| Even having to trudge through the slushy snow, it was informative and our guide
Rahim ( sorry about the spelling} was so enthusiastic. Had we been in NY longer we would definately have booked one of the other tours, so will recommend your company to any future visitors.
Thanks again. |

| I brought my 16-year-old niece with me. It was a great introduction to a great neighborhood, a place that is part of my own history, and one that I wanted to share with her. The tour gave more information than I could myself. And she could try foods that she might not try if asked to by Mom and Dad. Rashim was very knowledgable about the area, its features and history; about the restaurants, their strong points and specialties; about the food establishments and how they make their products. I was a little unsure if my niece would enjoy the afternoon, and I'm happy to report that she THOROUGHLY enjoyed herself. As did myself! This is not the first Foods of NY tour I've gone on and it certainly won't be my last. |

| I thought that this tour was excellent! All of the food was delicious and there was enough for lunch. It was really nice to hear the history of this area of Manhattan. I would recommend this to anyone, even picky eaters. |

High recommendation. |

| What a treat…to deliciously find our way through an undiscovered (to me) part of the city and dive deep into the culture and history of the neighborhood. Our tour guide was personable, enthusiastic, well-spoken and quite knowledgeable. Each stop was better than the first…a joy for the every sense! Each vendor was hospitable and welcoming.
I have now been on two of your food tours and can't wait to make it a third...
Thanks...Simone Simon |

| Our group enjoyed many aspects of the tour. Our tour guide did a great job both from a food understanding and area historical side. We enjoyed the variety of restaurants and food samplings we had ,and enjoyed revisiting one for a great lunch. The only element that was a challenge is that everywhere we went seemed to be a bit tired and old. We ended up feeling that this was part of the character of the environment and were happy to have had samples and introductions to each place, as we would probably not have ever gone into any of them on our own. Again, the guide was great about the area history as we walked through the tour, making this a very well-rounded tour. I would do it again and try other areas to see the variety offered in those. |

| A great way to learn where the locals go for the best food and sample a bit here and there. Little restaurants that you might otherwise miss or pass up and great food shops plus some history about the area. We loved every minute of the tour and meeting the others in our group. Wish the others had dressed warmer for the weather. It was hard watching them shiver in the cold while we were comfortable during the times we stood around outside listening to our guide Diana's stories. Diana was lots of fun with an awesome story of her own family history and she gave a great printed list so we were able to make notes for future reference. |
