Chinatown

For foodies, Chinatown is nothing short of paradise. Here, you'll find: -Mei Lai Wa: A dim sum bakery that has been the go-to spot for baked buns since the late 1960s. -Supreme Restaurant: Known for its decadent soup dumplings. -Mott St Fish Market: An informal market offering a colorful array of fresh seafood, fruits, and vegetables. -Doyers St: Once infamous as "Murderer's Alley," now known for its murals and top-notch restaurants.

Little Italy

Little Italy is a food lover’s dream and a testament to the enduring legacy of Italian immigrants in NYC: -Di Paulo’s Fine Foods: A family-owned importer of fine Italian meats and cheeses since 1925. -Cafe Roma: An institution in Little Italy, serving the community since 1891. -Nolita Pizza: Swiftly captured the hearts (and stomachs) of locals and tourists alike with its Instagram-worthy pizzas. -Caffé Palermo: Home to the "Cannoli King" for over five decades, this café offers delicate pastries that are a must-try.

My family had an amazing time on the Chinatown and Little Italy Food Tour! The guide was super engaging and made sure the kids were involved and having fun. We started in Chinatown, where the kids loved watching the dumplings being made right in front of us and in also in little Italy the kids were thrilled with the fresh cannoli and gelato. We got to some of the interesting story about the history and culture of these area. It is totally worth it.

We had an amazing time on this food tour! There was plenty of food and it was really interesting to hear more about the history of the area. We started in Chinatown with some of the best dumplings I've ever had at a local dumpling house. Then we had Pizza and cannoli in Little Italy. Our guide was friendly and shared lots of interesting facts about the neighborhoods. Thank you Tours by Foot for having me a one of the best food tour.
