New York City has more than one Little Italy and Italian-American cuisine is more than pizza, spaghetti and meatballs. Bring your appetite and go off-the-beaten-path to the ethnically diverse and historically Italian-American neighborhood of Bensonhurst - Brooklyn's Pasta Paradise! On this small group walking tour, we will visit some of Bensonhurst's favorite old school places to eat and shop. Your guide, a native Brooklynite, will share the neighborhood's history and his own unique perspectives as only a local can. You'll learn why Brooklyn continues to draw people from all over the world while we walk and taste.

The smile on our faces is indicative of our experience. We had a grand time visiting neighborhoods and local merchants. Food samples were delicious, adding to the experience of the tour. Tour guide was informative with explanations of the sites as we walked and paused on the way.
