First let me say that we have done tours like this in the past with another business in NYC. But Greg made this tour "special". What a super fun personality....funny ... knowledgeable...he made the trip a real treat. We also had the privilege of being on the same tour with the FFOGs (family and friends of Greg!) What a group of wonderful, engaging people. We toured a beautiful historic section of NYC known as Little Poland. What great stories about the local people and area. The food was... well.... amazing! Finishing up in an eatery that Greg called "like going to your grandma's basement" was a perfect end to a really fun day. For our family, life is highlighted with great experiences that create wonderful memories. This one goes in that file:) We will be back to see Greg again....the Meatball tour is next. OMG!

Hello Larry, It was great having you and your family on my impromptu FFOG tour. I've chosen the "grandma's basement kitchen" feeling because of the wonderful food these venues offer. Being part Polish American Jersey boy, I'm a sucker for the tour's pierogi since they're made fresh daily. I am most grateful for creating a wonderful NYC memory for you and your family and look forward to seeing you on a Meatball Crawl! Thanks for the great review and the tip. Bardzo Dziekuje .

Greg's NYC Pierogi Walk was such a great way to really get to know this part of the city! From Greg's in depth knowledge of the architecture and history of the area, to the delicious food samplings, I haven't enjoyed a day in NYC this much in a long time. All of the food was great, but the polish sausage, the pierogi, and donuts were devine! Greg is warm and funny, and the personal touch he provides as a tour guide cannot be beat! Thanks Greg, and I wont hesitate to recommend you to my friends and family.

Hello Karen B, I was very happy to see you on the pierogi tour! It's always a thrill when I get to share NYC's gems with my local tourists like you. NYC's East Village is a gem, especially for Eastern European cuisine. I also am a fan of the fresh made Polish donuts, yum! I love weaving the cuisine/food with the local history to bring the city's history alive. Thanks for such a lovely review and am grateful your will refer me to your family and friends. Thanks! Grezesiu . Greg

Greg took us on a lovely walk around the East village and we ate some delicious and pierogis! My Sister in Law found this tour and I'm so glad she did! We had a small family tour, got to eat lots of great polish food. Our favorite was the blueberry pierogis! HIGHLY recommended to anyone who loves to eat and enjoys a lovely walk with lots a kind, knowledgeable guide!

Hi Kelley, Thanks for the great review and recommendation. One of the advantages of taking the tour in the summer are sampling fresh blueberry pierogis. They're a summer specialty and don't last long. I'm equally as glad your sister-in-law found the tour. Happy Summer. Greg
