The Insider's Little Italy

| A delightful afternoon spent with vivacious, knowledgeable guide, Addie Tomei. She took us to a whole series of amazing markets where we were treated like one of the family and urged to sample, sample, sample! I have spent a considerable amount of time in Italy, and at times, this little triangle of the Bronx felt more Italian than Italy with Italian music and banter filling the air. We concluded our tour with a lunch at Roberto's that I shall never forget. My advice to anyone interested in Italian food and culture--Do not miss this opportunity! It will be a highlight of your visit to New York. | ||||||

A great tour.

| As I haven't ventured far out of midtown on my visits, this tour provided me great history and insight into the local neighborhoods that I wouldn't have walked through by myself, simply due to lack of familiarity. The history and food breaks were wonderful, but make sure to wear comfortable shoes, as the walking pace is quite fast. | ||||||

Awesome...Not enough words to describe.

| This tour was one of the best highlights of our New York trip. My girlfriend and I are from Wisconsin, and went along with my friends wife, who just recently move to New York. All three of us just loved the tour. Tastings in the bakery and deli were very neat. Had some of the best food imaginable. It's touted more as a food tour, but my girlfriend is not as much into food as I am, but was elated by the information and sights with the "non-food" attractions along the tour. Tour guides were just amazing. Very knowledgeable, and so fun to be with. I can't wait to go back to try some of the other tours. There may be cheaper tours available from other companies, but I'm sure they can't compare to this one as far as what is included. In my opinion, Savory Sojourns was worth every penny. Highly recommended. | ||||||

| We had a terrific experience walking all over the town. Our knowledgeable guide pointed out several very interesting facts and showed us part of little Italy we had never seen. The tour was very flexible and we were free to spend more time at the places we really enjoyed (the chocolate shop!) and speed through others. I will certainly go on another tour with this vendor. | ||||||

| Savory Sojourns Little Italy tour was over the top fun. My friend and I were shown things that would of been missed had we been on our own. Addie's warm friendly way made a great first impression of the big city. We will be back. | ||||||

| Addie is amazing, and always adds so much to the neighborhood with her extensive knowledge of New York and her unbridled enthusiasm for everything that has to do with food and eating. Savory Sojourns are always a feast, and this one no less: Brooklyn Heights & Atlantic Avenue are especially fascinating in how different they are both from each other and from similar areas in Manhattan. I'd suggest doing the Chinatown or Greenwich Village tour first if you're unfamiliar with New York, but if you're curious about Brooklyn or need something new to do with family or friends who've been here before, check out this tour! (Afterwards, I suggest walking down Smith Street, the main drag of hip Carroll Gardens, and then taking a long and lovely walk down Union Street across up-and-coming Gowanus and into historic Park Slope and the incredible Prospect Park. Make a Brooklyn Day of it!) | ||||||

| What a gem of a tour! With the help of the wonderful and knowledgeable Addie I was able to discover and sample some wonderful foods of New York that I would never have found (even if I had a guidebook!) Addie was able to show me an area that was very interesting and help source out some food that I had been searching for. Next time I'm in New York I'll certainly would go on another tour with Addie and would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants a tour that is flexible and fun! | ||||||

| I took my visiting parents on the tour, and we all had a wonderful time. The Culinary Walk through Italian Greenwich Village was a nice balance of neighborhood history and culinary delights. We learned about several architecturally and historically significant buildings, visited several wonderful specialty shops (and tasted their wares - yum!), and enjoyed a delicious lunch. Addie was absolutely delightful and very knowledgeable about both the area and its establishments. | ||||||

| My friend and I were looking for something fun and different to do while in New York. We decided on a tour through Savory Sojourns. We did the Arthur Avenue tour of Little Italy in the Bronx with Addie Tomei and Aida. What a great day we had. This tour made you feel like you were in Italy. Mike's deli was great watching them make mozarella cheese and the lunch at Roberto's was fabulous. Addie and Aida were great and I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the "Real Little Italy in New York". Brenda Hotham | ||||||

| This tour was absolutely amazing. It went far beyond anything I expected and was certainly worth three times what I paid for the ticket. Addie was personable, knowledgeable, funny and enthusiastic. By the end of the tour, she made everyone feel as if we were all old friends and she is definately someone you would like to see again and have coffee with. I am a pastry chef in Charleston, SC and food is my life's passion. I learned so much on this tour and tasted and experienced a quality and product that I had not seen before. Every vendor we visited was polite, informative and genuinely excited to have us there and share their craft. I would definately take this tour again and have recommended it to all of my friends. It was by far the highlight of my trip to New York. Thank You Addie. Thank You Savory Sojourns. | ||||||

I'd do it again, next time I visit NYC.

| After taking this tour, I felt like a New Yorker even though I'm from Boston!!! Savory Sojourns gave you the inside look at Greenwich Village and took us to places I would probably have never ventured. Our cooking lesson was hands on which I enjoyed very much. You didn't just observe...........you participated, which made it that much more fun. Would definitely go on another Savory Sojourns tour. | ||||||

| Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area and the stores that were visited. There is a nice variety of places to see and you are never rushed. The cooking class is a great way to finish off the trip. The instructor is very easy to get along with and the recipes are designed for simplicity and taste. All in all a very nice time that I would recommend to anyone wanting to explore the culinary side of NY. | ||||||

| This was a delightful tour. Addie is a superb guide--knows her stuff & she is articulate, humorous, well organized, & classy (as befits the very best kind of native New Yorker). We thoroughly enjoyed our day with her in Bronx's Little Italy and would enthusiastically endorse Savory Sojurns Tours to others. Well done & thanks! Jean & Tom Penny, St. Augustine, FL. | ||||||

Fantastic insight into foodie New York!

| I thoroughly enjoyed the walking / cooking tour of Greenwich Village that I did with Addie in April 2006. As a visitor from Australia, it gave me the opportunity to visit some fantastic local produce stores in Greenwich Village and be guided by Addie, who has excellent local knowledge. If I had to pick a highlight from a day of highlights, it would be the fresh mozzarella (made on the premises) at Joe's Dairy. It was truly delicious and made me wish it was in my neighbourhood! The cooking class was also very good - it was hands on, but not arduous, and at the end we got to eat the results which were delicious. Chef Paul was very knowledgable and helpful and a good instructor. I would highly recommend doing a Savoury Sojourn with Addie - she is an extremely knowledgable guide and a charming host. I would love to return to NY and do another tour with Savoury Sojourns as it was a highlight of my trip. | ||||||
