Central Village/SoHo Food & Culture Tour

Loved the tour & getting to know the history of New York City.

A friend and I took this tour hoping to learn some history about the area and to find restaurants for later in our trip. Despite the bitter cold, the tour guide was in a great mood and happy to share all kinds of information. And we ate enough to be full!!

This was our second food tour through Food Tours of New York. We had learned so much about the history, culture, food and architecture of the area, that we decided that it would become part of our annual trip. The Central Village/SOHO food tour was even better than the Greenwich Village tour! We really enjoyed the diversity of food ethnicities within this tour. Our tour guide, Rahmand, was clearly passionate about both the food places we visited, and the areas in which we walked. I especially appreciate the attentiveness he took to my personal dietary needs as a pregnant women with specific food allergies. I don't feel like I missed out on any tasting, as he was kind enough to make great substitutions. Our last night in the city we ate at a restaurant that was on the tour, Bella Vitae. Amazing! Thanks for the recommendation, and for another amazing food tour! We will be back again next year for another area, and more eating.

This was our second "Foods of NY" tour - just a good as the first (Greenwich Village) - totally worth the price, you are fed well and learn a lot about the area. The only tip: if you tour in the Winter, dress warm and in comfy shoes!

This is our 4th tour with you, 2nd time on this tour and will do it again.

This is my 2nd time doing this tour & it was even better than the 1st time 6 yrs ago. The food & restaurants were very well chosen and Rashad knew his stuff. I would recommend doing the tour early in your trip. We returned to one of the restaurants and had an wonderful meal. Now if they could just control the weather...

Our guide, Raheem, had a superb personality and was so informative and fun. The tastings were amazing. The shops and restaurants were a great mix of various ethnic choices. We would highly recommend this tour to people of a variety of ages. Singles, domestic and international tourists and, yes, New Yorkers, would all enjoy. We will definitely pass this info to anyone we know will be in NYC in the future. It is a great value as well.

We had Susan as a guide, she is really interesting,loves food and the neighborhood. She and the food made this walk a don't miss. All the restaurants are really great. We will try some of them on our next trip to NYC.

I can't say enough good things about these tours - first the Greenwich Village tour I took in June and now the Central Village/SoHo tour. The guides are fun, informative and eager to answer any questions you have. Very highly recommended and can't wait to take another tour.

As with other two food and culture tours we have taken, the cultural and historic information was priceless. We love New York but learning about the neighborhoods, the people and their culture makes it come alive. If New York can be more lively. Our guide, Rahim, was exceptional. He even new the homeless people on the street. Rahim's enthusiasm for New York and the area in which he lives spilled over to the group. Of course there was the food. The portions were generous and the people who served us were friendly and courteous. The cheescake at Bellavitae was a highlight. Thank you, Zerve
