Join renowned Norman Weinstein on a guided tour of one of Brooklyn’s most fascinating ethnic enclaves – “Little Odessa” – where Russian is the language of the day. The shops display an incredible variety of sausages, cheeses, smoked fish, pickled vegetables, cured meats, delicious cakes, breads, and Eastern European preserves. You’ll also explore the famous boardwalk along the Atlantic Ocean and the area’s fascinating architecture.
Have a light breakfast at home, because at 12-noon you’ll have a substantial “sampler” lunch at one of the famous Russian restaurants. In the unlikely event that you are still hungry, you can sample the wares of the street food vendors along the tour path. Wear comfortable walking shoes. Make sure you carry a bag, because you’ll want to buy some food to bring back home.

About the Tour Guide:
Norman Weinstein is the founder of Norman Weinstein’s Brooklyn Cooking School. He has spent a quarter of a century spreading the gospel of great food. A former professional musician and voice teacher, Weinstein founded Norman Weinstein’s Hot Wok, the original incarnation of his cooking school, to teach New Yorkers about authentic Asian cuisine. He has written two books on the subject – Wok Dishes (Barron’s), nominated for an IACP Cookbook Award, and Chinese Cooking: The Classical Techniques Made Easy (Newsletter). He is a member of the faculty at LaGuardia Community College, a semi-annual guest instructor at the Cambridge School of Culinary Arts, and a longtime regular at The New School Culinary Arts Program, former Peter Kump’s New York Cooking School (The Culinary Institute) De Gustibus, and a host of other top cookery venues. When he’s not in the kitchen, Weinstein is busy teaching television audiences about his lifelong passion, leading walking tours of regional cuisine (especially his beloved Brooklyn, like Brighton Beach), and holding tasting dinners at the most intriguing Asian restaurants the city has to offer. And he is a knife skills teacher as well.
Located in the East Village, this cozy restaurant is owned and operated by native Italians from the Rimini region. This area has a distinct memorable cuisine. Check it out for yourself! Scroll down for a complete menu. All-you-can-eat buffet features a great selection of food (regular and vegetarian), as well as sodas, juices, fruits, and deserts. Also served throughout the entire evening will be a trademark aperitif — a delicious blend of white rum and various fruit juices. All of the above will cost only $40 per person IF PAID IN ADVANCE.
Other alcoholic beverages could be purchased at the bar: bottled beer $5, glass of wine $5, cocktails or mixed drinks $8, small carafe of wine (equals to 3-4 glasses) $12, large carafe of wine (equals to 6-8 glasses) $18. What a bargain! (All drink prices are deeply discounted and already include tax and tip.)

Our host Dr. Geoffrey Scott Carroll holds a Ph.D. in International Business Economics from the University of London, a MA in International Economics from The Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies and a BA in Economics and Business Administration from Wittenberg University. He has dual Scottish and American backgrounds and speaks four languages. He is the author of numerous articles and speeches on the IT services industry and his most recent effort is as one of the contributing authors of the recently released book Outsourcing in der Informations-Technologie, published by Campus Verlag in Frankfurt, Germany.
Some highlights of Dr. Carroll’s career:
He served as Chief Executive Officer of Origin B.V., the information technology (IT) services subsidiary of Philips N.V., Europe’s largest electronics manufacturer. Based in Brussels, Belgium, Carroll was responsible for the integration and merger of Philips Communications & Processing with BSO/Origin, creating one of the 10 largest IT services companies in the world, and one of the largest in Europe, with revenues in excess of $2 billion.
Prior to Origin, Carroll spent six years with Electronic Data Systems (EDS) holding the positions of Group Executive for Europe, Member of the EDS Europe Board of Directors and President of Northern Europe. While at EDS, Carroll was a member of a three person Executive Committee which was responsible for all of EDS’s business in Europe, including more than $2 billion in annual revenues and 18,000 people. Carroll was one of the pioneers of outsourcing in Europe and one of the primary architects of EDS’s explosive growth in Europe in the �90s. He was responsible for bringing in more than $4 billion in contract backlog and was the engineer behind a number of industry leading contracts within the European IT services field. The approximately $1.5 billion, 10 year agreement with the KF Group in Sweden was the largest IT services contract in the industry outside of the United States. Carroll was also the father of CoSourcingSM, one of the primary service pillars of EDS’s approach to today’s global marketplace.
Carroll has spent his entire career in the advanced technology fields. Prior to EDS he was Managing Director of the Worldwide Government and Public Sector business for Wang Laboratories where he built their largest vertical industry SBU. Before that, he was the Manager of Europe, Middle East and Africa operations for Honeywell High-Tech Trading. He started his career working for the European Economic Community as the economic and financial advisor to the EC Ambassador to the U.S. Government. In this role he was involved in many trade negotiations between the EC and the U.S. Government
Dr. Carroll is also a great athlete – a former professional tennis player – a man of many virtues!!
