Fun and Informitive ! Lower East Side Artisan Food Tour

Recently took the Lower East Side Food Tour with my wife and mom. We had a great time interacting with the shop owners. These folks are passionate about their food and it shows in the delicious samples we tried. Had the best dill pickles ever, right from the curing barrels at The Pickle Guys. Our Guide Nicole was wonderful, such a friendly and fun person to be around. She is very knowledgeable on both the food and the neighborhood around it. When you are done with the Midtown tourist sites and want to see the original culinary influences of this great city, give City Food Tours a call. Brian .O

We had our tour on April 6 at 10am. We were so pleased with how it turned out. Despite the chilly tempretures, we had a blast. Our guide, Nicole was wonderful and very knowledgeable. The food was delicious. I would reccommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience the Lower East side more intimately.

The Lower East Side Artisan tour was not only full of information but you come away with some really good places to re-visit at a later time. It incorporated all the meals: breakfast, lunch and dinner along with notes on the history of the area and a little entertainment via Essex Food Market. I would recommend this if you want a little insight into the area, and some good tips on where to find the best coffee/chocolate/dessert and meal ingredients. YUM!!

Enlightening Lower East Side Artisan Food Tour

I brought my 9-year old daughter on this tour, and she loved it as much as I did. The food was delicious and fascinating, mostly because it's food you don't ordinarily see or think to try. For example, the grape ice cream was wonderfully refreshing. The orange doughnut was too good for words. In addition to the food, we learned so much history about these small, independent shops. These shops really are a treasure, and this tour highlights the wonders and simplicity of food and drinks made by actual people using fresh ingredients that were obtained by people who where paid fairly for their labor (i.e. fair trade coffee beans). We are typically bombarded by advertisements for the franchised restaurants, but these small, independent shops are the heart and soul of our country. I thank City Food Tours for sharing with me the delicious beauty and simplicity of the small independent food shops.

We really enjoyed our recent Center City tour. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable and the places we visited were great! I would recommend it to friends who have an interest in food and finding out about how things are made, where they come from and how to best enjoy them. It's a great way to spend an afternoon walking and sampling various foods and beverages. We really loved the Naked Chocolate Cafe!
Interesting venture into lower east side NYC food Lower East Side Artisan Food Tour
Sat, Mar 22, 08 10:00 AM	athiede	Female	50-59	Domestic Tourist(s)	Family With Children
My husband, daughter and I signed up for the artisan food tour and found little to disappoint us. The guide was great, sharing information about the history of the shops we visited, from a great donut shop to a very inventive coffee shop. We hit a sugar high at a local candy shop and then spent the remaining time at the Essex Market sampling everything from cheeses to a chicken dish prepared by the local butcher. The only disappointment was the fact that our tour was on Saturday and we were not able to visit a few of the Jewish owned shops since it was the Sabbath. It would have been nice if there had been some shops to take their place. When my husband and I come back to NYC, we would definitely like to come back to a few of these food boutiques in the lower east side. It was a fun experience.
Interesting but with some shortcomings. Lower East Side Artisan Food Tour
Sat, Mar 22, 08 10:00 AM	bthiestand	Male	30-39	Local	Group of Friends
I thought the leader of the group, Conrad, was a nice fellow who was obviously enthused with the topic, but I felt disappointed that at least two times during the tour he mentioned places that we would have gone had it not been Saturday (Shabbat) and the stores were closed (The Pickle Guy and Kossar's Bialys.) I really feel this should be listed on the tour description for the Saturday tour - " some stores may/will be closed on Saturdays." Other parts of the tour, The Roasting Plant specifically, was very interesting but not what I would think of as artisan-style food. It felt a little too much like a commerical for the store, rather than a tasting sample. I felt similarly with the visit to Economy Candy. The guide basically just walked us to the store, told us a bit about it and said go inside and get something if you like. The last part of the tour in the Essex Market was interesting also, but I felt that the samples of the food that we received, other than the cordon-bleu, were already provided by the vendors and not something special that had been arranged by the tour. All in all, I enjoyed the tour but felt that for $40.00 a bit more food would have been provided to showcase the artisan foods in the area, rather than 2 shots of coffee, 2 bites of a donut, and a small piece of microwaved cordon-bleu. Thanks for your time, Brian Hiestand

I really enjoyed the easy-going, casual and friendly feel of this tour. When we walked in to Joe's Coffee, we were met by warm greetings and made to feel right at home, which is important to a group from out-of-town. Our guides, Robert and Eric, were funny, informed, and interesting. On our walks to the next stop, we learned a little about places we were passing - always welcome to history buffs! The Naked Chocolate shop and Di Bruno's were excellent choices for their delicious samples and informative narrative. Thank you for accommodating the 3 generations in our group! We hope to take another tour on our next trip to Philadelphia!
So interesting and entertaining Lower East Side Artisan Food Tour

We were late, but Joyce, the tour guide, saved our samples and the explanations. I loved all the information, including why Wisconsin's cheese can't hold its "head" up near European samples that we tasted. I loved the samples of chocolate which I purchased as a hostess gift. Across from the coffee house where I had the best cup of coffee ever, I bought, at the bookstore we visited, a book that I am reading for more information about this immigrant area that is in the throes of gentrification. I am definitely returning for more information and fun.
Not much for the money Lower East Side Artisan Food Tour

This tour was ok, but not worth the $40. You can probably walk the neighborhood yourself and find all the food establishments.
This tour is phenomenal! Center City Food Lovers Adventure in Philly
Sat, Mar 15, 08 1:00 PM	JessicaDoty	Female	30-39	Local	Group of Friends
My husband and two of our friends (another married couple) participated in this tour last Saturday. It focused on teas, chocolate & cheeses ... an amazingly decadent afternoon! It also provided us with interesting history & information about each one ... we all learned something! Our guide Eric was extremely knowledgeable, very friendly and did a great job of keeping us engaged and entertained. Eric also noted various Philadelphia architectural points of interest along the tour which was a nice touch as well. A great way to satisfy your tastebuds and your culinary intellect in one 2.5 hour tour! I highly recommend this to locals & tourists alike. In fact, we are planning on hiring Center City Food Tours to custom design a tour for a group of our friends in the future.
