Hasidic Jewish community and deep Italian roots, so you can get an authentic taste of Italy with Neapolitan pizza and a creamy cannoli.
Continue on to Greenpoint, Brooklyn’s traditionally Polish neighborhood, and pop in at a Polish restaurant to sample kielbasa and pierogis.
View the beautiful Prospect Park and have a big slice of Neapolitan Pizza in Park Slope for an authentic taste of Italy. Then explore the deep Italian roots of Carroll Gardens with a creamy cannoli. In the DUMBO neighborhood at the base of the Manhattan Bridge, take a digestion break with a short stroll to the newly refurbished Brooklyn Bridge Park, where you’ll want your camera to capture unbeatable views of the Manhattan skyline. Then indulge your sweet tooth with the famous Bonbons of the Jacques Torres chocolate factory. Your appetite sated, enjoy the urban views on the return drive to Greenwich Village, where your tour concludes.

A Brooklyn Experience
Bernard_M, Jun 2022
Laurie was an excellent guide. We enjoyed hearing the history of Brooklyn and personal stories Laurie added. Our next trip to NYC will include several days to explore Brooklyn based on the knowledge we learned on this trip. The food was also excellent.

We covered a lot of ground, had wonderful history and facts, and best of all the food and the ride--air conditioned.
Diane_B, Jun 2022
I loved hearing the stories from our guide whether told in the van on the way to our next treat, or pulled over on the sidewalk. This is an extremely rare chance to be eating the snack and hear about the area or shop... It is a the well planned trip and eliminates all the stress
A good time
