Tour Itinerary & Highlights
Note: This is a suggested itinerary – we can customize based on your preferences.
- Your food and culture experience begins when your expert tour guide and driver arrive to pick you up in your private luxury vehicle.
- Your tour may start with a bite in Hell’s Kitchen, which is the home of various international cuisines and numerous trendy popular restaurants.
- From there it’s on to a tasting in Greenwich Village which is often referred to as just “The Village” or “West Village” and is home to many popular cafes, bars, and restaurants.
No NYC food tour would be complete without a visit to Little Italy, so that is where you are off to next! Here you’ll enjoy an authentic Italian treat from one of the seemingly infinite dining options. - Next stop is the Lower East Village, aka LES. LES has a fabulous food scene and is the home to a plethora of delis – many of Jewish heritage – among various other dining options.
In total you’ll make four to five food stops along your journey. At each stop, you’ll step out of the vehicle while your tour guide gets your tastings. As you are enjoying your fare, you’ll not only learn about the food you are sampling, but also about the history, hidden gems and little-known facts of the neighborhoods you are visiting. - Some examples of what you might be sampling include a cheesy slice of NYC pizza, one of those famous NYC hotdogs, oh-so-decadent homemade Sicilian cannoli, Norwegian smoked salmon (an NYC favorite) on, yes, the equally famous NYC bagel, spanakopita which is Greek spinach pie, a mozzarella and prosciutto sandwich and a delicious Chinese dumpling.
- Along the way you may see some of New York City’s most well-known attractions and locales including Chinatown, Tribeca, Madison Square Garden, the Empire State Building, Grand Central Terminal, Rockefeller Center, Radio City Hall and more!
