Don't miss this tour of Chinatown

The 3 hour walking/eating tour of Chinatown was so well-organized and so much fun. We learned a lot about the history of the area and the different establishments along the way, all while sampling delicious foods of many varieties at several stops. Our guide, Raheem, was enthusiastic and informative. You can walk around Chinatown on your own and have fun, but going on this tour makes it much more fun and interesting. I wouldn't have known where to go inside and eat, but Raheem knew the best places. Great tour!!!

wonderful - would recommend!

My husband and I absolutely loved this tour. We're British tourists, and this served as an introduction to NYC's China Town as much as a culimary voyage of discovery. The guide (Rahim) was excellent - very knowledgeable and friendly: he really made the whole experience, dropping in little tips and stories. Not only did we sample some amazing food (including what my husband has dubbed 'The Best Dim Sum on Earth' - and this from a man who's visited China...), but we got to see locals playing Chinese Chess in the park and see a bolt-hole that was used by Chinese gang members back in the day. I would thoroughly recommend the tour - we did it to celebrate my husband's 30th birthday, but we'll definitely be going on one of the company's other foodie tours next time we're in town.

Chinatown, Chelsea, Soho/Greenwich at a glance

I have had the pleasure of touring with Food Tours of NY three times, all of which have far exceeded expectation. It is a small group, only 14 - 16 people. The guides are vibrant and enthusiastic and it feels like you've got a close friend or relative who's an insider, guiding you around their favorite jaunts. Lots of great information, even maps and summaries, including places that are in the area, but not necessarily on the tour. I've saved all of my 'insider' booklets from these tours and shared them with friends and re-used them on return visits. In my opinion, this is one of the best ways to get to know an area of the City.

Far exceeded my expectations. I am a career food service pro with a good following of friends, and blog followers. I'll get the word out to hundreds of friends in the next few days. Headed back to dim sum to go again today. Thank you so much for Rasheem !! He's the best !

As good as we had hoped...

My husband and I have taken all the Food Tours presently offered and we'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite. This tour measured right up to the others and, Raheem, as usual, was an informed and enthusiastic guide. Chinatown can be a challenging, somewhat impenetrable neighbourhood to visit and this tour was an excellent introduction. I'd strongly recommend it for both locals and visitors. And they were right - come hungry.

What a great way to explore and experience Chinatown. We have been there several times, but this experience made us feel that for the first time, we knew our way around. Wonderful choices of restaurants and a great variety. Leader was very knowledgeable of the area and made many recommendations when we come back on our own. This was our first time with this company and we can't wait to sign-up for the next tour.
