| We've already recommended this to our friends, and even gone back to two of the 4 of the places highlighted on our tour!
The Ricotta Cheesecake at Bellavitae was the best we've ever had.
We bought coffee from Porto Rico Importing, Co. and have already made some in a brand new French Press!
We got some noodles from Rafetto's and can't wait to make them.
Overall, This was one of the highlights of our trip. We hope to take one of the other food tours when we return! |

| We thoroughly enjoyed both the guide and tour. I leaned much about the area and eateries. We particularily liked our tour guide, he made the tour very memorable. I just can't say enough about both and recommend it to all. |

| We expected to walk more and explore both the Village and SoHo. Our village tour focused mostly on MacDougal street and immediate environs and the SoHo part I think was when we crossed Houston street and walked couple short streets like Sullivan. We wanted to see more of the area and actually walk--there were so many streets to explore! After the tour we were able to walk on our own so the tour did help with our sense of direction. The food was OK at best save for a nice little morsel of smoked food. One Italian store in particular was spoken highly of and we went inside but we didn't get any food. People wanted to stop and buy something but we had to move on. I appreciated the tidbits of information we were offered about the area. I would advise to stay close to the leader so that you can hear everything, as sometimes the cars and trucks were louder than the voice. It was an interesting outing, and it seemed that most people loved it. However, don't be surprised if you want to stop and have lunch after the outing is over. |

| 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. |

| the Tour was well organised. The group had the right size 10 people. Interesting information on the district and the food followed with lots of trying. I w(26) was by far the youngest participant. |

| My sister in law, daughter 11 years old, and myself thoroughly enjoyed the food, the culture and history of SOHO and Greenwich. I would definately do another food tour again when visiting NY. I am a very picky eater and was pleasently surprised at the very delicious variety of ethnic food that I would probably never try. I am craving the Indian roll up, YUMMY Yummy! |

| Our tour started with meeting Rahim. He was very informative and pleasant. The different type of foods we tasted were all great and definitely filled us so we didn't need to get lunch. The quaint restaurants that we were taken into were very unique and seeing the apartment buildings with their fire escapes all reminded me of when I was growing up in the West End of Boston which is no longer there. Of course the prices for rent certainly weren't the same as when I lived in Boston.
I liked how we were only a group of 8 - it made it easier to ask questions, etc. The directions given to me were pretty much right on and the man at the place we started our tour was also very nice. I know when we return next year for our "8th" annual weekend in New York City, we definitely will return to SoHo and have dinner at one of the restaurants that Rahim pointed out to us.
We also did the Chelsea Market tour last year and LOVED Kurt as well. |
