As a person, who enjoys a good meal, the name of this tour grabbed me in an instant. It was worth it, I’m pleasantly surprised. The three hours went away like they were three minutes. The guide was great, very well informed of both the food places and the historical sights that we’ve visited.
We’ve visited Yonah Schimmel Knish, Russ and Daughters, Economy Candy, Pickle Guys, Kossar's Bialys, Doughnut Plant, Katz's Deli – all of them well renown places.
Our first stop was the Knishery and where we’ve tasted some amazing, freshly-backed knishes. I fell in love with the cherry – cheese one. And then we went through all of the mentioned above, and all of them had something to share – Russ’ fish, the Peach gummy rings at Economy Candy, the sour pickle at the Guys’, the Sun dried tomato and pesto bialys, the blueberry crumble…all of them were and are amazing!
The tour isn’t only food. I’ve learned a lot about the pushcart culture (I never even thought that this is even a thing). I’m highly impressed by the Tenement museum and its very rich history
All in all – I recommend the tour to everyone who loves good food and history.
