| Yummy, often non-conventional tastings. Introduces you to unique shops and restaurants that you'd never discover on your own. Highly recommended for foodies and non-foodies alike! |

| My first FoNY tour was the Greenwich Village edition at a time when there was only 1 a week. Since these early days I have done the other tours and this one ranks as one of the best due to a good (sit down) location to start with, a good balance of local history and gossip, a great combination of foods / styles. The weather was also great for November which also helps.
I guess the biggest improvement to the format was the number of venues that were ready and waiting for the party - both with the sample dish but also place settings, cutlery, seats, ability to order drinks (beer / cocktails), etc.
The guide was very good, inclusive and attentive - one of the party had their birthday that day and there was a special treat at the Cuban stop for him.
Strongly recommended. |

| Our Tour leader was Diana and she was great. She had so much knowledge of the area and really enjoyed sharing it. The food was incredible. I hope all the restraunts know how much we appreciated them! I learned not only about the food and the people who prepared it but also about architecture, chess hustlers, pop culture stars, and so much more. It's just a great way to get to know the city and learn more about my favorite thing, food! I'm very anxious to come back for another tour. I would love to have Diana again, she was so good at what she does, Thanks so much |

| My friend and I were very impressed by the quality of this tour. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and presented the tour in an easy-going style. The food choices were also excellent - don't eat beforehand as this is definitely enough food for lunch and plenty to get you through to a later dinner (I would not recommend an early dinner reservation as this tour ends mid afternoon). In fact, consider trying to book one of the restaurants that are visited - we wish we had.
Highly recommended!!! |

| This was the second NYC food tour we've taken. The guide, locale and food were great. A NYC history lesson with frequent stops for gormet food samples along the way. We'll be taking another tour on our next visit. |

| Our group was very impressed with the tour, the guide and the food. We ended up going back to Bellavitae for dinner that night. I had the pork chop, some had the young chicken that was talked about during our tour stop. We are already planning which tour to take next time we are in the city. |

| The guide was excellent...took care of everybody, gave interesting commentaries delivered with a clear, resonant voice. He appeared to have a genuine interest in his work and in the area and places we toured.
There was a good balance between the food and culture aspects of the tour. The food was interesting.
Next time I'm in NYC I would go back on my own to visit the food places we toured. |

| The tour was great. Our guide not only knew the history of the area and the restaurants, but she was a local who had her own history in the neighborhood and was able to share great insights about the establishments we visited. She made sure everyone was able to enjoy the tour regardless of age or mobility level. Of course the food was fantastic, and while sufficient from a quantity standpoint, left us wanting more from a taste standpoint! My wife and I plan to try another tour the next time we are in NYC. If you are looking for a unique way to explore the city, there isn't a tastier way to do it. Cheers! JP & Julia |
