CULINARY TOURISM
- Definition: The area of tourism we have is culinary tourism. It is defined as the pursuit of unique and memorable eating and drinking experiences of the destination.
- People in our group are: Samantha, John, and Jackie
- Observations: Some observations we have made is that most of the restaurants that are directly on the waterfront are seasonal restaurants. Restaurants are closed for the winter and reopen again when the weather gets warmer.
- Activities: One restaurant that defines culinary tourism would be the River Cafe because it is located under the Brooklyn Bridge overlooking the NYC skyline and the Statue of Liberty. It is a modern American cuisine but the chefs use the finest and freshest ingredients available and utilize them as the foundation for the unforgettable dining experience.
- Stopping by the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory and taking a short walk around Dumbo, sitting nearest to the water enjoying a scoop of freshly made fudge ice cream.
- Grab a nice slice of coal-oven pizza at Grimaldi’s, then walk over to the park to picnic out on the lawn by the waterfront. afterwards, make your way to the Jane’s Carousel to ride while the sun is setting away.
- Hang out at Brooklyn Roasting Company and have a cup of one of their many locally roasted, fair trade coffee. Each coffee that they brew come from different parts of the world and has its own unique taste and flavor profile.
