The food was great and the information as we walked was excellent! I really enjoyed the variety and effort to find shade and air conditioning as often as possible.

We loved this tour! We were so lucky to have Adam as our guide! He was energetic, fun to listen to and full of knowledge. We loved the small little deli’s, pizza and Thai places with wonderful samples at each stop. The finale of the trip ended at Molly’s cupcakes! Adam also took us through some of the smaller streets in the village. He described architecture, history of some of the buildings, and examples of people who lived in that area at one time. This is the perfect tour to get a sampling of all of New York’s finest delicacies! Again, we highly recommend Adam as a guide. His endless knowledge and energy made this tour even more enjoyable!

From start to finish, this food tour was delightful! Adam was a fantastic tour guide, and he provided us with super interesting information with his special New York flair! Every bite we took was fresh and delicious, and it was plentiful! Bleecker Street Pizza was the best we’d ever had, and the arancini at Faicco’s was my personal fave. We were stuffed by the end! So much fun…I highly recommend this tour!!
