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 my second tour with Dante --- so that says a lot! In our group we had ages 12 to 82. Dante learned everyone's names, kept a great pace, built rapport with the group, and made the tour so much fun! The pastrami at Katz's deli was sublime. We all had our favorite stop, but each of us enjoyed the trip completely! Dante is the Nice Guy! Everywhere we went, people in the shops greeted Dante like he was their old friend. By a few minutes into your tour, you will feel like you are old friends, too.

Our tour of the lower east side with Dante was amazing. He was very knowledgeable about the area and made the information fun and accessible to the group. We had great food from multiple places. The pastrami at Katz's Deli was amazing, the dumplings at Vanessa's were perfect, the bagels at Kossar's were quintessential NY. I highly recommend this tour and in particular, this tour company.

Dante was an awesome tour guide! He was informative, friendly, efficient, and hilarious! He was one of those guys that, after you meet him, you feel as if you've known him all your life. He told us so many intriguing tidbits about various buildings and we learned a ton about the history of the Lower East Side of NYC. He recommended other places to check out and always made sure he had time for questions. And, of course, the food was yummy!
