Enjoyed the leisurely walk thru the neighborhoods and learning the history of the area and its various ethnic groups. Tom was very engaging and informative. Best part was the 4 food stops at local "hidden" establishments, each serving an excellent quintessential selection.

The food was amazing and Ryan gave some interesting information that I didn't know before. Even though it was a little cold, the tour and food itself were enjoyable enough to push past the cold.

Great evening of history and delicious food
Lindsey_S, Mar 2024
We had a great time on this tour! Rose was an excellent guide - she incorporated the history of the neighborhoods in with our stops. She was very knowledgeable! Everything went smoothly with the timing flow of the restaurants, and the food choices were all delicious - first stop was sponge bread with thai tea, second stop was 4 delicious dumplings, third was a huge slice of pizza with a drink and the last was a dessert cannoli. I promise you won’t leave hungry! This is an excellent way to get to see these neighborhoods.
Learn a lot about Chinatown and Little Italy!

Valerie_W, Mar 2024
I appreciated how knowledgeable Rose was about the areas she took us to. And the background of the restaurants she took us to. She was even nice enough to take pictures for us. I didn't feel rushed at all. When I come back to NYC I hope to get her again as a tour guide for this tour.
Thank you!
