My family had a wonderful time on this tour! Greg is very knowledgeable about the Eastern European immigrant history of the East Village and gave us loads of fascinating information coupled with delicious food and great conversation. We are native New Yorkers, but every stop on Greg’s tour was a hidden gem we would never have known about otherwise! On top of all of that, Greg himself is a joy to talk to and clearly has a deep love of history, food, culture, and New York.

Hi Rebecca I was really thrilled to walk with you and your family and share our collective food and family heritage stories. And, I was Beyond impressed that you acted in a show totally in Yiddish at age 13. Meeting families like yours and sharing food, “breaking bread” Make me so grateful that I do what I love and love what I do! Happy 2025 to all of you, GREG

This East Village Polish Food Tour was a lot of fun and more than what its name describes. Of course, we sampled some great Polish foods from authentic little ethnic restaurants and shops we might otherwise not have noticed. But Greg also showed us and explained some East Village history, including the sites of old theaters and historic churches. He is knowledgeable, enthusiastic and gregarious, eager to answer questions and to share all sorts of esoteric knowledge. We're long-time New Yorkers and we had a great time learning more about our city than we already knew, and I'm sure visitors to the city would also find this tour informative, worthwhile and a fun and unique way to spend an afternoon.

We loved exploring a new part of NYC and learning more about our culture and visiting the loveliest shops and eating the homemade, traditional foods with Greg. Greg instantly became part of our family and makes everyone feel comfortable and cared for. He loves what he does and I feel like he should be joining us at Christmas haha. Thank you!
