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.

I would definitely take another tour with Dante! He was very personable and knowledgeable of the area. All the food stops were incredible! Would definitely do this again or try another experience produced by Nice Guy Tours. You will be left full and satisfied!!!

What a great time! We love taking walking food tours to get a mix of local history and local culture (as expressed through food) when we travel. This was one of the best we've done. Dante (the owner) does a great job to guide you through the LES while taking you to EIGHT different restaurants to taste their signature dishes. These are not small samples but a small meal at each place - you will be full!! Meanwhile, Dante is engaging, fun and interesting as he gives the history of some well known (Katz, Russ & Daughters) and some less known (Vanessa Dumplings, Kossar's Bagels, The Pickle Guys) locations. For us, each stop was among the best food of that type that we've ever had. Most highly recommended. Fun for a family with teenagers. Come hungry!

Dante really is a nice guy. Plus, knowledgeable and lots of fun. From the melt-in-your-mouth pastrami at Katz’s to delicious halvah, we ate a pretty amazing variety of foods and learned a lot along the way.
