Itinerary
Meet in the world-famous Greenwich Village neighborhood, where you’ll board a coach bus for the Brooklyn food tour.
Trendsetting cafés/ Old Williamsburg: We take a drive through the Ultra Orthodox Hasidic Jewish area where time seems to stand still. New Williamsburg: This rapidly-changing home to the “Brooklyn Hipster” is a thriving art community with a dazzling array of shops, restaurants and night spots!
- Polish heritage, pierogi & kielbasa Home to one of the largest Polish populations in the United States, you’ll see a mix of old and new businesses on Manhattan Avenue, which resembles a main street in “small-town” America. Greenpoint’s refreshing feel makes exploring the neighborhood and its culinary delights a real pleasure.
This neighborhood is developing restaurants, art spaces and music venues around its infamous canal. Industrial warehouses and modest row houses stand side by side with excellent culinary and entertainment options.
- Old‑world Italian charm & cannoli This Italian immigrant neighborhood of hip bars, boutiques, and restaurants has never lost touch with the past. Garden-fronted brownstones mix with Italian eateries and shops on Smith and Court Streets.
-Waterfront views & artisan chocolate Converted industrial warehouses and vintage loft spaces dominate this arts-oriented neighborhood where you’ll visit Brooklyn Bridge Park for an excellent view of Manhattan’s famous skyline.
You can even end your Brooklyn sightseeing adventure by walking back to Manhattan across the Brooklyn Bridge…or ride back on the coach to the starting point of the tour in Greenwich Village.

While Juan provides a smooth trasition between boroughs. The tour takes about 4hours. The ride is smooth, and the food is delectable.
