Full description

Hop aboard our climate controlled luxury minibus and take a journey to the new culinary center of the Big Apple, where food and dining trends are dispersed to the rest of the country, in Brooklyn. And with this half-day tour, you can take a big bite out of it. From old ethnic enclaves to the latest hipster 'hoods, Brooklyn's dining scene is both diverse and cutting edge. Munch on pierogies in Polish-dominated Greenpoint and tasty Mediterranean fare in Williamsburg. Chocolate bon-bons in DUMBO. You’ll also get to enjoy freshly made empanadas in Park Slope, coal brick oven pizza in the Gowanus area and finish off with a cannoli in Carroll Gardens. This guided bus and eating tour of New York's coolest and tastiest borough is ideal for foodies and the people who love them.

Laurie and I believe the drivers name was Juan when I tell you these two are a dynamic duo. Laurie is very knowledgeable about the city old and new. While Juan provides a smooth trasition between boroughs. The tour takes about 4hours. The ride is smooth, and the food is delectable. You genuinely don't want to miss out on such a great experience Hey you two YOU ROCK THANKS AGAIN
