The tour
Finn’s Brooklyn Food Tour was born out of Finn’s two favorite things: good food, and showing people around his native Brooklyn.
When his now-wife’s friends were visiting them in Brooklyn in 2023, Finn created this tour to show them around his neighborhood and introduce them to culinary staples that have been around since he was a kid. Since then, he’s taken many other visitors on that same tour. Now, he wants to take you.
ABOUT FINN
Finn is a loud, passionate, lifelong Brooklynite whose family history begins in Cobble Hill over 175 years ago (before Brooklyn was even its own borough)! The many generations that have lived in Brooklyn before him provide countless stories of the ever-changing neighborhood. From his great-great grandfather walking over the Brookln Bridge on the day it opened, to his grandfather’s tales as a longshoreman on the docks of what is now Brooklyn Bridge Park—Finn’s family story weaves within the story of the city of New York.
In addition to the incredible food you’ll have on his tour, you’ll also learn about the history of NYC, and how it has evolved over the past 200 years, through the lens of his boisterous, loving family.
When he’s not touring around Brooklyn, he works in commercial and TV production, collects vintage sports jerseys, and enjoys cheering on his favorite NY teams.
