| 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 |

| My husband and I are "foodies" and love to try out new foods and new places. We have been in NYC many times, but tended to stick to the "touristy" areas. We are very glad we tried something different and would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to learn about other areas of NYC.
Barrie was our guide, she is very knowledgeable about the area and the many great places to eat in Greenwich Village. She made the tour enjoyable for all of us. The city is always very noisy and Barrie could always be heard, even with tour buses going by.
Both my husband and I remarked afterward that one of the best parts of the tour was that we didn't try "usual" types of foods. Each little tidbit was great, from the cupcake as a starter to the yogurt to finish. My favorite was the smoked mozarella -- to die for!
We are already trying to find time to try one of the other two tours offered.

| Had a fantastc time on our trip of Soho and Greenwich Village. Tastings were great and the information on the local restaurants very useful. We particularly enjoyed the historical aspect of the tour which was a pleasant surprise. |

| This is the second tour my wife and I have enjoyed with your company. We had the opportunity to tour the West Village - along Bleeker west of 6th - a couple of years ago and this tour east of 6th and South of Houston. The guides have been enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and fun. The tastings coupled with the history and stories make an unbeatable combination. No doubt we will continue to hear the Village calling us and will continue to come back on our trips to New York. |

| This was my 3rd Zerve walking tour and they all have been excellent. The guides are very knowledgeable, pleasant and you can tell that they love their job. My family and I love hearing about the history of one of the greatest cities in the world. Highly recommend these walking tours for locals and tourist alike. |

| I've now done all three of the Foods of New York tours and have never regretted any of them. I will say that of the three, this was my least favorite and I would recommend one of the other two tours if you've only got the time for one. But if you can, do all three! They're great for native New Yorkers and tourists alike. I liked the history on the Greenwich Village tour the most and the food on the Chelsea Market tour the most. But the Soho tour is also perfectly delightful. |

| We had a great time. This is a true walking tour of the area which gives history and details about the area in addition to the culinary part. For the food stops, we expected to go inside and sit down to taste the food and experience the cuisine; however, all of the food was served as we were standing outside on the sidewalk. Admitedly, most of the stops did not have an inside to sit in anyway. This was just unexpected, but didn't really cut down on the quality of the tour. |

| My wife and I could not express in words how much fun, food, information and history we had and absorbed during this tour. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and fun. We are presently talking about our next trip to New York City, and will be taking another tour and bringing friends.
Thank You So Very Much |
