We live right over the river in NJ, and this allowed us to explore some sections of the city that we hadn’t before. We loved the historical tidbits as much as the wide selection of foods we sampled. Our guide Seth was enthusiastic and knowledgeable, and was happy to answer questions. Highly recommend!

Soooo many wonderful aspects! First, walking the neighborhoods with a local, getting such great history of wonderful buildings and businesses. Then, the food! So much, so good, with such entree into those immigrant cultures through the most basic of elements--their food. Our tour guide, Seth, could not have been more accommodating, warm or instructive.
