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.

Just has a great private tour with Nice Guys Tours for our Dad's 80th birthday. All enjoyed the leisurely pace and awesome food stops along the way. Even got them to stop by Dad's old apartment building where he grew up! All in all a great time and thank you for making it a great part of our Dad's birthday celebration!

Highly recommend this tour. I've done food tours all over the world and this one is up there with the best of them! Dante is friendly & funny with lots of interesting insights into the city. The whole thing was a great experience we couldn't have had on our own (skipping the hour long line at famous Katz's deli for example). We rolled home happy at the end!!

Danté took 11 of us from London, South Dakota and Cincinnati on a 3 hour food tour of the lower east side of NYC. We ate knisches and dumplings, pastrami and rugelach, pickles and bagels and much more besides. Danté was full of fun historical facts about the families and businesses at the heart of the lower east side. Well worth the fee. Would do another tour with Nice Guy.
