| I love your tours because they provide a great mix of New York history and culture and introduce great food that we would not be able to find on our own. Great organization of routes and selection of foods. |

| The three-hour tour flew by. I have been to Greenwich Village dozens of times from being a teenager on and never enjoyed it so much. The food tastings were all delicious and educational (and filling too). OUr guide was fantastic. He took care of us wonderfully as we traveled many blocks and streets. He xplained every cuisine, stop and other interesting sites wonderfully. |

| We have now taken three Foods of New York Food Tours, the most recent being the
Central Village/SOHO Food and Culture Tour. All have been outstanding, but this
may have been the best of the three. The food samples were very good and ample,
and the commentary from our guide (Berrie) was excellent. Highly recommended. |

| The tour was not only culinary and cultural, but architecturally enlightening as well. Our guide (Rahim) was knowledgeable, affable, and entertaining. The tastings were well chosen and delicious--things we may not have ever had a chance, or an inclination, to try. The pace was comfortable but not dawdling, and the entire experience, especially the small group, was a pleasure. We went back to the Village a couple of nights later and ate at one of the featured restaurants--what a treat! My wife and I (60-ish) and our daughter (29) thoroughly enjoyed the tour and highly recommend it to anyone and everyone. For us, it's a "don't miss" on a trip to New York. |

| It was an extensive sales talk of neighborhood restaurants with street food sorts of samples.. The guide was energetic and made an effort to conceal the sales pitch nature of the event. |

| this was our 3rd tour with Zerve - we did Chelsea's Market in 2005; Greenwich Village in 2006 and Greenwich/Soho this year (2007).
Your tours are GREAT! very informative and the food is delicious and of a great variety. We learned a lot and now will be able to visit these areas on our own and know where to visit.
what will we do next year - you've got to come up with something new.

| We were a group of 5 friends. 3 having been to NY & 2 not.
Your tour proved to be a highlight of our 5 day stay. It gave us an excellent feel for the area & returned one evening to enjoy dinner at Monty's, visit the Comedy Cellar, & a Blues venue.
The mix of history, & food cultures proved excellent. We tried things that we would never have found or tasted.
We all would highly recommend this tour to others.
The weather was an added bonus - no umbrellas required!!

| Barri, the tour guide, was the best part of the tour. She was extremely knowledgable and passionate about the area.
If there is not going to be a break in the walkiing, that needs to be stated in the write up. I went with a group of ten women and it was very tiring for many of them. We had been on the previous tours and there was always a stop to sit and catch your breath...this definitely needs to be included on this tour for it to be enjoyable for many. Also, the food on this tour is very ethnic...it would be better if there was a better mix of the food. Many in our group did not enjoy the food selections...how about a regular bakery or a chocolate shop? We were all definitely craving something sweet after the tour. I would hope that you could make some adjustments so that this trip would measure up to the two previous trips. |
