What To Expect

Columbus Park

Columbus Park, formerly known as Mulberry Bend Park, Five Points Park and Paradise Park, is a public park in Chinatown, Manhattan, in New York City that was built in 1897. During the 19th century, this was the most dangerous ghetto area of immigrant New York, as portrayed in the book and film Gangs of New York.

Chinatown

Vibrant Chinatown is a densely populated neighborhood that draws foodies and tourists to its many Chinese and Southeast Asian restaurants for dumplings, pork buns and hand-pulled noodles. The busy sidewalks are packed with souvenir stores, bubble tea shops, and markets selling everything from fresh and dried fish to herbs and spices. Locals hang out in leafy Columbus Park for Tai Chi, chess and mahjong.

Canal Street

Canal Street is a Lower Manhattan thoroughfare where cultures collide. It's well-known for its bargain shopping scene. The street stretches from near the Hudson River to East Broadway and serves as the gateway to Chinatown, Little Italy, SoHo, and Tribeca.

Little Italy

Little Italy is a neighborhood in Lower Manhattan in New York City, known for its large Italian population. It is bounded on the west by Tribeca and Soho, on the south by Chinatown, on the east by the Bowery and Lower East Side, and on the north by Nolita.

Nolita

Picturesque Nolita is a charming, upscale area with a trendy vibe. It's known for its chic shopping scene, and has plenty of designer jewelry shops, unique clothing boutiques and home-design stores. Fashionably casual crowds stroll the neighborhood and fill the popular sidewalk cafes, chic bars and trendy restaurants. On weekends, street vendors selling hand-made jewelry and artwork line Prince Street.

Such a wonderful way to get a little taste of China Town and Little Italy as well as some history. Wil was a great tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about the two towns, their food and history. The food portions were just perfect and we loved them all!

My friend and I did the 4:00 tour on 5/12. Our guide was Renée. We found out at the end that it was her very first tour, but we would never have known. She did a terrific job and was very knowledgeable. She was very upbeat and energetic, and had a great sense of humor. Restaurants that were selected as part of the tour were wonderful. We enjoyed the food very much, especially the pineapple pork bun, Barata pizza and the cheesecake. We had plenty to eat! Renée told great stories and shared interesting facts about the area. Justin came along as well, which we found out at the end was sort to bet her “superviser” for her first time. Justin as a great addition to the group and also contributed to our enjoyment of the tour. I would highly recommend Secret Food Tours in general, and specifically the Chinatown and Little Italy tour. And you would be lucky to have either Renee or Justin as your guide! Now that I’ve had such a great introduction to Chinatown, Little Italy and Nolita, I would feel comfortable doing more exploring of those areas on my own on my next trip to NYC, possibly revisiting some of the restaurants we sampled on the tour, or trying some of the hundreds of others in those neighborhoods!
