This is the real Brooklyn food experience—led by a local chef who actually eats here. No tourist traps, no gimmicks—just six family-run spots serving street food New Yorkers line up for. Think Polish pierogi, old-school donuts, iconic halal, and a few hidden gems you’d never find on your own. I’m Nicholas, a private chef with over 20 years in NYC kitchens—from Michelin-starred restaurants to private dining. When I’m not working, I’m walking these exact streets and eating this exact food—and now, I’m walking them with you. Along the way, you’ll explore Williamsburg and Greenpoint’s historic architecture, street art, and the cultures that shaped these neighborhoods. It’s a personal, chef-curated experience that shows you how real New Yorkers eat.

I call this a tour of history, hipsters, Hasids, high-rises, hops and more. Join a long-time Williamsburg resident for a walking tour of one of Brooklyn’s most well-known neighborhoods. Beyond the hipsters (are they still around!?) and new high-rises, Williamsburg is so much more. Learn about the early days before the area was part of NYC, who “William” was, and the many groups that have and still call Williamsburg home. We will visit new and old parks, see some of the coolest places to eat in New York, and perhaps have a beer (which has a long history in Williamsburg). There’s a reason this area is so well-known: it is fascinating!
