Nighttime draws hip, young crowds to the area's trendy bars, music venues and restaurants. The neighborhood's Jewish heritage lives on through Orchard Street's Lower East Side Tenement Museum and old-world fabric stores, as well as traditional delis such as Katz's and Russ & Daughters.

Essex Street Market

Indoor market with rows of vendors specializing in meat, fish, cheese, produce & specialty foods.

Orchard Street

Orchard Street is a street in Manhattan which covers the eight city blocks between Division Street in Chinatown and East Houston Street on the Lower East Side. Vehicular traffic runs north on this one-way street.

Andrea was super informative and we had a small group which was awesome! Loved all of the stops but Katz's Deli was a fav! The pastrami is delicious. Highly recommend. This was a highlight on our trip for sure!

We're thrilled to read you enjoyed our Lower East Side food tour with Andrea and that she was "super informative." Come eat with us on our West Village food tour the next time you're in NYC.

Lydia was a wonderful food tour guide! We learned so much interesting information about the area and the food vendors. We sampled amazing food from the lower east side and left with good memories and happy tummies.
