Details:
Join a guided walking tour of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and uncover the stories, food, and spirit of the Italian American community that has been at the heart of the neighborhood for over 100 years.
Take a journey to Italy and back again (metaphorically) to learn how Italian food changed after Italians emigrated to the US and why many Italian-American classics aren't served in Italy. After you learn to eat like the old-schoolers, dive into the Americanization of Italian food and how Italy has worked to distinguish native Italian cooking as a separate cuisine.
Along the way, visit Italian American restaurants, delis, bakeries, and shops to learn how they have preserved their businesses through waves of change in Williamsburg. Most importantly, indulge in the lesser-known history and traditions that keep Italian American culture in Williamsburg alive.
