FOOD TOUR DESCRIPTION
The Best of Brooklyn
Half-Day Food
and Culture Tour
Bus Tour
Explore the must-see borough of Brooklyn by bus! Food, 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. Pick up and drop off are in Greenwich Village in Manhattan, but you can choose to finish in Brooklyn and walk back to Manhattan via the Brooklyn Bridge, a quintessential NY activity!

The tour was the highlight of the trip! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the food and the history. He was so entertaining, and the food was FABULOUS! I was full halfway through, but couldn't stop eating, especially when we got to the cannoli!

I was hesitant to go on a food tour. I wasn't sure if it would be worth the time or money. I was WRONG. One of the best things I've done in NYC! Our guide was amazing and had so much knowledge! I will do another! WORTH EVERY PENNY.

I am not the tour type. I live in NYC and got this as a gift but was skeptical. I couldn't have been more wrong. What a great time! Not only does the guide entertain, she feeds you! We were treated like VIP’s everywhere. BEST GIFT EVER.
