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 a wonderful--and delicious--way to spend a few hours in NYC! Dante, our guide, is a native who really knows the Lower East Side, both the cuisine and the history. So, the tour is informative, fun, and filling. We visited 7 spots, pre-arranged by Dante, and sampled knishes, pastrami, bagels, etc. Some of the places are iconic New York spots, like Katz. Others were new to us, but all were delicious and fun. Our guide shared the history of the foods, and his easy-going manner had everyone on the tour (capped at 12 people) chatting and visiting as we walked and ate. I am looking forward to trying his other tour next time I visit NYC!

We choose to do this tour with Dante, based on a recommendation from Amy Hannon of EunaMae’s on IG. So glad we followed her advice! Dante was awesome! Funny, knowledge about the food and the area and just a….”nice guy.” We would love to do another tour with his company someday!

We had a great time doing the tour with Dante! He is knowledgeable and we tried lots of yum foods! Special mention goes to the pastrami and the gf donut! I did lots of research before selecting Dante to do our tour with and it totally was a winner! Don’t hesitate - book!
