Private East Village Food Tour

Overview

You decide which food you want, then pay what you wish for the guide. This is the best deal in NYC

With an ethnically diverse community, one can find virtually every type of cuisine here. On our tour we will savor a delicious array of cuisines and flavors including: Greek-American Split pea Soup with fried croutons, delicious classic tasting NYC pizza, authentic Dolmas (Grape Leaves) Ukrainian varenyky (vegetable filled cabbage rolls) and perogis, delicious egg cream drinks, up to 8 different flavors of Korean Dumplings, and Italian pastries such as cannoli and sfogliatelle. Don’t worry – we’ll walk off the calories as we explore the history and culture of the East Village, from the Dutch colony of the 1600s, to the 1800s when the neighborhood was known as Kleindeutschland, (Little Germany). We'll also see famous locales from the counter-culture scene of the 1950s and ‘60s to the punk rock explosion of the 1970s and 1980s.

If a guest purchases 1 of every item, they will spend $11.

Derrick was a real star and gave us a very entertaining tour of this area of NY and its flavours. What I enjoyed the most as a solo traveller, was the interaction with other travellers. The food tasted is a representation of how multicultural NY is, however as a well seasoned traveller who lives in a big city, there were not many surprises. The other thing I will say, I did at a short notice and encouraged by someone else, and whilst there’s no fault with the tour or Derrick, only having 48h in NY I would have preferred to use my time in more touristic spots. So I would only recommend if you have plenty of time to explore the less touristic parts of this city.

Despite the chilly weather, our tour ended up being a "private walking tour" with Jon and it was absolutely delightful! His knowledge of the city was impressive, and they made sure we stayed warm and comfortable. Because it was our family only, we had all of the attention and shuffled through the cold streets a little faster than we would have with a large group. A truly unique and memorable experience!
