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 highly recommend this tour. We did this on our first day in NYC and it was a great way to get into the heart of the city, through food and Dantes knowledge of where it comes from and why we should care! We left feeling full and like we got a real glimpse into what NYC has to offer as far as cool eats and rich history, no matter what your pallet. I went back the following day to get some more of those lovely Knishes!!

Had an amazing time on the tour with Dante. He is extremely knowledgeable, accommodating and all-round great fun. Wonderful to hear about the history of family joints which turned into neighborhood institutions. We had a small group and really got to know everyone. There is a great range of different food stops, some sweet, some savory, all tasted fantastic! You will be stuffed by the end! Not to be missed
