| It was great. I'm technically a local because I've lived in the city for 1 1/2 years. But originally hailing from Florida, I didn't know some of the information or most of the restaurants. So, it was a great experience for me! I went with friends who live here and friends from out of town. We all had a great time. The food was amazing!! I tried things that I would never had tried on my own, but in the situtation was more than willing to try! My only suggestion is an alcohol option. Extra $15 or so dollars to get drinks at a few of the locations. My group and I said we would definitely do that! I've already suggested this to other friends! :) |

| I had been on NYC tours before and thought it would be tough to be as good as the last but this was really a GREAT tour. Susan the guide was very good at making everyone feel comfortable. Her passion for the tour and her knowledge of the area and it's history made this one of the best tours that I had ever been on in the city! The choice of food was diverse and very exciting. The length of the tour was perfect and the volume of food was tremendous. Oh I forgot...it really speaks volumes that I had such a great time and it was a crapy raining day!....We got beyond the weather and had tons of fun! |

| I loved this tour so much that I am definitely going to go on all the rest. It really made me fall in love with the city. The food was delicious, our guide was authentic and knowledgeable. The mood was relaxed and the group was nice and small so you don't feel like too much of a tourist. I went with friends both from out of town and New Yorkers and everyone learned new things and enjoyed themselves. I absolutely loved it and it was WELL worth the money. I could've gone much longer than 3 hours! |

| 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. |

| Visiting NYC for the weekend from Boston, my husband and I wanted to do this tour - to get a sense of the history, culture, and architecture of Greenwich Village. This was one fabulous tour and absolutley surpassed our expectations!!
Our guide, Suzie, knew her stuff - both in terms of the local merchants, local history, and the 'Who's Who' of some of the precious gems of the Village and she is an excellent storyteller. But above all - the food stops - restaurants and deli's were outstanding!! It is essential to be hungry when you start this tour because in the course of the stops - you certainly eat more food than one would in an average meal. In fact - even though we wanted to have dinner at one of the restaurants Sat night - - we did not even eat dinner that evening! But on Sunday - we knew right where we wanted to go. I am sharing these discoveries with only my closest friends.
We purchased one sausage at the meat market we had visited and most certainly should have purchased more!
This tour is fun, informative, a great value - and absolutley delicious!!! A gem in itself~ THE perfect way to spend 3 hours on a saturday. Highly recommended!
Thank you!! |

| This was my third food tour. Having thoroughly enjoyed the West End of the Village tour and the Chelsea Market tour, I was confident that this tour would follow suit. I think this might even be my favorite food tour. Susan was our tour guide and my favorite of the three guides. As the Chinese and Japanese tours don't interest me, I saddened that there aren't more for me. If you expand, I'd be interested. You succeed in welcoming a stranger into the intimacies of a neighborhood. I have returned many times to these neighborhoods and have introduced other friends to the wonderful eateries, shops and bits of history that you introduced me to. As I know many people who don't often venture to NYC because it seems an overwhelmning experience to them, I recommend your food tours. |
