Sharing culinary heritage with tour groups.
After we moved from Brooklyn, we discovered a lot about our property's unknown Black history... the origin of our history tours.
Until one day, we realized the best way to share that history was through food... That became the origin of our culinary heritage journey.
And now, we're sharing that knowledge (and more!) with tour groups.
We look forward to having the opportunity to share Taste Local History with your group!
