Brooklyn Street Food Walking Tour: Carroll Gardens to Brooklyn Heights Food Crawl
Taste your way from Carroll Gardens to the Brooklyn Heights promenade on a three-hour guided food walk. Expect family-run bakeries, artisanal cheeses, Middle Eastern sweets and local stories that connect flavor to history.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring a refillable water bottle
Multiple tasting stops mean you’ll need water between bites; many shops won’t provide full bottles.
Wear supportive walking shoes
The route is mostly flat but includes uneven sidewalks and short stair cuts—comfort matters more than style.
Notify dietary restrictions ahead of time
The operator can accommodate common allergies or vegetarian needs if told when booking.
Carry small bills and cards
Most vendors accept cards but having cash helps with quick purchases and tipping at smaller stands.
