Lotta Good Info, Food & Fun

Susan, our guide for the Greenwich-SoHo tour, was topnotch, sharing not just information on restaurants & menus, but about the neighborhood, local clubs, the people in the area, architecture, history, how things have evolved over the years. And, ah, the tastings...they were excellent choices and the portions were so generous. Glad we didn't eat lunch beforehand. It's hard to pick out a favorite part of the tour, but we loved the empanadas at Cuba (on Thompson) so much that we went back for lunch the next day and had more of them (also try their serrano ham croquettes - yum). We didn't do as much walking as I'd expected (which was fine, since we'd already put in many miles during the morning), but instead stayed within about a six square block area. There is a fair amount of standing, but also occasional opportunities to sit for a minute, plus bathroom breaks along the way. I would feel very comfortable revisiting the Greenwich area in the future and finding some great places to eat. Thanks, from one Susan to another

We were a group of 11 people who came to NY to celebrate a friend's 40th birthday. We wanted to do something a little different to accomodate a lot of different ages. We did the central village/soho tour. We learned a ton about the area. Our tour guide, Susan, really filled us in on a lot of the history of the area. Overall, we liked almost all the food. The spaghetti bolognese at Monte's was fabulous. We thought the dishes served at Cuba were fantastic!! The chocolate pear tart, homemade mozzerella, and homemade pepperoni were spectacular. There were mixed feelings about the potato wrap from Indian Bread. Some thought it was a little too spicy. However, we were lucky enough to be there when some fresh bread came out of the oven and that was superb!!! The only food that none of us liked was the "helluva" (I know I spelled that wrong!). It was sesame seeds with honey which formed a small piece of "candy." Honestly, not one of us liked it. Overall, the tour gave us a great day and we learned a ton. There was A LOT of food offered and none of us were hungry for dinner. Word to the wise, don't eat a lot before you go. You really get a nice amount of food on the tour.

Our tour guide, Raheem, was a fountain in information. He knew about not only the food but the history of the area. That was an added delight and very informative. Also, everything we tried was delish!

3. tour with Foods of NY

For the last 3 years I have tried these tours, personally I mostly liked Greenwich (for outdoor) and then secondly Chelsea market (mostly indoor). This tour was ok but compared to the two others I was a bit disapointed, there was enough food but to much of the same category and too much to eat the same place. Food was ok but not as exciting as the two others in my personal opionion, maybe it's better to try this first and then the others afterwards. Kind Regards from Eriksen, Cph.

Our Tour guide made the tour, he was so knowledgeable and gave so much history of the area, buildings and people who lived there. I think I would have liked more tastings as I have had on other tours with you. But it was a wonderful experience and I would want the same guide again
