| This tour was one of the highlights of our trip to NYC. The food provided on the tour was all very delicious. We ate, in order: (1) a slice of Brooklyn-style pizza from Joe's Famous Pizza; (2) soppresata, a selection of cheeses, olives and pickles from Murray's Cheese Shop; (3) 3-Cheese Macaroni & Cheese from Home Restaurant; (4) a couple of chocolates from Aphrodesia; (5) BBQ vegetarian "pork" with fried rice, gyoza and seaweed salad from Soy & Sake; (6) A chocolate toffee cookie from Milk and Cookies; (7) a slice of pizza from Bleecker Street Pizza; (8) cannoli from Rocco's pastry shop. Some previous reviews said they didn't feel that they ate enough - I could barely stuff any more in by the end of the tour and I'm not a small-plate person. Barri, our tour guide, had incredible knowledge of the area and we covered a reasonable amount of ground over the 3 hour tour. If we hadn't been headed to the airport right after the tour, we definitely would have picked one of the restaurants for a meal later in our trip. The value of the tour in terms of the amount and variety of food we ate and the historic insights given to the neighbourhood was excellent.
Next time we're in New York, we're keen to do another Foods of NY walking tour! |

| We had a great time. Everything was perfectly spaced. The thought of eating and walking for 3 hours was a little frightening at first. But we really enjoyed ourselves. The food was great and we walked and sat just enough. Everyone in our group feels the same way. We cant wait to go back and check out another tour. I also recommended it to my friend who is planning something for her book club and she seemed very interested in this tour for them. My other family members are also future customers. |

| We met our wonderful Tour Guide, Barri, along with the rest of the group at around noon and then the fun began. I didn't know what to expect, having never taken a walking tour in NYC before. I was very pleasantly surprised. Barri is a wealth of knowledge and she made the afternoon a really enjoyable time. The tour ran so smoothly and the food was delicious. I have already recommended this tour to some friends and look forward to taking another one. |

| My husband and I have been in this area of NY and not realized the wealth and diversity of shops, homes and best of all restaurants!!! Our tour guide Barri was very knowledgeable regarding the area. The food was fablous! This will give us a chance to try new restaurants without any hesitation.
