What To Expect

Eataly

Enjoy delicious Roman style pizza at epic artisanal Italian food emporium, Eataly. Then follow your tour guide to learn about the secrets of the building and experience a guided tour of Italy. Please note: on Sunday's we get the breakfast focaccia at Eataly because we go to Obica Mozzarella Bar for pizza instead of Beecher's (they are closed on Sundays now).

Flatiron Building

Learn about the building's unique architecture. Be sure to have the tour guide take your photo in front of it! We do not tour the inside of the building.

Madison Square Park

Did you know that in 1876, the Statue of Liberty’s right arm and torch was put on display here for 6 years in an effort to raise funding to complete the statue’s construction? This park has played a pivotal role in much of NYC's history!

Union Square

Your tour guide will explain the historical significance of this important park. You will also get to experience the popular Greenmarket (except Thursdays & Sundays), street vendors, protestors, break dancers, Krishna followers chanting and city dwellers enjoying lunch or a stroll through the park. Union Square is certainly a microcosm of NYC.

I have taken a bunch of food tours in Manhattan and this tour might be my favorite. Justin was an outstanding guide. He was very knowledgeable about the area, history, architecture, food, and the restaurants we visited. A fantastic all around tour.

This was one of my favorite food tours I’ve taken! Justin was a phenomenal tour guide and I really learned a lot about the City that I didn’t previously know. All of the food along the way was delicious and the coffee was amazing! Highly recommend whether you’re a local or visiting!
