A “must do” on a trip to N.Y.

Published on Jan, 2025

Ross was great, very knowledgeable and a great conversationalist. Learnt lots about the neighborhood and some fabulous food stops. Highly recommend, thank you

Great Experience!

Published on Nov, 2024

This was a fun food and walking tour! Lydia asked us how much history we wanted as we walked around and she gave us just the right amount. She knew the answers to all our questions and we really enjoyed learning about the history and personalities of the area. Meeting Gary of the Bleeker Street Pizza family was a highlight. Not only was the pizza superb, but he was charming. I appreciated that we went to several food establishments (bakery, restaurant, deli) that had been in the same family for generations. My favorite stop was definitely the pizza. A second favorite was the Belgian french fries with multiple sauces - especially the rosemary sauce! Lydia was a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide and we really enjoyed our time with her.

Beautiful food tour in the West Village

Published on Oct, 2024

Ross did a great job with the tour. He is very knowledgeable on the history of the area and even had some great personal stories to add. We enjoyed the selection of foods and it was just enough to make for a large lunch accumulatively. We highly recommend this tour!

Great mix of food and local sights

Published on Oct, 2024

A great way to mix trying different food with learning about the neighbourhood. Meg shared heaps of information and was great with answering the many questions our son had. We enjoyed looking inside the different shops and meeting with one of the shop owners and hearing stories including celebrities who visit his shop. A lovely way to spend the morning!
