Bushwick Food and Culture Instagram Walk

This experiential small-group tour weaves through Bushwick's past and present, telling the story of the neighborhood's wealthy foundation as a US beer hub pre-Prohibition and how the area has changed over time. We'll discuss Bushwicks' past while savoring an authentic Mexican pastry from a bakery that's been open for over 20 years, before touring NYC's largest outdoor art gallery. Called The Bushwick Collective, the attraction features 15+ blocks of amazing murals. This is hot spot for comment-worthy Instagram photos, and we'll discuss the culture of street art, the artists themselves and how the collective came to be.

Hungry? Savor a delicious chorizo (or vegetarian) taco at an authentic Mexican tortilla factory. Once fueled, wander through more street art -- Bushwick has way more painted walls than bare ones -- before entering a raw chocolate factory to sample some terrior-focused treats laced with sea salt, ginger, coconut and other delicious natural ingredients. Learn the local chocolatier's story, taking his product from something he made in his small Brooklyn loft to delivering it by bike to local businesses to finally having his own warehouse-turned-factory space. You'll even be able to see the chocolate being made in the small open factory.

We'll end the tour in Bushwick's Brewer's Row, seeing 19th century breweries-turned-modern craft beer bars. We'll even stop in one for a local brew!
