Experience the best travel stories for yourself!

You may not immediately compare Brooklyn to a small town, but the hippest borough is made up of distinct community-oriented neighborhoods that thrive and blossom because of the local mom-and-pop businesses, many of which have been here for generations. Throughout this neighborhood food tour, we celebrate the businesses by telling the stories of the people involved, by sampling some of the delicious food being sold.

We went with Mickey on a snowy day, and the food was tasty! The views (various bridges, brownstones) were nice to see as well.
Great experience. Very...

Great experience. Very informative and yummy. I thought I would still be hungry after the first few stops, but by the halfway point, I was worried I wouldn't be able to finish the bites! A little taste of everything--from croissants and cookies to bagels, traditional spinach pie, and pizza (and more). Plus, a lot of history with Sara, it was great and just what my family wanted. To note: it is three hours because we hit 3 different parts of Brooklyn and like 6 different businesses. There was time to purchase things from each place if you wanted a souvenir for later! I went on this tour twice, and the first time I got half a bagel with lox cream cheese. The second time, I got a 1/4 a bagel but with cream cheese and real smoked salmon. Not sure why, both were excellent and nothing to complain about. This tour will go on rain or shine. It was still snowing when this tour began! It made it beautiful, albeit a little cold. Each business was so kind and family-owned/local. You could tell they all cared so much. I will definitely be going back to these businesses (as I live in New York).
Best time with Brooklyn Eat!

We have been on many food tours in many countries. This one was too long on the talking and too lean on the food. Seemed much more like a walking historical tour than a food tour. Consider another tour if you are hungry or a foodie.

Was such a great food tour around the neighborhood. Every mom and Pop store that we went into was super cute and delicious. Alex was amazing and pointed out a lot of the history and architecture that informed all of the food that we ate.
Delicious and fun

My friends and I had such a fun and delicious time on the Brownstone tour with Alex as our guide. We got to eat SO MANY delicious things and enjoy a truly stunning part of Brooklyn. Alex had so much great insider knowledge of the area, and peppered the tour with great history facts and personal anecdotes. Highly recommend!

Great tour with Brian, really knows the area and the food. It was nice to get some of the history of the neighborhoods and shops. The food samplings were all very good, especially liked the hot chocolate and truffle at the end of the tour.
