A great neighborhood orientation A Culinary Walk Through Italian Greenwich Village
Sat, Apr 5, 08 10:00 AM	nessjm	Female	30-39	Unspecified	Unspecified
Aida is an excellent tour guide. A fun, small group of people--I did not envy the other tour groups we ran into with 30+ people! Excellent sampling of what Greenwich Village has to offer in its markets and shops. A very good pace for a tour. Four hours flew by. Although it was billed as an architecture and culinary tour, it definitely skewed to the culinary destinations--which was perfect for my tastes, but may not meet others' expectations. I'm enjoying all my tasty souvenirs, and planning for my next visit to the city with all the educational materials I received.
Fun and informative but not quite what I expected Food and Gallery Tour of Brooklyn's DUMBO
Sat, Nov 10, 07 10:00 AM	thylacine	Male	40-49	Unspecified	Unspecified
The walk was informative, friendly and fun, mainly thanks to our guide Eileen who was a talkative local. However there really was very little walking, we missed the galleries (which had been a signifcant part of my reason for doing the tour) and the water taxi was not available on the day. To me these things were not critical as I had time to go and see the galleries afterwards, but they would prevent me from recommending the tour.
Mutli Ethnic Tour Hell's Kitchen- Savory Sojourns Multi-Ethnic Food Tour of Hell's Kitchen

Addie gave us a look at a peice of New York that we would never been able to expereince on our own. Not only were we able to "taste our way" through the neighborhood, Addie's knowledge and stories about the area added greatly to our New York experience. We are anxious to return and go on a few more "savory sojourns" with Addie. This is a MUST DO- for out of towners AND locals! Ellyn & Kenney
I'd do it again, next time I visit NYC. Greenwich Village Cooking and Shopping Tour

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.
Don't miss this tour if you love Italian food! A Culinary Walk Through Italian Greenwich Village
Thu, Jun 18 10:00 AM	Juligrl	Female	60-69	Local	Group of Friends
What a great delicious tasting tour of Greenwich Village! Our guide, Addie Tomei, makes a fun & lively hostess for this historical "foodie" walking tour of Greenwich Village. We tasted, smelled, and sated our visual senses, too, visiting local cheese and pasta shops and interesting businesses along the way. Even the pouring rain couldn't dampen our spirits and we finished off with a wonderful lunch in a trendy restaurant. Will definitely tour another neighborhood w/Addie's company, Savory Sojourns, when we return to NYC!
Excellent Tour and Foods Combination Food Tour of SoHo and Little Italy

Addie was wonderful as was the variety of foods eaten and places eaten. At $160, it is slightly pricely.
A Warm, Wonderful, Delicious Day A Culinary Walk Through Italian Greenwich Village
Wed, May 14, 08 10:00 AM	TaraNick	Female	40-49	Local	Group of Friends
We really enjoyed this tour- Ms. Tomei brought new insights into the Village to native New Yorkers- the tasting stops were delicious, the mini-history lessons enlightening, and lunch was wonderful. Unlike some tours, all the vendors were happy to see us (probably due to our small group size and their long-standing relationship with our 'leader') Save up your $$$ and sign up- you will not be disappointed!
An unforgettable day!! A Culinary Walk Through Italian Greenwich Village
Fri, May 9, 08 10:00 AM	mweinberg	Male	30-39	Local	Couple on a Date
As a birthday treat for my wife, I surprised her with a culinary walking tour of Greenwich Village. We met Addie and the rest of the group in an authentic Italian coffee shop in the Village where we enjoyed a delicious pastry and outstanding coffee. Addie described the itinerary for the day and we were off. The day could not have gone any better. Addie is very warm and friendly. As importantly, she is extremely knowledgeable, both about the history of the island and about the culinary treasures that are available along the way. As local Manhattanites we were fascinated by the gems that were revealed to us! From the best Mozzarella that we have ever tried (freshly made on the premises) to un-pasteurized honey that was imported from Mexico, the many tasting that we enjoyed along the way were all very tasty and a lot of fun. According to my wife - this was the best birthday surprise ever. I had a blast, and can't wait to go on my next tour with Savory Sojourn!!!
good show and enthusiastic tour guide Combination Food Tour of SoHo and Little Italy
Fri, Dec 28, 07 9:30 AM	hokiehardy	Male	70+	Local	Individual
The group was a perfect size, including the guide, 7 in number. This allowed for good questions, few delays along the way and much interest. The guide was interested in pleasing and was delightfully informative. The food places we stopped at were definitely New York and the service and food were excellent. Especially good was the restaurant in Little Italy, Cortile, on Mulberry Street. It was the last stop on the tour and it left everyone well satisfied and enthusiastic about returning to NY real soon. Being a retired New Yorker, and seeing the joy the tour brought to the out-of-towners, it made me want to be a tour guide at some point down the road. Happy New Year!! Don't hesitate to put this tour(s) on your itinerary when in NYC.
Visit Italy in the Bronx Culinary Tour of the Bronx's Little Italy
Sat, Oct 27, 07 9:45 AM	rcieri	Male	40-49	Local	Family Without Children
The tour included visits to Italian specialities stores within a few blocks, and ended with a meal at a very scenic restaurant named Zero, Otto Nove. Several of the visits included a talk with the owner or free samples. My favorite part was the visit to the Terranova Bakery and the opportunity to see the brick ovens heated by coal.

Great time! Combination Food Tour of SoHo and Little Italy
Sat, May 19, 07 9:30 AM	mumph39	Female	40-49	Local	Group of Friends
What a wonderful tour! My friend and I come into NYC a lot. We wanted to familiarize ourselves with different parts of Manhattan. We chose the Soho/Little Italy tour since we didn't know the area well. We enjoyed learning about the history of the area and going into the various shops. The places we toured were varied from a Chinese market to a Spanish deli and an unbelievably delicious chocolate shop! Not to mention the italian specialty shops and lunch... wow! what a meal. Our guide Eileen was friendly and knowledgeable. She felt like a friend you've known your whole life by tours end! Our group was small and the people friendly. I would recommend this tour to everyone. I can't wait to do another.
The Bronx's Little Italy is Savory! Culinary Tour of the Bronx's Little Italy

As returning Savory Sojourns enthusiasts, my mother and I had yet another wonderful experience with Addie Tomei--this time on her tasty and informative tour of the Bronx's Arthur Avenue. Addie took us to the best places to shop and eat in the real Little Italy--I now feel like an "insider." Highly suggested tour. Mille grazie, Addie! Ci vediamo!

Fun But Overpriced Combination Food Tour of SoHo and Little Italy
Thu, Sep 28, 06 10:00 AM	vpeters	Female	50-59	Local	Other
The tour was enjoyable, and lunch was great, but thought it was a bit expensive for what we got. Addie is knowledgeable, interesting and good at what she does, but the stops at the culinary shops (i.e. Sur La Table & Dean & DeLucca) were too short to really be of any value. The Italian & Spanish deli stops were very good, as was the chocolate shop, and the samples were good. Lunch was delicious and plentiful. A fun day but a bit overpriced for what it was. Cut the price to $100 per person and you'd have a true winner!
