Bring your appetite and go off-the-beaten-path to the ethnically diverse and historically Italian-American neighborhood of Bensonhurst - Brooklyn's "Pasta Paradise"! We will visit some of Bensonhurst's favorite old school places to eat and shop. And your guide, a native Brooklynite, will share the neighborhood's history from his own unique perspective.
