| Great experience! Enthusiastic tour guide with plenty of stories about Greenwich and SoHo. Even though I have lived in the area for the past year, I learnt (and tasted!) many new things and will definitely be returning to some of the restaurants and eateries visited. |

| We did foodsofny's other Greenwich Village tour in March and decided to get a hotel in Greenwich just because of that... This tour didn't disappoint. Greenwich isn't that big but the other tour and this one don't cross paths at all. We'll need to visit Greenwich for several weeks just to exhaust the list of amazing restaurants they gave us.
The tour guides are enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The food is great. And it's enough to be lunch... definitely show up with an empty stomach.
The best part is the little booklet they give you for later. You can focus on what the guide is saying and know that you'll have all the addresses/details of the restaurants he mentions (and you taste).
After both tours we booked dinner at one of the restaurants on the tour (after a few hours in a pub to give our stomachs a break). I'd recommend doing the same. |

| My family was visiting NYC for the first time and after several days of "classic" tourist activities, I booked all of us for the Central Village/ Soho Walking Tour. It was a highlight of their trip. They all felt that they got a much more authentic and interesting taste of NYC than any of the other sites they waited in line for. Our guide, Rashim, was entertaining and full of fun trivia. The food was delicious and the history of the village fascinating. Plus, walking through the village mid-day we had many NYC characters milling about from dogs dressed in clothes to random know-it-alls that wanted to add their own impromptu tidbits to Rashim's tour. To me, all of those layers are part of what makes the city so unique and special.
I have lived in the city for 6 years and it is also one of my favorite activities I've done to date. "Did you know..." has peppered my conversations with all of my "local" friends and clients since the tour. I have also been restaurant recommender extraordinaire since the tour sending friends to various fun spots and romantic spots that we toured through.
I highly recommend this tour to visitors and locals alike and can't wait for more company to take on another one soon. |

| We had a great time wandering around the village - hearing some history and eating good food. I am a local so knew the lay of the land, but still LOVED finding new places to eat. |

Perfect view of the central Village!

| I attended the SoHo tour w/several friends a few weeks ago. It was a nice way to explore a part of the city that I didn't know much about and enjoy some diverse, local cuisine as well. I would especially recommend this tour to those that will be spending some time in that part of the city to get ideas abt places to eat during their visit. All food was excellent! Susan, our guide was very pleasant. I think the tour could benefit from some add'l historical info abt the buildings and more facts abt the area. I would recommend the tour to others. Also, the Food Tours staff was great and very accommodating to our needs that day. |

| the guide was terrific - quite knowledgeable - and the food was wonderful. we even went back for dinner at one of the eateries; it was so good we had to have more. just wish there were more opportunities to sit down while eating, and wish the guide didn't think every place was "the best" - that seemed more like a marketing tool than a real opinion. but i recommend it highly and will go on other tours when i return to nyc. |

| Our tour was in Oct 2008 with Rahim. The whole experience was amazing from our first meeting right through to the end of the tour. Rahim was extrememly knowledgeable about the village and the different sites and I found the tour informative and the food selections to be excellent and varied. I highly recommend this tour and would love to go back to New York to try to other tours offered. |

| I thoroughly enjoyed the Central Village/SoHo Food and Culture Tour. It was a perfect fall afternoon. The sights and the vibe in this part of the city are great. I love that it is such an ethically diverse area. I tasted so many delicious foods that I have never even heard of. The tour guide was very informed. I would definitely recommend this tour. |
