Big news! Starting this September, Ben’s Bagel Tours is rolling out two exciting new adventures: The Brooklyn Bridge Whole Wheat Tour and The Greenwich Village Multicolor Bagel Tour. These iconic New York destinations are even better when explored with your favorite tour maven, Ben!.
🥯 Brooklyn Bridge Whole Wheat Tour
Your journey begins across from the Oculus, winds past City Hall, and continues onto the legendary Brooklyn Bridge. Along the way, you’ll dive into its fascinating history while soaking in breathtaking views of the skyline. Crossing into Brooklyn, you’ll discover DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges), a once-industrial hub now alive with art, shops, and culture. The tour wraps up at Fulton’s Landing, where ferries once carried New Yorkers back and forth across the East River.
🥯 Greenwich Village Multicolor Bagel Tour
Step into the heart of the “Village,” a neighborhood with roots going back to Dutch New Amsterdam. Stroll through its storied streets as we trace its transformation—from bohemian haven to beatnik hangout, to the counterculture of the 1960s, and today’s thriving cultural hub. Along the way, we’ll stop at landmarks like the Stonewall Inn, where the modern LGBTQ+ movement took hold, and celebrate the Village’s ongoing legacy in art, music, and history.
