| I enjoyed the tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and sampling the food was fun. However, I would recommend slowing the walking pace. Also, the Greenwich Village tour had more foods to sample so I would recommend more foods to sample on this tour as well. Thank you! |

Excellent combination of food and area history

| Susan was a terrific host; she possessed great knowledge of the area and was enthusiastic about all the foods and the sites we visited. The pace and the length of the tour was just right. I would do another food tour in a New York minute. |

We will do this again!

| Our group leader was organized, fun and sensitive to the needs of our group. She was aware of the needs we had and addressed our questions. I thought she made our tour fun and moved us along and shared so many interesting facts and details. We loved the friendly neighborhood restaurants and food samples. Our day on the walking tour was a highlight of our trip to NYC. |

| an excellent experience; our group which consisted of one male and two females of a certain age had a great time; our guide, susan, was extremely knowledgeable about the village; the food was very good and more than i expected; she told great stories about the area, the buildings and the clubs, restaurants and stores; i was
expecially interested because my father was born in the village and it was where i used to hang when i was in college; although i have been to the area many times, it was great to hear the history and to find some of the small shops and restaurants
that i had never noticed before; all in all a great day; recommended highly |

| This is our second food tour experience. Although we enjoyed the food on the traditional Greenwich Village tour more, this was also very informative and fun. The tour guide was a wealth of knowledge. It's a great way to learn more about the village while experiencing the diverse food culture. |

| This food tasting tour was excellent. It was lots of fun, and the tour guide was very knowledgeable about the areas we visited in the Central Village and SoHo. The food tastings were excellent, and it truly was enough for lunch. I am a local girl who is fairly knowledgeable about New York, and I learned alot! I definitely recommend it to both locals and out-of-towners. |

| The food and all related information was great, as was our guide. I have already returned to three of the restaurants visited or mentioned. The three hour tour was one hour too long, though, filled/fluffed out with extra blocks and extra talk to examine small architectural detail. Some neighborhood input...while moving between food venues, not standing to receive a lecture...would be interesting, but I would assume that others registering for a food tour, as was our case, are interested in food. Two hours would have been ample time to cover the food venues on this tour. |

| This tour was one of the highlights of our week-long visit to NYC. Our guide Rahim was very personable, knowledgeable and enthusiastic (with that NYC edge of course) This was the 3rd tour we have taken with Foods of New York over 2 visits and we found Rahim to be the best guide so far (although Kurt on the Chelsea Market tour was pretty good too) As far as the food was concerned we especially liked the food from Peanut Butter & Co., Pino's Meats and Grandaisy |
