| A lot more fun and entertaining than going out to lunch! We had plenty to eat, learned a lot, and picked up ideas for places to return to sometime.
Thank you. We had a great time. |

| Our tour guide, Raheem, was awesome! He knew SO much about the area and had the greatest personality. I got the best pictures, met the nicest people, and ate the most amazing food. I even took notes so I could remember all the stories about the locations and will be ordering food over the net from some of the stops! If (when) I return to NYC, I will definitely go revisit many of the places we went. In addition, I will definitely sign up for your other tours! |

| Was a nice tour, great variety, good bits of history from the guide. Loved the meeting place (great bartender). Would recommend shortening the tour by 30 mins to an hour. The only criticism I have was the one stop included a long visit to one restaurant but no food was available to try; it was a beautiful establishment and the description of the food was fabulous, then quite a let down when we could not sample. |

| It was a well organized trip. Raheed was informative on the area as well as the restaurants. We would request his group again. The food was all very ethic and delicious. A well planned trip....only we wished we could have tasted those cupcakes!!1 |

| Our guide, Raheem (sp?) was articulate, knowledgeable and passionate about the foods, business owners, and stories behind the sites we visited. Very interesting, and generous sampling of a number of foods. Ample opportunites to sit, and visit rest rooms; very comfortable 3 hours. Would recommend this to anyone! |

| Good food in a variety of places, although it would have been nice to actually eat something in more of the places we visited. Our tour guide was nice and knowledgeable, but at some points I wanted the tour to be geared more towards locals than tourists. |

| I have now participated in two different NY food tours. Both were a lot of fun!! I must say the food on the Central Village tour was excellent. Definitely made me want to go back to almost all the restaurants we stopped at. My only comment was about one restaurant that we didn't receive a tasting. It was a new one on the tour and they promoted the place wonderfully... I definitely want to eat there, but a tasting would have made it a bit better... would have made my decision to return just a bit more definite.
Thanks for a wonderful day! |

| Raheem did a WONDERFUL job making our group feel what it was like to have lived decades past in this gem of an area. He really knew his stuff! Great food samplings, beautiful old buildings and businesses, some of which are more than 100 years old, historical facts about the area all combined for a first rate adventure. After our legs were walked off, our group of friends and another couple from the group, visiting from England, bellied up to the bar at the Caffe del Marre where Lenworth the bartender entertained us with special drink concoctions and lively banter. We all felt totally at home in this neighborhood! Our group lives on Long Island and are only now getting to spread our wings and explore this wonderful city! Foodsofny is the way to go! We haven't been disappointed in any tour yet! We already have plans to come back and eat at several of the restaurants and shop for some of the great food products we tasted! |

| My friend and I visit the city several times a year, always seeing a show and shopping. This time we decided to do something different and we were wonderfully surprised at how much we enjoyed our walking tour of the Village and Soho. Our guide was extremely knowledgable and made the tour a lot of fun. We can't wait to do the other walking tours on our future visits to NYC. |
