The area of tourism for our group is culinary tourism. Culinary tourism is the pursuit of eating and drinking experience while traveling, to enjoy and taste the culture of the community. Around the Brooklyn Bridge Park and DUMBO area, there are many great places to experience and taste the Brooklyn culture of New York. Ranging from small little hole-in-the-walls such as the Lizzmonade Brooklyn Pop-Up Pool where you can enjoy various kinds of custom drinks, to a great eatery with an outdoor terrace at the Brooklyn Bridge Garden Bar. You can also enjoy an ice-cold ice cream dessert anytime of the day and year at the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory or sit down and sip a nice cup of steaming hot coffee at the Brooklyn Roasting Company, which features coffee beans from all around the world. There are various ways to experience the taste of Brooklyn. Four significant areas that are worth visiting are the River Cafe, Smorgasburg, Dumbo’s Food Truck, and the Brooklyn Grange. The River Cafe, with an Michelin’s Star rating, features a fine dining experience with an New American Menu and a stunning view of the river and Manhattan skyline. Smorgasburg and Dumbo’s Food Truck, on the other hand, are also great places to eat for those who may prefer something cheaper. It features a variety of food from the Brooklyn style food to vendors and trucks. With the Brooklyn Grange, you can enjoy time with nature with the world’s largest organic rooftop garden. Because there is a wide range of activities to do around the Brooklyn Bridge Park and DUMBO area, you can experience the culinary tourism of Brooklyn to the fullest.
