Overview

Discover Brooklyn’s trendy, artsy neighborhood through food, views, and storytelling on this private culinary walking tour led by an expert local foodie. We’ll kick things off with a Michelin-rated, Brooklyn-born restaurant as you learn about DUMBO’s historic roots.

Walk beneath the legendary Brooklyn Bridge, snap a photo of your group with the Manhattan skyline, and continue through streets shaped by artists and artisans as you hear the remarkable story of how this industrial waterfront transformed into the vibrant creative hub it is today. Along the way, you’ll sample a variety of local flavors, from a 1930s pizza legend to an unassuming Asian fusion restaurant praised by locals but often called a hidden gem.

You’ll even have time for a decadent sweet treat at the original Jacques Torres Chocolate, where you’ll learn how Mr. Chocolate himself pioneered the bean-to-bar movement in America.

Hip, hyperlocal, and always surprising — this is DUMBO at its most delicious.
