Item Description

Brooklyn is the home of a burgeoning food culture and with this fun day you can be a part of it. Get your walking shoes ready!

Your first stop is with a Journey into the heart of BROWNSTONE BROOKLYN. Walk along Brooklyn's 5TH AVENUE, where trendy boutiques line the street. Learn about the history of THE WILLIAMSBURG BANK, the borough's tallest building. Visit THE OLD STONE HOUSE (pictured on this page), where George Washington's troops battled the British in 1776. See America's oldest piece of standing baseball memorabilia. Walk past the childhood home of AL CAPONE. See the beautiful architecture of the Raymond F. Almirall designed PUBLIC BATH NO. 7 where people bathed in the early 1900s. Visit the famous ARCH OF GRAND ARMY PLAZA. Enjoy beautiful PROSPECT PARK featuring the longest meadow of any park in AMERICA and over 200 documented species of birds! Also included with your tour is lunch at a real BROOKLYN PIZZERIA!

After you have had your fill of pizza, you will have another wondeful- but -this- time- food- centric tour of the famous Brooklyn Flea market. This will be a guided 2 hours through the best of favorite food and drink vendors with staff from Brooklyn Flea!

We know that you will be tired after all that walking but you can end your day at Seersucker. Called “small, but brilliant” by Time.com, Seersucker is a 40-seat neighborhood spot inspired by the food and hospitality of the South. According to The New York Times, “It’s urbane, soft spoken and modern, the kind of place where actual residents of Chapel Hill, Nashville or Birmingham might go."
