I truly enjoyed this tour. Our tour guide Jonathon was wonderful. He checked in the morning of the tour about food allergies and brought the experience to life in a colorful way. As I did this tour solo it was fun to meet other folks joining as well. Definitely recommend. Do not eat breakfast before.
Yum and fun

John was an excellent tour guide, friendly and knowledgeable. He quickly learned our names and gelled the group together. Food samples were tasty and varied. Enjoyed learning about the history of the Lower East Side and he pointed out lots of things we would have missed otherwise. Will definitely do a food tour of a different area next time we are in New York
Loved this Lower East Side food tour!
