What To Expect
Your day begins when you meet your guide at an easy-to-find spot on 5th Avenue. Beginning with Eataly, you’ll have a chance to sample delicious artisanal Italian food—such as Roman-style pizza, with all tastings included to save you the hassle and expense of paying at each stop.
Next up, it’s time for a modern twist on a New York classic—a Reuben bagel at a favorite local haunt, Zucker’s Bagels & Smoked Fish.
After walking off your delicious bagel, the tour proceeds to the Flatiron Building. Here, you can take photos of the exterior, before continuing the walk through Madison Square Park and onwards to Union Square, where it’s time to try some more tasty bites—including a menu designed with neuroscience in mind at Honeybrains, as well as coffee.
After sweet and savory bites, the tour finishes outside on E 16th Street, where you’re free to continue your city exploration.

Great tour!
Justin was on time, at the stated place and easy to spot.
On a cold, slightly rainy day, it was a good mix of inside/outside, walking to be warm and stopping to hear the stories. Historical photos on his tablet worked well to show what the areas looked like before. Justin clearly enjoys history.
The stops were a good mix of traditional NYC food and new items on the food scene. We had a few chances to sit down, and every stop had a clean restroom.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Your wonderful review has brightened our day! Justin will be ecstatic to learn about your kind words, and we're grateful for your appreciation of the tour.
Gillian_A, Mar 2024
The tour was great fun. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and keen to share his local insights on the history of the area and the best places to eat. The tour was a nice balance of walking and eating, which was particularly welcome given the less than clement weather. I got try delicious food from places I wouldn’t have found on my own as well as visiting the place Barbie was invented and where Buddy the Elf ate discarded gum - a perfect trip!

Tour guide was very knowledgeable. The food stops were delicious! If you’re worried about the walking, then this tour is perfect because the walking is minimal.
Response from Host, Jan 2024
Thank you for the fantastic review! We're thrilled that you not only enjoyed the delicious food but also had a great time with your guide.
Barbara_K, Oct 2023
If you are looking for a "foodies" tour, this is not it. The food was fair at best. I have had a better pastrami sandwich in my hometown than where I went, same with the pizza.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and did a great job and offered a lot of information. If you are looking for a historic tour of the flatiron district, then I would recommend this tour.
Response from Host, Nov 2023
Thank you for providing this thoughtful feedback. We're sorry to hear some of the food stops did not live up to your expectations, but are glad you had a nice experience overall with our expert guide!
Youngjae_P, Jul 2023
Our tour guide, Justin, did an excellent job in taking us through the Flatiron District with a great balance between fun facts and history. The food was not an afterthought either as we got to get the best choices of local classics and relatively newer stars.
Response from Host, Jul 2023

It turned out that we were the only ones to sign up for our tour, so Justin was our personal tour guide for a few hours! It was a great balance of history and food and spots supporting the current community. Justin had a ton of knowledge and was a great guide!
