What you'll do
On our Secret Food Tours: New York - Brooklyn, you'll feast on some of the best food in this part of the city. Throughout its history it has been home to immigrants from the Netherlands, England, Italy, Eastern Europe, Asia, and Latin America. The influence of these cultures is evident in the delicious and diverse food choices you'll find throughout this neighborhood to this day.
Our tour will explore this neighborhood's diversity and how food is the bond we as locals, all share.
All the food will be served with water and at times, a non-alcoholic beverage. Or if you prefer, a thoughtfully curated Upgraded Drinks Package is available.
- We'll enjoy some roast duck and rice.
- You'll sample a Mexican tostada, one of the most popular snacks for our neighbors to the south.
- We'll continue our culinary excursion for the best authentic handmade dumplings in southwest Brooklyn!
- We'll check out one of the most well-loved and gorgeous Italian bakeries in the entire city, and take away a delicious treat as well!
- Bubble tea, the Taiwanese "drink-snack", rounds out this gastronomic adventure!
- As with all our tours, there's our delicious Secret Dish.

WHY BENSONHURST?
We chose the Bensonhurst neighborhood for our Brooklyn food tour because of the area's incredibly diverse and delicious food scene. It has a deep-seated connection to our diverse immigrant history, and important connection to the creation of our nation. This neighborhood allows visitors a snapshot of authentic Brooklyn living.
You will travel through nearly 400 years of history as we make our way through the cultural and culinary creations that put Bensonhurst on the map! You will leave this tour with a deeper understanding of our evolving ethnic populations and how various cultures have influenced, not only our food choices, but our very way of life.

What if it rains or I change my plans?
Unfortunately, the weather is unpredictable in New York. We do not issue refunds as per our terms and conditions. We also inform you that we never cancel a booking even if we have only 2 people! However we do reserve the right to cancel the tour if we feel the weather is extreme, and we cannot run the tour due to this for more info see our Terms and Conditions: https://www.secretfoodtours.com/terms-and-conditions/
Can I pay the tour in cash?
You must book directly on our website. We do not accept cash payments. Our online payment is safe, secured and SSL protected.
Why do we need to pay for booking fee?
The booking fee that you have to pay is up to our ticket provider and we can't change it. All our clients need to pay for it upon booking. The booking fee charged contributes to the cost of the ticketing system to provide an excellent service to our customers.
Foreign Transaction Fees
A few banks have charged their customer an extra fee while booking with us (this isn't the booking fee but another fee added by the bank). We think this is unfair, if this happens let us know by showing us in your bank statement and we will refund this fee as a gesture of good will.
