A very good tour led by the amenable and knowledgeable Seth. We visited eight different take-out establishments sampling mainly Italian and Jewish food. We were all stuffed by the end!

This tour was a great way to see more of the area and learn some history. Each stop was well considered for great food and an interesting story. Highlights were the Italian gnocchi in Essex market and dumplings. It would have been nice to have the tour coordinated so the food was ready for us when we arrived at each stop, we ended up waiting for a while to really get started. But overall, we had a great time and tried some new spots (and we're locals!)
