Our DUMBO walking tour is more than a food tour. Enjoy Brooklyn’s amazing flavors, with recommendations from your guide, as you soak up its culture, history, and scenic sights.
Travel back in time to 1776 as you stand where General Washington made a difficult decision to save his trips when outnumbered two to one. Less than a hundred years later, Brooklyn was again at the center of history, home to a simple red brick church that became a key waystation on the Underground Railroad.
Your guide will entertain with stories of DUMBO past and present, and you’ll taste some of its best foods, like a Sicilian slice at L&B Spumoni Gardens, a Brooklyn institution, and a bite of the Northeast's finest at Luke’s Lobster. Indulge your sweetest cravings with creations from Jacques Torres of Netflix fame, aka Mr. Chocolate.
From Pebble Beach to a warehouse turned retail powerhouse to sweeping views of the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges, explore the best of DUMBO with a local who knows its secrets.
