We were lucky with the weather for this walking tour. The food from the places visited on the tour were fantastic my only criticism would be that when visiting the shops ie pasta and cheese producers we were able to go inside to see the food being made but we did not really see anything or get to see the producers maybe ask questions, it would have been nice but i appreciated that they were working and had customers in store. Great way to explore the Greenwich/Soho area of New York on a summers day. Thankyou |

This was a lot of fun! |

The food was great and there was plenty, but the tour of the area / neighborhoods was a real highlight. We had two tour guides (regular and a trainee) and both were excellent. The food focus is things you might not normally try on your own. It was interesting and all very good. Wife and I will be back for another tour. |

Our tour guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We really got a "taste" of the area and can't wait to go back on my own and try my favorites. I recommend it to anyone. |

My wife and I enjoyed the 3 hour tour very much. You may even call it an intimate tour in that it emphasized small family owned places that you would never find on your own. That together with the history of the area made it very worthwile. The "tastings" involved more food than expected and we were able to skip both lunch and dinner. I would recommend it to others. |

Informative and Fun tour |

This is a great tour, with lots of interesting information going way beyond food that you could not get out of a guidebook! I have already revisited three of the spots on the tour and plan to take friends to many more. Highly recommended not only for tourists, but also for locals or people who just moved into the neighborhood. You will learn about the history of the area as well as discover some off-the-beaten path things to do (jazz and comedy clubs) and plenty of delicious places to eat. |

This is the 3rd tour I have done with Foods of NY. This was the Soho and Central Village tour. Great information, awesome tastings, knowledgeable guide! Words can't do it justice, you should go - any of their tours are worth it!!! I booked as soon as I saw they added another tour. I hope they will add a fourth! |

interesting & delicious |

hi,
it was raining on the day I made the tour, but we got long ponchos and so it was really okay.
The tour was interesting, you get to know different shops, restaurants and bars and also where people had been living.
The snacks are delicious and afterwards you do not need to buy anything, because you are full.
I would recommend to eat something for breakfast, because the quantity of food you get is like a normal lunch (european way) |

We had an amazing time. We truly wished the skies hadn't opened up and poured, because we know had wonderful Washington Square would've been in the sunshine, but the tastings were delicious, and Barri was so knowledgable! |

Exceeded our expectations |

We did not know what to expect on this food tour - having done nothing like it before .... we went into it with some trepidation. But the whole tour, the information, the style, the enthusiasm (to name but a few) made it a great experience. We had been to NYC before but, now feel like we really know a small corner in a hell of a lot of detail and can recommend to our British friends who come to visit your city. Great Stuff!! |

informative, enjoyable, delicious! |

This tour comes highly recommended by a native New Yorker who now lives in Virginia. There was a good mix of information both cultural, historical, as well as excellent food tastings from select locations along the way. The informaton on rest-
aurants, different shops , and specific entertainment spots will serve as a good resource for me when I return to Central Village and Soho in the future. The guide was both personable and knowledgeable and set a comfortable pace for all on this tour.I also liked the fact that we were given written informaton on the spots visited and the tour had a maximum of 16 people which made it easy to keep up with the guide and ask questoins. In a few short hours I felt that I really got to know this area and will be more at ease navigating this section of N.Y. and making better restaurant & eatery choices when I do frequent this area again. |
