| This is a great tour, with lots of interesting information going way beyond food that you could not get out of a guidebook! I have already revisited three of the spots on the tour and plan to take friends to many more. Highly recommended not only for tourists, but also for locals or people who just moved into the neighborhood. You will learn about the history of the area as well as discover some off-the-beaten path things to do (jazz and comedy clubs) and plenty of delicious places to eat. |

| This is the 3rd tour I have done with Foods of NY. This was the Soho and Central Village tour. Great information, awesome tastings, knowledgeable guide! Words can't do it justice, you should go - any of their tours are worth it!!! I booked as soon as I saw they added another tour. I hope they will add a fourth! |

| hi,
it was raining on the day I made the tour, but we got long ponchos and so it was really okay.
The tour was interesting, you get to know different shops, restaurants and bars and also where people had been living.
The snacks are delicious and afterwards you do not need to buy anything, because you are full.
I would recommend to eat something for breakfast, because the quantity of food you get is like a normal lunch (european way) |

| We had an amazing time. We truly wished the skies hadn't opened up and poured, because we know had wonderful Washington Square would've been in the sunshine, but the tastings were delicious, and Barri was so knowledgable! |

| We did not know what to expect on this food tour - having done nothing like it before .... we went into it with some trepidation. But the whole tour, the information, the style, the enthusiasm (to name but a few) made it a great experience. We had been to NYC before but, now feel like we really know a small corner in a hell of a lot of detail and can recommend to our British friends who come to visit your city. Great Stuff!! |

| This tour comes highly recommended by a native New Yorker who now lives in Virginia. There was a good mix of information both cultural, historical, as well as excellent food tastings from select locations along the way. The informaton on rest-
aurants, different shops , and specific entertainment spots will serve as a good resource for me when I return to Central Village and Soho in the future. The guide was both personable and knowledgeable and set a comfortable pace for all on this tour.I also liked the fact that we were given written informaton on the spots visited and the tour had a maximum of 16 people which made it easy to keep up with the guide and ask questoins. In a few short hours I felt that I really got to know this area and will be more at ease navigating this section of N.Y. and making better restaurant & eatery choices when I do frequent this area again. |

| My boyfriend and I are from New Jersey and decided to head into the city for the day. I was looking up a tour we could take and my parents recommended a Food and Culture Tour. This experience was wonderful! It was one of the hottest days of the year, and we still had an excellent time together. Learning about the culture of NY and sampling food from various places were highlights from this trip. I highly recommend this tour to anyone. I can't wait to do another food tour of NY! |

| Enjoyed the different locations we visited. Probably would not have sampled many of these foods on my own. Would likely revisit some, but not all. Still, it was good to have the exposure and the background. Our guide was very knowledgeable and pleasant.
I would recommend this to friends who have already experienced Chelsea Food Market or the Original Greenwich Village tour.
Thank you. |

| We really enjoyed our tour. We have been wanting to do this for the past few years & were not disappointed! The tasting was great but the weather was hot! There is something for everyone, although everyone will not enjoy everything. I personally love that area of New York best & wanted to show my friend so it was a good way to find out more information & history of Soho & Greenwich, as well as experience some very different food. I told a travel agent friend of mine to suggest it to her customers who intend to visit New York. It would have been nice to have time to stop for a drink along the way (at our cost), especially in the summer. Our guide was great! Thanks for a great time. |

| there is a big gap between the first tastings and the last 4. otherwise this was very informative. |
