| This is one of the best experiences you can get in New York, the information and history is a bonus to the fabulous food sampling. I did a tour 2 years ago and loved it and I think this one actually has more food. Go for the cheesecake alone, it is divine. The guide was good and if you happen to get Cindy, she is absolutely outstanding. Its a compact wonderful insight into thsi area, its history and some great restaurant tips. I have sent many friends already. Book it, fantastic value! |

| Interesting places to visit and the food was delicious! Loved the variety from Indian to Italian to Cuban to the fresh smoked mozarella at Joe's Dairy. The ricotta cheesecake at Bellavitae was the best we had in the city! It was fun to actually go inside the restaurants and sit down to enjoy our tastes. Rahim was a wonderful tour guide and his stories really made the Village and SoHo come alive for us! It was great to have some details of the history and architecture and the colorful characters who have populated the area over the years. I would highly recommend this tour. |

| Half of the food was amazing, and the other half was average. Although the walk through Washington Park was pretty, I would have preferred to spend more time at eating establishments or food boutiques. If would be great if the company would purchase those disposable ponchos and then sell them on the tour, as we spent half of the tour in the rain. |

| Everything was so well organized. Our guide knew the area and food stops in depth. I can't decide which tour to take the next time I visit NYC. |

| We are 4 friends from Ontario on our 1st group adventure to NYC. One of the group had participated in your food/cultural tours in the past and was eager for the rest of us to experience the same. From start to finish we had a great time. It rained, but it did not matter a bit. The food was amazing.....the mohitos at "Cuba" were out of this world!
Along with the great food we had the history of the area told to us by a great guide, Rahim? Rahib?......he was delightful, fun, knowledgeable.
I would definitely be a return customer and can't wait for my next trip to bring different friends along.
On behalf of our group ....Thank you for a wonderful Saturday!

| Thank-you Susan of Foods of NY for a great tour of Soho and Greenwich!
The tastings were delicious!
And the history tour of the Village was fantastic! SUSAN was fabulous!!
We even came back the next night and tried Monty's for dinner and thought it was quite good.
Would recommend it to friends for a fun walk around a great area -- tasting a few delights and happily learning about the ins-and outs of a cool area! |

| We've already recommended this to our friends, and even gone back to two of the 4 of the places highlighted on our tour!
The Ricotta Cheesecake at Bellavitae was the best we've ever had.
We bought coffee from Porto Rico Importing, Co. and have already made some in a brand new French Press!
We got some noodles from Rafetto's and can't wait to make them.
Overall, This was one of the highlights of our trip. We hope to take one of the other food tours when we return! |

| I can't say enough good things about this tour. Our guide was very personable and very knowledgeable and he shared a lot of the history of the area with us along the way. There was a great variety of different types of food to sample, from Indian, to Cuban, to Italian, to pastries, to cheese and sausage, to (my personal favorite) genuine New York cheesecake. This is a great way to learn some of the history of New York, as well as a great way to discover some additional restaurants that you might want to try on your own in addition to the restaurants on the tour and it's a great way to get to try things that you might never have tried otherwise. Plus, you get to see a lot of interesting sites along the way. I can't wait to go back to New York again next year and take another one of these tours. I highly recommend this! It's well worth the money and the time. |

| This was the second food tour that I have done with this company and we were not disappointed. It was absolutely wonderful - our guide was fantastic and the food was incredible. I would totally do another one of these tours again. |
