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.

We took Nice Guys Lower East Side tour. It packs a lot of great food into a nice walk with a little history lesson too! There were 7 stops each with a small bite to eat. We weren't sure if it would be enough to fill us up but we were stuffed! The walk is about a mile but its broken up with stops for different foods. There was a lot of diversity which was good as well as opportunities to buy some of the great foods on the tour. I loved that Dante gave a little of bit of information along the way about the historic area we walked through. Dante is a great tour guide, we had a big group of all ages and it was a big hit with everyone!

A great afternoon spent visiting unique, local food places of historical interest to the lower east side. Dante, our host and guide was GREAT ! His information and enthusiasm made it all the more worthwhile. The added touches of visiting the new food hall and public spaces was truly special.
