| Rahim was an entertaining tour guide, telling us stories about SoHo and Central Village's history, the restaurants we visited, as well as the architecture. He did a great job weaving together stories about the area together with stories about the food. What I particularly appreciated, as a foodie, was the level of detail he gave about what made the food at the restaurants so good. And the smoked mozzarella from Joe's Dairy--YUM! The only thing I could critique the tour for is the amount of food -- I would like to have tried samples from more restaurants Rahim talked about during the tour.
It definitely beats going on the more typical tours. And it something both locals and visitors will enjoy. I highly recommend it! |

| Our tour guide Rahim was amazing and very knowledgeable and enthusiastic.
I learned so many things about the village and soho that I never knew before and I"m a local!
He was so amazing in his ability to recount funny stories, tibits and anecdotes about his experiences in the village as well!
I loved the places we visited and I will definitely recommend this tour to everyoone and him as he made the experience so wonderful.
It was nice that this was not only a food tour but a cultural/architecture slant with it as well. |

| We loved Rahim! He made the tour so interesting and fun. he's knowledgeable and energetic. This tour is exactly what we were searching for. Good food from fun Mom and Pop shops, some history, fun funky facts about the area. We felt a little imtimidated in the area and by the time we finished, we felt comfortable and well oriented to the area.
Thanks rahim-your new friends from Texas. 10/9/08 tour

| I enjoyed seeing the neighborhood and hearing about its history. The food, though, was less interesting than I expected. The Greenwich Village and Chelsea Market tours offered better selections. |

| When the tour ended, I went with a couple from the tour shopping and for coffee at a couple of the places mentioned on the tour. We passed the rest of the tour group at a pastry shop also pointed out by our guide. Can't wait for my next trip to NY. I'd revisit the Greenwich/Soho area to eat and shop (at least window shop) at the businesses listed by our guide. |

| Our tour leader, Rahim, was a delight. Very knowledgable, enthusiastic, and animated. His love for food was obvious and he gave us a great historical overview of Soho and the Central Village. I'd highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to learn about New York culture. |

| I have been on 2 other tours with Foods of NY (one multiple times) and thought that this tour was also good, but not as good as the others offered. It could have been much shorter than it was as it seemed to drag at times, and we in fact went over the allotted time. But the food choices were all good and again, lots of information. |
