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.

Nice amount of time to learn some of the basic history of the Lower East Side and experience some of the older and newer foods to come out of the area.

A brilliant tour with Emmeline. She had so much knowledge and answered all our questions. All of the places we visited were both interesting and delicious. Tour is very reasonably priced for all the food and facts you get :)

My teenage son said this tour was worth the price just to avoid the queues at Katz Deli! This was one of the best things we have done in New York. The tour visits all the famous food spots we’ve heard about and they didn’t disappoint. Our guide Ian was wonderful - great company, full of knowledge and a natural people wrangler. Our teens loved this tour as much as we did.
