Nolita/NoHo Food & Culture Tour

This was my second food tour with this group in NYC. They were both great, very interesting, fun and great food. The best thing is that you get to really slow down and get to know a part of the city so much better than if you were just walking around on your own. I know some great places to go back and dine at . I want to participate in another tour soon! Our guide was just fabulous and she really made the tour come alive!

We had a fun time with wonderful tour guide Annie. She personalized the tour for each participant., so much so that the youngest on the tour - an 8-year old girl - to the oldest - a 71-year old man - all agreed that they liked "everything" about the tour. Annie was very knowledgeable. I grew up in Brooklyn and have read much about the history of the areas we toured but learned new facts and definitely, new stories. We returned for dinner with friends to one of the restaurants we visited.

I've been on three of the tours offered by Foods of NY. All were great, but the Nolita/NoHo one was especially good. Anny, our tour guide, was enthusiastic about the restaurants and knowledgeable about the neighborhood. Ricotta on toad at The Smile and pizza at Emporio were our favourites! We learned a lot, met some nice people and had a really pleasant time. It was just the right pace, too.

My Mom and I have been on almost all of the Foods of NY Tours (with the exception of the Chinatown tour) and I have to say Annie was the best tour guide out of all of the them. She was exceptional! She is so personable and remembered everyone's names upon meeting us only once! She was also so informative about the history and area. What an excellent tour! I'll be recommending my family and friends who visit NYC to this tour! :) Thanks again Annie!

It was lovely to have a guide that was so passionate of the area but also shared her own personal history of living in Nolita. Thank you Anny! We loved the choice of establishments (both food and non-food!). Many had a retro or vintage feel to them which was very New York and we loved it. I would speak more about the food but I don't want to give away too much! I would recommend this tour to anyone!

Guide was AWESOME! Selection of tasting shops varied.... never boring.....can't say which is the best---ALL were awesome. Perfect event for older children.... my 17 year old son loved it. This is my 4th food tour (1st in NYC). This tour only made me want to go on another because it was so outstanding! Positively NOTHING bad to say.

This is the second time I've taken the NOHO/Nolita tour. My 15 year-old daughter came with me this time and she loved it just as much as my friend and I did back in December. Anny is great--friendly, fun, and informative; and she makes a real effort to talk with each group of people individually at least once or twice on the tour. I think this is a very nice personal touch. I highly recommend this tour. Try to take it early in your visit so you can go back to the places whose tastings you enjoyed.

Enjoyed the tour very much. Great neighborhood, wonderful history and good food choices. Annie a wonderful tour guide made the day even better.

I had a wonderful time mainly because the tour conductor (Annie) was so well-informed and had such a great personality. She made all the difference. The tour was the highlight of my weekend in NYC and I will be sure to go on another tour next time I am in the Big Apple. I am also recommending this tour to everyone who is planning a trip to NYC.

Annie, our guide, was really great! She gave us a lot of information, looked after us, entertained us with funny stories, charmed us and even sang for us. Food was great, Nolita has lots of character and we had fun! Thank you, Annie!
