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.

Our family had the best time on this tour! Dante was friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. The food was amazing, and we learned so much about the history of the Lower East Side. We will definitely be trying his other tours!

Thank you so much for going on a tour with Nice Guys Tours. I always means so much when people take the time to write what their experience was! I hope to see you back next time you're in New York City!

Enjoyable food tour with a variety of stops that captured both historic and new additions to the neighborhood. You can tell that Dante spent time developing relationships with local purveyors (went right to a table while hordes of people waited outside at one famous stop). We were a chatty group, so probably kept Dante from sharing his knowledge of the history of the area, which I would have like to hear a little more about. Otherwise, would have rated it a five.

Fantastic tour and this was evident that one person in our tour group had done 3 previously. It wasn’t just the food that was good ( and it was great ) it was Dante’s personality, passion and knowledge that made this tour five star. We learnt so much about the history and the area and got to stuff our faces on top of it. What’s not to love? Dante remembers everyone’s name and was the best. Thanks from all 9 of us from Australia that joined you for a true “New York” experience!
