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 great tour with a nice variety of eats. We've done quite a few walking food tours in NYC and this was one of the best, for sure. Dante is truly a "nice giy" who makes you feel comfortable, informed and STUFFED! When we had leftover samples he gave them to passersby, often homeless which I think was a really nice touch. Everyone we came in contact with seemed to know and like Dante which also speaks highly of his tours. Hope to do another one with him next time we come to NYC.

We really enjoyed this tour with Dante, he is a great host. However the meeting place was not what we were expecting as it was not inviting, so don't be put off by the exterior or location of the building.

This tour absolutely checked off all our boxes! An easy 5-Star and we’re still talking about it. Dante is friendly and personable (he learned all our names!) as he shares the history of buildings, businesses & local families. Good stuff and your eyes don’t glaze over from “too much information”. The food stops each had a “story”, opening your eyes to small gems that you’d normally walk on by. The variety of tastings made it fun and there was more food than expected. Fresh, flavorful and diverse. Our group of 12 (maximum number) from around the world were all “foodie friends” at the end of the tour. THANK YOU, Dante (Nice Guy Tours), for sharing your world! We’ll be back to join you on another one of your tours!
