Walk East Village and Little Italy with an active or retired NYPD detective, hearing mob stories while eating spaghetti, eggplant, and cannoli.
“This tour was informative, however NOT worth the cost. We thought we were going to taste different foods from different restaurants. However, we received an email the day of, that we were going to have one meal at the location we start the tour and a caolnolie at the last location. So, basically, you walk the tour area, get i formation, a plate of spaghetti and a canolie. We were a little disappointed that we paid for what we paid...for a walking guided tour, a plate of spaghetti (minimal sauce but excellent meatball) and a canolie. Nothing against the tour guide as she was very friendly, I just do not…”

“Our tour was great, mostly because of our guide, Sergio. While we couldn’t go on the high line because of freezing weather & high winds, Sergio made sure we didn’t miss anything, even at street level. The food was delicious and we learned so much! I can’t wait to go back to Chelsea Market!”

“Jared was an incredible tour guide and shared a lot of history with us during our tour. Every food spot we went to was fantastic. My family and I really enjoyed everything! Parking a large SUV in this area was the only hiccup we encountered but fortunately we were able to find an outdoor lot in the area that could accommodate us.”
Taste pastrami, dumplings, pickles, bagels, and more while exploring Lower East Side food and immigrant stories in a small group.
“Whole lotta carbs on this food tour. I loved Katz’s, the dumpling’s, and the bagel shop, but would loved to have had some kind of sampling at the market. I’d also love another stop with proteins rather than the donuts (the rugelach was a better sweet. I’d replace pickles and donuts. David was very friendly and knowledgeable. Had a good time but was not high on my list of best food tours.”
Taste seven local Brooklyn specialties while walking Smith Street, Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, and Atlantic Avenue with a small group.
“Alex was a lovely tour guide and very informative. My store comes from previous reviews we've been on, we found this one inferior to others. It has nothing to do with the guide but instead the choices of eateries, this is due to both the food options but also the venues of said eateries. It feels like its a bit disjointed. Started the tour with half a crossaint isnt the best, its not exactly something that makes alot of sense, especially as its just given to you at an unrelated venue. I also feel there should be beverages included. Overall its just OK, I personally wouldn't reccomend this particular tour.”
Taste six NYC foods while exploring Greenwich Village landmarks, from Washington Square Park to TV homes, with a local guide.
“Alex was a really good guide and if you want the classic New York foods, this tour is for you! I have been to nyc many times but the pizza was the best ny slice I have ever gotten and the bagel is also pretty solid.”
