| All three of us had taken (and thoroughly enjoyed) the first Greenwich food tour a few months ago and were equaly enthusiastic about this one. Great guide (Barry, not Mary!), interesting information, excellent food. A great value and perfect way to learn about NYC. The next morning we returned to Cafe del Mar for a wonderful brunch. Good food at a very reasonable price. |

| We wish this kind of tours could be possible everywhere in Ny.Next time weŽll try another of your tours
We had this phenomenal guide, Barry, who took well care of us all, who informed us so well on cultural and gastronomical issues while we walked. We could not miss anything. WeŽll remember New York after this, be sure. |

| I loved the information that we were given about the area that we were in and the restaurants that we could return to to eat,d rink and derive entertainment from. The down part of the trip was a lot of standing around instead of walking or finding a spot where we could all sit and listen to the guides. The food was good and they accommodated individuals who were vegans and disliked spicey food. Very considerate. Some of the portions could have been larger or peraps have two small ortions of two different foods at the same location. I wold reccommend this tour to others in the New York area as something to do when they first arrived so that they had options for dinners and entertainment away from Broadway. |

| The tour was very good. Barry seemed annoyed when I bought some food at a pasta shop. She told me three times that the tour would not wait. I agreed each time, saying OK, we'll catch up. The third time was REALLY annoying. The group had not left when my purchase was complete for reasons that have nothing to do with me. Therefore, at least two of the three naggings were superfluous.
Also, there was no bathroom stop on a three hour event.. Not so good for persons over sixty.
Otherwise, we enjoyed the food, the history, and the tour. |

| My husband and I were told by a friend to try a food tour on our day trip to NYC. Every time we have been to the city before, we just shopped and hung out. We just cannot stop talking about our experience on this tour and our tour guide, Susan, is absolutely wonderful. She told us so much interesting history about Central Village/SOHO. The food was outstanding and we were very impressed with everything. We cannot wait to come back again and try another area food tour! We just hope that all of your tour guides are as great as Susan. Thanks for a great 3 hours! |

| I enjoyed this tour with a small group of friends on a weekend trip...I can't think of a better way to spend several hours. The tour was informally informative, flexible with the needs of the group, and quite delicious. I enjoyed the diversity of the restaurants visited, and loved all the food. Came away quite full! Loved the guide too. A perfect day. |

| Really enjoyed the variety of places we went. The food was great. The guide, Susan, was very infomative and a pleasure to listen to. This is one of the best food tours I've ever taken. Plenty of food. Actually a bit too much, I was stuffed! |

| Our group was very impressed with the tour, the guide and the food. We ended up going back to Bellavitae for dinner that night. I had the pork chop, some had the young chicken that was talked about during our tour stop. We are already planning which tour to take next time we are in the city. |

| The guide was excellent...took care of everybody, gave interesting commentaries delivered with a clear, resonant voice. He appeared to have a genuine interest in his work and in the area and places we toured.
There was a good balance between the food and culture aspects of the tour. The food was interesting.
Next time I'm in NYC I would go back on my own to visit the food places we toured. |

| This is my third experience with Foods of New York, and they haven't failed me yet. And I don't believe they ever will.
Instructions to the meeting place were accurate. The guide was on time and easy to identify. The food tastings were varied and interesting. And the guide was knowledgeable and fun ... a personality.
The time flew by, and I enjoyed every facet of the few hours. |
