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.

Dante is a terrific guide as he introduced us to the lower East side and the delicious food to be found there. We learned a great deal about the neighborhood, the food establishments, and the food itself. Bring your appetite for this fabulous tour!

Dante was an excellent guide, very personal, very smooth filling in all the gaps in a conversation, and helping disparate groups of people feel like a single cohort. He dealt with each situation with grace and humor, even when tripping over a very sneaky piece of luggage, managing to save 3/4 of Vanessa's dumplings on a tray! (You will have to ask him about it). The places we visited were very charming, and the food was excellent! You come away very full, and a firm appreciation of the food variety available in NYC.
