Eat Your Way Through 100 Years of Italian American History in NYC
Come with us as we peel back the curtain on Williamsburg, Brooklyn to uncover the stories, food, and spirit of the Italian American community that has been at the heart of the neighborhood for over 100 years.
On this Italian American walking food tour, we'll trace the story from Italy to Brooklyn — learning how Italian food transformed after immigration to the U.S., why many Italian American classics aren't served in Italy, and how Italy eventually worked to distinguish native Italian cooking as its own cuisine.
Along the way, we'll visit the Italian American restaurants, delis, bakeries, and shops of Williamsburg that have preserved their businesses — and their culture — through decades of change in the neighborhood. This is Brooklyn food history you can taste.
Our story unfolds over 6 tastings: fresh pasta, wood-fired pizza, the best pastries in the borough, deli meats of your dreams, and red sauce everywhere. Trust us — you won't leave hungry.
