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 was the highlight of my New York trip with my 8 year old son. Adam, our guide, went out of his way to make it a memorable experience, including a picture of my 8 year old with Al the Pickle Guy. He could not have been more knowledgeable and welcoming. The food was delicious and three hours walking outside in February went by in a blink. My son already wants to do another tour with this company the next time we come back!

An Amazing story of how they saved these tenements & their apartments & did the research to tell many families’ stories in their apartments. Educators were excellent.
