Our guide, Bruce, was one of the most informative guides we have ever had. He was not only extremely knowledgeable about the history of the entire Lower East Side, he also added a lot of humor to his stories. Although I have been to NYC many times, I have never spent any time in this area and I learned a lot from Bruce. I have been on many food walking tours and usually you get a small tasting at each food stop. However, this tour actually gave us full size portions and I couldn't even finish all of the food. We had pork dumplings, Sicilian pepperoni pizza, knishes, pickles and empanadas and they were all delicious. You can tell that Bruce is very passionate about this area of the city which made our tour so great!
