Overview

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.

Itinerary

Smith Street

We spend the first part of the tour along one of the most exciting restaurant districts of Brooklyn. Wandering up and down Smith Street in Carroll Gardens, we stop into many of the local mom and pop businesses including a renowned baker, an impressive cheese shop, and an adorable little cookie bakery.

30 minutes
Carroll Gardens

As we stroll through this picturesque neighborhood we learn how it got its name, about its history as an Italian and Irish immigrant neighborhood, and how the waterfront helped transform it. We meet residents and shop owners and taste some great pastries, house roasted coffee, and visit an old-school soda fountain.

30 minutes
Cobble Hill

This historic district features some of the most beautiful brownstones in all of Brooklyn. Feel like a local as we wander through the residential streets and beautiful parks. Admire the architecture and visit many of the mom and pop businesses in the neighborhood.

1 hour 30 minutes
Brooklyn Heights

We just touch on the southern end of this historic neighborhood by walking down the main commercial street of Atlantic Avenue. Here we get a sense of how locals shop by visiting one of the legendary Middle Eastern bakeries.

20 minutes
N/A

We end our tour at one of the cutest businesses in the neighborhood, and a place where you find kids indulging in an ice cream sundae and grandparents enjoying a good old fashioned ice cream float. This revived soda fountain brings the old world and the new world together with modern twist on New York classics. And you need to hear the story about how they first began.

Brooklyn food tour with family

Published on Jan, 2025

We went as a family. The length of the tour was perfect. It is about 3 hours, including the time spent at the food stops. The tour is a nice mix of walking, learning and food. We think that walking is a great way to experience Brooklyn first hand. Our tour guide, Mickey, was very friendly, knowledgeable and flexible and organized the food ordering, including some special requests, at all the stops. We like Brooklyn but still learned new facts and visited new food places. Overall it was a great experience for us, my kids and our visitor.

Highly recommend if looking for a great food tour that also teaches you about the area. We liked all the food stops, from the bagels to the pizza to the cookies and chocolate. Our tour guide, Jessie, was fun and knowledgeable.
