As a person, who enjoys a good meal, the name of this tour grabbed me in an instant. It was worth it, Iām pleasantly surprised. The three hours went away like they were three minutes. The guide was great, very well informed of both the food places and the historical sights that weāve visited.
Weāve visited Yonah Schimmel Knish, Russ and Daughters, Economy Candy, Pickle Guys, Kossar's Bialys, Doughnut Plant, Katz's Deli ā all of them well renown places.
Our first stop was the Knishery and where weāve tasted some amazing, freshly-backed knishes. I fell in love with the cherry ā cheese one. And then we went through all of the mentioned above, and all of them had something to share ā Russā fish, the Peach gummy rings at Economy Candy, the sour pickle at the Guysā, the Sun dried tomato and pesto bialys, the blueberry crumbleā¦all of them were and are amazing!
The tour isnāt only food. Iāve learned a lot about the pushcart culture (I never even thought that this is even a thing). Iām highly impressed by the Tenement museum and its very rich history
All in all ā I recommend the tour to everyone who loves good food and history.
