Immigrant Foodways Tours

Gastronomic group Urban Oyster touches on the cultures that call East Williamsburg home and how they’ve changed the neighborhood’s food scene. (The southern part of the main drag, Graham Avenue, is known as “Avenue of Puerto Rico,” while the northern part is “Via Vespucci,” reflecting its disparate influences.) Tastings vary with each tour; you may be wowed by such delicacies as alcapurrias (stuffed fritters), sancocho (a traditional Latin American stew of chicken, yucca and potatoes) and morir soñando (a creamy orange juice from the Dominican Republic).
