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 had the best time with Dante. He is very knowledgeable and was extremely friendly and approachable for asking questions. A great variety of food and interesting spots along the route. Dante really went out of his way to make sure that this would be one of our highlights visiting N.Y. Carol H.

Ironically Dante the tour guide really IS a nice guy! I’d taken his Greenwich Village tour awhile back, so I thought I’d try this tour as well. We couldn’t have asked for more perfect weather on this day which was the icing on the Lower East Side food tour cake! With a minimum of 7 stops on the tour, Dante gave a bit of history of each stop in addition to history on the neighborhood itself. We never felt rushed and were given the opportunity to purchase something if we wanted. I was born and raised in New York and didn’t know any of the rich history that Dante shared. And the food! Oh the food. Knishes, bagels, bialys, pastrami from the famous Katz’s deli (I WILL have what she’s having!), dumplings, rugelach, etc...Essex Market and more. This is a not to be missed food tour whether you’re local or not. There’s a reason why Nice Guy Tours is rated #1! Go! You won’t be disappointed!

Dante the guide was awesome. A small group of no more than 12, -- as he magically takes us on a gourmet taste sensation around the less busy area of New York, -- tasting Barbara Streisand's most favourite food, to where Sally Met Harry, and had "I want what she is having" -- a most enjoyable 3 hours, which went very quickly, and not too strenuous on the feet. Thoroughly recommend Nice Guy Food Tour. I was pleased that it had taken me to a part of New York I would not have visited otherwise.
