April 15, 2015 Happy tax day! If you haven’t been to Artists & Fleas on North 7th Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, you are missing out! It’s an artist, vintage and flea market that was established in 2003. There is another location in Chelsea Market and in Los Angeles as well! We stop in on our Sunday Funday Brooklyn Tour so don’t miss it!

April 11, 2015 We were so pleased to have the Brooklyn Travel Addict join our Sunday Funday Brooklyn Tour. Here is what she had to say: Like a Local Tours has chosen to highlight this “real life” side of NYC with specialized tours in various neighborhoods in the city. Curious to see what they considered “a local,” I joined founder Lauren Beebe, and her team for their Boozy Brooklyn Food Tour in Williamsburg. I knew the tour was authentic when the first 2 stops were places I actually frequent, but was pleased to discover many new places that I had never been! If you’re visiting New York for the first time and are willing to break away from the hustle and bustle of Manhattan, check out their Sunday Funday tour!

We were so happy to host a special Williamsburg Bites Foodie Tour for reps from various NYC Tourism offices around the world! Our group was like a walking United Nations with guests from Japan, India, Korea, Australia, China and New Zealand!
Be sure to check out one of our Brooklyn Tours on your next visit to the Big Apple!
We are frequently asked for our favorite brunch spot in Williamsburg. Why? Well because people brunch before our SUNDAY FUNDAY Williamsburg Brooklyn tour of course! So we decided to share our list:
Honorable mentions (mostly because of the wait) include: Egg, Five Leaves, Sweet Chick, Diner, and Pies-N-Thighs. If you want to go all fancy on us, check out The Elm or Allswell. And for pizza brunch: Motorino!
Don’t forget to take our boozy SUNDAY FUNDAY Williamsburg Brooklyn tour!

Christina Tosi, the co-owner of Momofuku Milk Bar bakery in New York, says she’s excited to bring baking to the forefront of the “MasterChef” franchise because chefs are sometimes afraid of baking. Congratulations to Christina and Momofuku Milk Bar! Check it out on our Williamsburg Bites Brooklyn Food Tour!
We think their social media post says it best: we’re excited to finally spill some beans: @christinatosi is the new judge on @MASTERCHEFonFOX & @MasterChefJunior and she’s bringing compost cookies, birthday cake & #milkbarlife to @FoxTV this year! #gotosigo #boomboomboom

Wanderable enjoyed our Sunday Funday Brooklyn Tour and we are now featured on their website and in this article:
Cool As A Cucumber: Indulging in the Refined Tastes of Williamsburg, Brooklyn – Ahhh, Williamsburg: the world capital of rooftop gardens, abstract geometric tattoos, and artisanal espresso drinks. There are many neighborhoods all over the planet that attempt to emulate it, but Williamsburg is the real deal. No imitators can compete with the effortless swagger of this painfully artistic hood. You’ll walk around holding hands with your best friend & lover and gaze at the lanky bohemian spirits in a universe where shaving is totally optional. With all that in mind, we’re grateful to announce to you our new partnerships with Like A Local & Get Up and Ride, two concepts that will infuse the travels of young lovers with the essence of all things Brooklyn.
Our Sunday Funday Brooklyn Tour has been featured in Details Magazine Blog! The article is so good we are going to requote it! “One of my best experiences this summer included being a tourist in my own neighborhood. Although I live in Brooklyn, I find that I spend most of my time in the city for work, events etc and come back to Brooklyn just to sleep. Leaving no room to just..explore. The tour was informative, not only pointing out some of the latest spots to grub and shop but the history behind it all. I won’t share the most shocking part…you will have to find out for yourself. I also have a cool map that is now taped to my wall with the best destinations that I can no say ive experienced. I invite you all to check it out. There are still spots left so book it now and thank me later –>> Sunday: Like A Local Williamsburg Brooklyn Tour.” Click here to view the article.
