It was a very, very rainy day, but Seth made the tour fun and tasty! And he was skilled at finding scaffolding where our group could shake off the water and enjoy the delicious tastes. It was a great way to learn about new neighborhoods I had not experienced before. Essex Market was a highlight. Would highly recommend!

This tour had so much food. It was really great trying food from a lot of places I'd heard about but never been to. The guide shared excelletn history and info and we covered three different neighborhoods. It was raining but didn't feel like the tour was any less fun.

I recently went on a food tour in my hometown, New York City, and it was like unlocking a whole new world of deliciousness. Even though I've tried tons of places as a content creator, this tour opened my eyes to flavors I didn't know existed. What made it awesome was the guide – super chill and knew their stuff. We hit up hidden spots with a mix of international and local eats, showing off the diverse food scene NYC has. What made it even better? Doing it with a friend. It's not just about the food; it's a cool experience you can enjoy together. Long story short, if you want to really get what NYC's food scene is all about, give this tour a shot. It's fun, tasty, and you'll leave with a whole new appreciation for the food this city has to offer.
