| This is the third tour we've done with Food Tours of New York and it, like the other two, is a truly great way to become acquainted with a neighbourhood in New York. Bari, our guide, was well informed and well organized. She handled the stresses of a very hot day in New York with aplomb. We loved the food and found that the variety and the quantity was just right. It's wonderful to know that small businesses, like those we were introduced to, still exist in the city. May they always do. |

| We loved our guide, Raheen, who was enthusiastic and knowledgeable about our tour of Greenwich and Soho.
The food we tasted was interesting and varied - from Indian to Middle Eastern, amazing cheeses and a terrific pasta shop. We have passed on the tour details to friends who live in New York and recommend they take part - they will learn a lot of about the village, its history, architecture and the people (famous or infamous) who have lived there.
The list we were given was helpful, with full description and address, phone numbers etc - we later went back and had dinner at one of the restaurants (twice) and a drink at one of the small cafes.
A great start to our stay in New York

| While I throughly enjoyed this tour, I would have liked to have spent more time learning more about the food and culinary aspects of the Village. The cultural information was very useful, but I'd have preferred to have stopped at more cafes, restaurants and eateries.
Overall an excellent tour. We look forward to coming back to try another one like it. |

| What a great afternoon. Luckily a few people didn't turn up so the group was smaller than usual, which meant we could hear the very knowledgable guide (Rahim) easier and got seconds of the delicious food samples which were available! Was a good way of introducing folks to an area they had little or no knowledge of. Thanks for an entertaining afternoon. |

| Bari was our guide and she was very knowledgeable not only about the food but about the area, family businesses, etc. Can hardly wait to go back and enjoy the village and stay for a meal or two. Larry & I are a couple of seniors and found the walk very easy, 3 hours seems like a long time but it just flew by, in fact we went a little longer. No lunch was needed when we completed the tour. A most enjoyable experience. Look forward to the next time:

| We really enjoyed the SoHo, Greenwich Village food tour last week...It was a great way to see the area and taste some excellent food at the same time..Our guide was great (sorry, i forget his name)..but he said his family comes from Pakistan..
Anyways...everyone i told said when they come to NY, they will definately book the tour.
Loved the Jamaican Patty and the India Paratha the best!!
Good job! |

| Our guide Bari was very knowlegeable on all aspects of the area covering both the history and the current landmarks/restaurants/delis. We went back to one of the restaurants she recommended that evening for dinner and the food was delicious. We were very impressed with the area covered, the food tasted and the tour generally. Would highly recommend it. |

| The tour included a good overview of the neighbourhoods with respect to history, interesting information, great restaurant suggestions, and most of all - good food to taste. The guides were very friendly and managed to keep the group interested for the duration of the tour. Very enjoyable. I would definately consider another food tour on my next visit to NY. |

| As frequent visitors on short trips to NYC we can't believe we haven't tried this tour before. Although we have touched on these areas in broader past tours, we could have wandered on our own for days without finding all of the wonderful little gems that Barri introduced us to. All of the snacks were fabulous and unusual and she gave us dozens of tips and insights (shopping, comedy clubs, live music and theatre) for future trips to the area to make our time spent there so much more enjoyable. We immediately retraced our steps after the tour to visit some stops not on the tour that she gave us info about . We are already planning a day or two worth of activities in the area to investigate further on our next NYC adventure and our husbands will be wanting to take this tour too . Thank goodness for the informative handout Barri gave us, it's already filled with margin notes from her expertise. Can't wait to try the other food tours. This was a great activity for 2 friends, but would have been enjoyable as a solo or family too...even without perfect weather, we had a great group that was just the right size to enjoy our well paced tour together. Thanks Barri! L&T-Ontario,Canada |
