Central Village/SoHo Food & Culture Tour

this is my second food tour in new york city. remarkable how much you can learn traveling the inner pockets of this ethnic and diverse city! enjoying not only the great food distinctive of SOHO i learned so much about the culture, especially the music icons who first started playing in this particular part of the "village". i will return for MORE!

I loved the experience of trying the variety of foods in this charming neighborhood.

On my last visit to NYC I decided to try one of the food tours. I woke up to a Noreaster that was plaguing NYC but as the tour was set to run rain or shine I headed out prepeared for the weather and what Ithought may not turn out to be a great day. Boy, was I wrong!! Our wonderful guide Susan met us at Cafe Del Mare and we started our trek. The food was not only delicious and interesting to learn about but Susan provided so much knowledge of the neighborhood and the culture of the region. She is an excellent guide. I cannot wait for my next trip to the city to try one of your other food tours. Since my return to NH I have raved about this tour and highly recommend it to friends who may be visiting the city. Thank you Jane from NH

Susan, our tour guide was very good! Thanks.

Really fun to learn and eat at hte same time; found some of the food more tasty and special than others but owuld do this again in a hearbeat--good use of our time and money.

The tour was informative, the food great. We were not crazy about the guide, she rushed us at every stop saying there was another group right behind us. Maybe if she hadn't spent so much time talking we would have had more time to sit and enjoy the food and the experience.

Thought the tour was very interesting and the food sampled quite good. However, we felt very rushed starting about 2/3 of the way through the tour. Perhaps less time could have been spent during the orientation so as to not rush us later. In addition, we thought it was a waste of time to spend so much time inside La Lanterna when we were not sampling food there. At Cuba, the food was excellent, but we were encouraged to order mojitos and then had only a few minutes to drink them. Enjoyed the tour very much, but feel it could use a few modifications.

I had purchased tickets as a surprise for our family...my husband, our 13 year old daughter(who eats everything) and myself, as a surprise!!!. Our host was Diana who grew up and has lived much of her life in the Soho, Greenwich Village area. She was absolutely fabulous with historic and cultural information as well as took us to some of the most amazing food stops. We visited restaurants, bakeries, butchers, eateries and more. We sampled alot of food. After the tour we visited 4 of the stops later for meals or treats. We would have gone to more, but had to come home!!!!! We will do one of the other tours on our next trip to NYC. I would absolutely recommend these tours to everyone!! Laurie and family

This tour was much better than I expected--better food, more information about the area and the history, and just a lovely way to learn little-known facts about this section of NYC. I took my mother as a birthday gift, and she and I really enjoyed it. We happened to have a perfect fall day and the streets were crowded, which only added to the energy of NY.

Your tour was wonderful. It was recommended to me by a New York native as a great thing to do when my mother and sister-in-law came to NY for a short holiday. We had a great time. I loved that the food was affordable, the guide knowledgable and that the information she provided was about many topics. We had a blast.
