What To Expect

Lower East Side

Stroll. Learn. Nosh. Now you can explore an up-and-coming hip neighborhood that's rich in history and stacked with infamously famous eats. The Doughnut Plant Russ & Daughters

Essex Street Market

Stop and shop (if you wish) at Essex Street market but before you do we visit my friend Saad who gives us a tasting of Balsamic Vinegar and Olive Oils at his Essex Olive & Spice shop.

The Pickle Guys

The Pickle Guys pickles almost everything. We try three of their top sellers. They’re sweet. They’re sour. They’re awesome.

Economy Candy

Economy Candy has been around since 1937, dishing out chocolates, nuts, gummies and the candy so many generations have grown up on.

This food tour was absolutely amazing. For one, the places we visited were fantastic and the food is to die for and the wait at each place is kept at a minimum. But most of all the tour guide Dante is a class act and one of the most charismatic, interesting, and knowledgeable tour guides I’ve ever met. I would give this a 6/5 if I could because of him.

We’ve taken food tours around the US and a couple of places overseas and Nice Guys Tours has the best food! Who would think that anyone would be impressed with pastrami, a bagel and cream cheese, or a chocolate doughnut? But the quality of these unique places makes you realize what a difference hand crafting their products makes. For those of you who’ve never had a knish, Yonah Schimmel knishes is your place. We’ve had lots of rugelach, but the rugelach at Russ & Daughters beats them all. The pastrami at Katz’s Deli is prepared for almost a month before it hits your plate. It goes on from there: halavah, Vanessa’s Chinese dumplings, hand cured pickles, Kossars bagels with unique homemade cream cheese, and the chocolatiest doughnut you’ve ever had at Doughnut Planet. Come hungry, leave full and happy, and see a lot of New York.

The tour was fantastic, we both thoroughly enjoyed it. Dante was a great a great host and really enjoys his job. Dante was very informative and the tour was good fun. We ate lots, so ensure you arrive very hungry!
