Sample Nearly 20 Carroll Gardens and Cobble Hill Restaurants While Strolling Down Court Street

BOCOCA, BROOKLYN — A new way to sample some of the numerous restaurants dotting Carroll Gardens and Cobble Hill is coming to the neighborhood this October, offering a chance to feast and support charitable causes at the same time.

Tastes of Brooklyn is hosting its first Carroll Gardens-Cobble Hill Crawl on Oct. 20 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Tickets, which can be purchased now, are available for either $20, which lets you stroll up and down Court Street while trying dishes from four restaurants, or $50, which allows you to sample the offerings of 11 area restaurants.

A total of 18 restaurants have already signed up to be part of the Crawl, including:

• August Laura
• Avlee Restaurant
• Awash
• Blossom Ice Cream
• Brooklyn Farmacy and Soda Fountain
• Buschenschank
• Caputo's Bakery
• Caputo's Fine Foods
• D'Amico Coffee Roasters
• G. Esposito & Sons
• Jus by Julie
• Lobo
• Marco Polo
• F. Monteleone Bakery and Cafe
• Sahadi's
• Strong Place
• Sunken Hundred
• Take A Break Cakes

What's more, a portion of proceeds from the Crawl will benefit several charities, including Seeds In The Middle, which encourages healthy eating and living in central Brooklyn, and "Save the Village, Save the Elephants," an "ecotourism media project" that will help tourists learn about places to visit where their money will support local elephants and the people who care for them. (You can learn more at Good Green Travel, which is associated with the project.)

The Crawl has been organized by Caputo Bake Shop and D'Amico Coffee. Questions can be emailed to tastesofbrooklyn@gmail.com.
