Overview

4 ICONIC FOODS. 4 LEGENDARY LOCAL SPOTS. 4 HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOODS.

Gorge on a visual and literal feast as we explore hidden corners of the city that most visitors miss.

WHY THIS TOUR?
• THE FOOD: We’ll eat bagels, dumplings, pizza, and tacos - four pillars of New York’s edible soul.

• THE STORY: Learn about the immigrants who brought these foods to New York and how each grew beyond its cultural cradle to become a global culinary superstar.

• EXTREME PERSONALIZATION: We are independent, professional guides, not a big corporation constantly hiring new guides. We’re locals who continue to explore. We aren’t stuck to a fixed route and we love making the occasional fun detour to fulfill a guest's wish.

• SIDEWALK ALCHEMY: We believe in the power of the city to expand minds.

Note: Our route varies slightly based on guest input and the pulse of the neighborhood. This tour walks a little further and dives a little deeper than the average trek—come hungry and wear comfortable shoes!

What's Included

  • - Smaller group size so we can go deeper into the neighborhoods.
  • - Healthy portions of bagels, dumplings, pizza and tacos. You will be full!
  • - Licensed, professional NYC Guide.
  • - A variety of drinks are available throughout the tour, but are not included.
