A guide to eating your way across the iron curtain. South Brooklyn is often overlooked and tourism beyond the Dyker Heights Christmas lights and Coney Island's Luna Park is rarely talked about. This is a guided tour with full access to authentic experiences full of delicious cuisine, dancing and entertainment.
It will feel like you have traveled to Russia, Armenia, Georgia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Tajikistan or Uzbekistan in one concentrated area of the city, situated by the ocean.
