Sample tasty treats from ethnic, old-school eateries in two distinct areas - one colorful and exciting, the other surprisingly quaint.

Deliciously Different

We loved the tour ... a great, different way to see Greenwich Village and Soho. A fun way to try out different ethnic restaurants and learn some of the local lore at the same time. We would have never found these places on our own but will definitely go back next time we visit. P.S. Rahim was an awesome guide!

We were a group of 15 co-workers on our annual summer outing. We took this tour because it was something different from what we usually do, but we had no idea of what to expect. It was WONDERFUL! It was such fun to be "tourists" in our own city. In fact, many members of the group are talking about doing it again with their family and friends. First of all, our tour guide Barri was interesting and informative. Secondly, the food was delicious. Book this tour with confidence. You will NOT be disappointed in any way. The value was excellent. The delight of the senses was priceless.

We had a basic idea of what the tour would be but it was much more than expected. Susan was a great guide that not only brought us to great food but also told us the history of the area which we did not expect.

The tasting portion of this tour gave me a great overview of where I'll want to return for a full meal -- or other entertainment. The food was all degrees of excellent. My faves were the smoked mozarella at Joe's Dairy and the unda bhurji pav at Masala Times. The cultural portion of the tour gave me insight into a fascinating neighborhood I've been hearing about all my life but, regretfully until now, had never seen. Our guide Raheem, though, is what made the entire package a real treat. He's knowledgeable and personable--a real character who introduced us to many other neighborhood characters.

I have been traveling often to New York over the past 30 years. OK you started these tours in 1999... I missed this for 11 years! Duh me! Our guide (Diana?) was amazing, she answered all the questions, she is funny and like us... she likes food! One of the best ways to know more about New York City and I am not only talking about the food! And talking about the food, that was a yummy tour! Two thumbs up and merci beaucoup!

Can't Wait To Do Another Tour!

I went on the Central Village & a bit of SoHO tour with 2 friends & we had a fantastic time. Not only was the food delicious, but we were stuffed by the end. Our tour guide, Susan, was the perfect tour guide. She was informative with a sense of humor & was very knowledgable about both the area & the foods we were eating. I actually thought I did not like Indian food but I absolutely loved the food chosen for us at the Indian restaurant & will definitely try it again. I have been telling all my friends what a great time we had & we're already making plans to do another tour in the fall.

The information about the area was very interesting and informative. We have been vacationing in NYC for 4 years and this tour was the highlight of our visit. The guide was excellent and we loved all the food we were able to sample along the tour. We also plan to visit some of the eating establishments next year when we visit the city. We are planning on taking another food walking tour next summer because our experience was fantastic! I would recommend this tour of Central Village and SoHo to everyone.
