New York City Tours by Urban Oyster
Revealing the hidden pearls of New York City's neighborhoods!
Our Eat Like a Local Tour is now our Neighborhood Eats Tour
Urban Oyster is relaunching its Eat Like a Local Tour as the new Neighborhood Eats Tour. This will be a series of tours that explores the food stories of neighborhoods all over New York City, starting with our own home neighborhood along Smith and Court Streets in Brooklyn. The neighborhoods of Carroll Gardens, Boerum Hill, and Cobble Hill are home to one of the best concentration of culinary treasures in the entire city. Not only is the food great but these Mom & Pop shops all do business with each other, local farmers and suppliers creating a vibrant food ecosystem that is the envy of communities everywhere. Come sample some amazing food, meet the incredible owners of these places and dive into the history and story of a community powered by food.
Tours start April 28th and run every Saturday afternoon. Get more info and buy tickets Here Urban Oyster at the Vendy Awards!
Vendors work so hard, and the Vendy Awards, an event hosted by the Urban Justice Center's Street Vendor Project, is part of a broader effort to support them and showcase the amazing food they produce from such tiny kitchens. Urban Oyster is proud to support the work of this organization through the work that we do. If you missed this year's Vendy's, join us for a Food Cart Tour to learn more about the industry, taste dishes from former Vendy Award winners and nominees, and learn about the Street Vendor Project's advocacy work.
Explore the Origins of Latin American Cuisine on our Immigrant Foodways Tour!
Explore with us how chili peppers spread to countries all over the world from the Americas while the plantain, a fruit native to South Asia, became a staple in Caribbean cuisine. Join us for an Immigrant Foodways Journey through Brooklyn's "La Marqueta" and the Avenue of Puerto Rico, where we'll learn about the influences of various cultures on Latin American cuisines and the changing face of Williamsburg from the 19th century to the present.
