This tour left me well-fed and much more well-informed about Mulberry Street and the surrounding areas. Liz and Alana are both excellent guides: knowledgeable, personable, and kept us all happy throughout our 3 hours. They were conscientious and well prepared to address food requirements some of the guests had without any fuss.
The food was diverse culturally - Spanish, French, Italian, Chinese, and Vietnamese were all represented and all were quality choices. We learned a lot about the foods and the cultures' contributions to Mulberry St. I wasn't expecting much food - just tastings here and there but I was pretty much set for the rest of the day afterwards!
Highlights were some choice Spanish churros, French cheeses, a sizable pasta dish, and egg waffle ice cream.
Along the way we learned about some fairly action-packed events on the street - all were new to me despite living here for the last 20 years. Very entertaining stuff centering around crime, law, mafia history, and more over the course of NYC's history without being over-the-top or corny.
I left satisfied and smarter! Highly recommended for locals and tourists alike.
