Despite what a lot of people think, there ARE great, affordable places to eat in Midtown, and you’ll visit and learn about some of them on this food crawl.
Midtown is also one of the most important and awe-inspiring places on planet earth, and we not only move you through some iconic - and some lesser known - ambiances in an artful way that leaves you feeling full and satisfied, heart, mind, and belly.
BUT this is not your normal food tour. We don't follow a fixed route. Instead the experienced, licensed guide will get the pulse of the group and draw from a big bag of options to make each experience a little more personal, memorable, and unique.
We are always learning more about the city, and that's how we can run these organic events that are less scripted and more like an eclectic group of friends out for a food crawl in the city.
Wear comfortable clothes and be prepared to walk. We cover a lot of ground and often eat standing up.

Our route changes from day to day, taking input from the group, guide, and city to create a one-of-a-kind experience. BUT we almost always crisscross 42nd Street with all its important sites and history.
