Lots of great food and cool history. Stopped at many more places than I'd expected and they were all worthwhile. Shayna was very personable and knowledgeable.

Excellent food tour. Jack did a super job mixing history and food knowledge. Perfect amount of walking. He was excellent at communicating before and during.

Friendly and knowledgable guide, and a really nice group of people. The Pastrami at Katz was by far the nicest food item.
