What do bagels, dumplings, pizza, and tacos have in common?
They’re 4 foods you should eat every time you come to New York!!
Each has grown beyond it’s origins to become beloved around the world, and on this tour, we eat delicious versions of all of them!
As we wind through the visually stunning neighborhoods of the Lower East Side, Chinatown, Little Italy, and Nolita we’ll learn the stories of these iconic foods, discovering how they changed New York, and how New York changed them.
We will dip our toes in the art, architecture and history of New York’s most famous melting pot, and most importantly, we’ll eat a lot of delicious food.
We keep our groups small and we don’t have to follow a scripted route so we can leave the beaten path and go deeper into the city.
You’ll leave feeling a deeper connection to the food., and the city, so when you’re done with the tourist stuff, it’s time for Bagels, Dumplings, Pizza, and Tacos!
