🚊 Subway Ride to Dyker Heights

We’ll head to Dyker Heights together by subway, so have your MetroCard or credit card ready for tap-and-go access.

✨ Experience the Magic

Get ready to be wowed by the most stunningly decorated homes in Dyker Heights!
We’ll stroll through the neighborhood, capture Instagram-worthy moments, and soak up the glow that makes Brooklyn feel straight out of a Christmas movie. 🎄 I can’t wait!!!

🇮🇹 Italian Treats Along the Way

We’ll stop for fresh cannoli and Sicilian cassate at a local pastry shop, and pop into a nearby Italian market full of imported goodies – heaven for Italian expats (like me!) and dessert lovers alike. 😍.

🍕 Optional Pizza Dinner

Wrap up the night with authentic Neapolitan pizza at Sottocasa Boerum Hill (298 Atlantic Ave).
Okay, I might be biased (my husband Luca is one of the owners 😄), but with 4.5 stars and 1K+ Google reviews, it’s officially pizza lovers-approved!

🎟️ The Event is FREE! Sign up HERE

You’ll only cover your own purchases (Italian treats or dinner).
Don’t forget your MetroCard or credit card for the subway ride to and from Dyker Heights.
