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.

I booked a private tour of the Lower East Side with Dante for our family age 8 to senior adult. Every single person in our group absolutely loved the tour and especially Dante. Everything went perfectly as planned. His attention to detail is outstanding and he has a wonderful personality. The food was delicious - everyone in our group had a different favorite! We highly recommend this tour.

My friends and I booked a private tour of the Lower East Side with Dante. It was a great introduction to the area which still has so many mom and pop stores. Dante is full of facts about the area and shared a little bit of history at every stop. The pastrami at Katz Deli is mouth watering. I’ll never eat pastrami cold cuts again!! The dumplings, pickles, donuts and everything else was also amazing. We received a warm greeting by the shop owners at every stop because they’re Dante fans too! Dante has a great sense of humor and is truly a Nice Guy! Can’t wait to book another tour!

Dante is filled with personality. We stopped at 8 different stops and had delicious food. We were stuffed when the tour was done. Highly recommend for a fun, yummy, and pleasant time.
