| After reading "A Tree Grows In Brooklyn" our book club decided to go on a "field trip".
This culinary tour far surpassed all 9 of our expectations!! Isaac, our tour guide was passionate about the city, it's people and history. We got an exceptional overview of the history and the varied cultures that call Brooklyn home. This gustative tour was filled with the aromas and delicate tastes of genuine pure ethnic "old" home cooking. Our senses thoroughly came alive during this culinary tour via the sights, sounds and through our taste buds. Our last stop was at Sunshine Park where Isaac promised an amazing vista as we kicked back and picnicked on the grass. We were not disappointed! The view was spectacular as well as our pulled-pork sandwiches... it just topped off a day filled with adventure, laughs and genuine enjoyment. Bravo! |

| Well, it was a small group of 7 which was wonderful and since the van was broken we were driven around in a stretch limo!!! Isaac knew his stuff and I should know as I visit nyc about 3 times a month for the last several years and do stuff EVERY TIME!! Getting to Old Williamsburg where the Hadassic Jews live probably wouldn't be done on my own much less finding places where the food was excellent and seeing the views of Manhattan while eating Jacques Torres sweets was great and having cuban sandwiches in a cuban area of Brooklyn where there is a park that gives an ENTIRE view of manhattan was great. Recommend it to new visitors and others who have visited manhattan 50-500 times! You'll see something new!! |

| We thoroughly enjoyed this tour from the first moment to the last. Although we had visited New York City on prior occasions, we had yet to venture into Brooklyn even though it’s only right across the river. After having gone on other Food Tasting Tours in Europe, our expectations were pretty high. Needless to say, we were very pleased. The ethnic diversity and colorful flavors of the city really come alive on this tour. The variety of different foods we got to taste in the various neighborhoods were absolutely delicious and uniquely different. I particularly liked the Cuban sandwich in Sunset Park. At times it felt that we had traveled to another country. Overall, we were glad that we took this tour, as it was well planned out and there was enough food served that lunch was not necessary afterwards.
Highly Recommended!!! |

| We enjoyed our tour and were especially surprised at the high quality of the food provided. I definately would not eat before the trip - more food is included than your might think.
I would also take a blanket for the final picnic. The park is lovely and the view is unequaled, but the grass isn't always litter-free and a blanket would be advised. |

| Isaac was fantastic. I got much more than I expected from this tour. It was my first time in Brooklyn. Isaac is very knowledgeable, and made every effort to ensure that we were getting the most out of this tour. He took us to wonderful local eateries and shops where the food is made onsite. We got a look at some very interesting ethnic neighborhoods. And because he had time, and it was a beautiful day, we got to go to Coney Island, too, and have hot dogs at the original Nathan's. I had a great time, as did the others on the tour. I highly recommend it! |

| We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. We ventured into areas of Brooklyn that we were not familiar with. The local restaurants that we tried were fabulous and well worth another visit. |

| My group thoroughly enjoyed our Brooklyn tour lead by Issac. I am from New York (born and raised in Brooklyn) but have resided in Florida the last 13 years. The remainder of my group consisted of infrequent visitors to NYC who had never been to Brooklyn. First, I should commend the staff for altering the start time of our tour to accomodate our schedule and even checking up on us with a phone message to make sure our plane arrived timely. Our tour ended up being a private one in a brand new JEEP, both of which were pleasant surprises. Issac is a gracious and knowledgeable guide and knows much about the neighborhoods we visited. The food locations and choices were enjoyed by all. The bonus of starting on the lower east side with a stop at Yonah Schimmel's (the 1st knish store) was great. The variety of the neighborhoods and foods truly help one understand the melting pot nature of New York. We highly recommend the tour and the company. |
