| We really liked the LES food tour, led by Jennifer. On our short trip to NYC, it was nice to go to a neighborhood we wouldn't normally get to and learn about the LES history. The food we sampled was all fantastic, although we did not get to try the pickles because it was a Saturday.
One thing to note, other reviewers said they did not need lunch after the tour. I would beg to differ! We only had a few bites of food to sample over the 2 hours & were actually starving when the tour was over!! |

| My husband and I took this tour back in April...I was holding out on writing the review because the guide promised to send us a list of the restaurants/shops we visited and through that email I was hoping to be reminded of her name. In any case, she was great!
We started the morning with donuts (cake and yeast) and then moved on to bially, pickles (my favorite), coffee, cupcakes and pizza. The donuts and pizza are vying for the title of husband's favorite.
The tour's meeting location was easy to find, the walking easy and the back stories entertaining. I would (and have) recommended this tour to my friends. |

| of the 2 hours, 45 minutes were at one end of the food court teaching us about chocolate and cheese..while interesting, the tour was described on the internet as a food oriented tour of the lower east side...didnt get a very good understanding of the area..food stops ok but we have been on several other food tours which we have thoroughly enjoyed and this wasnt in the same league..when we brought up suggestions to the tour guide(who happened to be the owner), she was defensive and not interested in our ideas...she also was on her blackberry repeatedly during the tour..all in all, not a great experience |

| My husband and I had a wonderful time on the LES food tour. Our guide Nicole was thorough and enthusiastic. We loved the combination of the different shops we stopped at and enjoyed sampling all of the wonderful treats. We'd definitely take another tour again somewhere in the city. It's also worth mentioning that we have lived in the city for more than ten years, yet we still found it interesting to learn about a neighborhood that's in our back yard.
Dreaming of donut plan donuts,

| Jennifer was a terrific tour guide. We were the only people (couple) on the tour. Jennifer arrived promptly and was enthusiastic and knowledgable both about the history of the area and the foods we sampled. The tour was filled with friendly New York establishments along with incredible food stops. Our guide knew all the places we stopped at and knew the owner/operators. This increased the pleasure and experience of the trip because we weren't just stopping in places, but experiencing them with the people who run them. We definitely recommend this tour and especially our guide. |

| I would recommend this tour even if you are from the local area (as my partner was). What you experience are the things that may be off the beaten path but are of significant importance to the overall culture of the area. It was very enjoyable, the tour guide well informed and great personality. |

| My friend and I had such a great time on the LES tour! Our guide Jennifer gave such an all-encompassing history of the neighborhood, culture and food of the area while engaging us with colorful backgrounds of the shops and vendors we were visiting. I've lived in NY for over 5 years, yet had never discovered these great little food gems on my own! |
