Brooklyn's Atlantic Avenue has long been a
focal point for Arab groups in the area. Starting in the Civic Center
area, we will take a brief walk through the stately historic district of
Brooklyn Heights and enjoy a stunning view of the harbor from the
promenade.
Then it's on to the Middle-Eastern shops that line Atlantic Avenue.
Here in the markets, bakeries, stores and restaurants we will find a
treasure trove of incredible baklava, freshly made pita, fragrant oils and
essences, imported olives and many more culinary delights.
Lunch will be enjoyed at an authentic Middle-Eastern restaurant
serving the magical cuisine of the Fertile Crescent.
*A walk over the Brooklyn Bridge back to Manhattan is
an optional addition.
