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 food tour was everything we hoped for and more. Dante was fun, informative and a wonderful host. The food was delicious and interesting and he has a way of bringing the group together so you feel like you are all friends by the end of the tour. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is interested and would do another tour with Dante any time I was in NYC!

My wife heard about this tour online. She specifically heard to ask for Dante. Little did we know, this was Dante's personal food tour. We have done a couple food tours in Greenwich. This one was the absolute best. Dante was extremely personable and down right fun. Nine stops! Are you kidding me? They were all awesome and we were totally stuffed. The group was great but Dante made it super fun. We loved that he was from Yonkers and knowledgeable about the Lower East Side. If we return with friends, we will have to introduce them to Dante and his amazing food tour! Thanks Dante! You rock!

Without question, Dante is the most passionate and gracious tour guide I have met throughout my travels. He has taken the time to learn and share the history of each restaurant and food tasting. From the origins of the knish, the complex preparation of pastrami, the meaning of rugelach, and the pickling durations (3 days, 3 weeks, 3 months), we learned many things about the neighborhoods we traveled and the foods we ate. I highly recommend this food tour.
