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.

Went on tour with my wife and 2, 20’s children. Like his company name says, Dante (spell-check changed it to Santa, which is apropos :-), is a nice, funny knowledgeable guy who cares about and fully enjoys his job. His accent quickly gives him away as a native New Yorker, so his authenticity bursts through. We’re from Jersey, but knew not so much about the history of the lower east side. What a way to learn while tasting the best pastrami, bagels, pickles, dumplings and donuts anywhere. 3 hours is just right as there is not always a place to sit if the restaurant is crowded, but the bottle of water he supplies and several available times to use the restrooms, along with Dante’s sunny disposition, keeps everyone happy. No matter where you are from, you will enjoy this tour.

Dante gave us a great tour. The food we sampled was delicious and there was hardly any wait at all. He was very knowledgeable about the city, the history of the restaurants, and food in NYC. His conversation was engaging and we had an amazing time on the tour.
