A great birthday present for my husband! Arthur Avenue Walkabout

Susan provided an amazing morning for my group. Her insightful commentary, funny anecdotes, great local knowledge - not to mention her special relationship with all the key restaurants and vendors - made it a memorable outing. She will absolutely tailoring her stops and tastings to your special interests. Whether you're a local or an out-of-towner you'll enjoy this tour.
Nice sample of knitting shops Knitting Crawl Walkabout

The list of shops was nice to get. We visited three really nice shops (including one workshop--Habu--that was really special) and two that weren't that good. Susan is open to suggestions, so, if you have some specific wishes, let her know!. I was surprised that she apparent;ly hadn't visited some of the shops for awhile, since one was closed and one had very poor stock.
Very Helpful City Island Walkabout

I went with a group for a project we're doing on the island. The tour was quite informative and helped us greatly. Susan is a well-informed and charismatic tour guide. I highly recommend the tour.

A very entertaining day in New York for a knitter from Baltimore!
great knitting finds Knitting Crawl Walkabout

i was interested in finding new knitting shops and that's just what we did. The group was all strangers to me but all very friendly and easy going. The tour leader was very personable and helpful and I would certainly think about going again on another tour with her. i am interested in returning on my own to some of the pllaces she took us.

Christmas gift for my wife Knitting Crawl Walkabout
Fri, May 22 10:30 AM	marsha46	Male	60-69	Domestic Tourist(s)	Family Without Children
The knitting tour was a gift from me to my wife this past Christmas. I offered to go along to carry the packages! - It turned out to be a highlight of our trip to the City. Susan, our guide, took us from shop to shop and provided us with all kinds of information regarding the neighborhoods, history, etc. in between. We were able to see parts of the city that we would never have found on our own, not to mention the shops that are hidden away on the upper floors of the buildings. It was really a fantastic experience. We will arrange for another tour with Susan when we return to NYC.
Thoroughly enjoyable!! Arthur Avenue Walkabout

I have wanted to see Arthur Av for quite some time. This was a great way to become acquainted with the neighborhood. Our tour-guide was very knowledgable about the area, and shared a lot of her insights. Our group was small with everyone very interested in every stop. This is only our second walking/eating tour in New York, but i am looking forward to many more. Thank You
Like touring with a local cousin. Arthur Avenue Walkabout

Despite the pouring rain the day of the trip, our guide and our fellow travelers were treated to a really enjoyable afternoon of "schmoozing with the locals". We've had the Arthur Avenue Cookbook for several years and on the tour we felt as though we were walking through a living version of the cookbook. We visited all the stores and met or saw most of the individuals and characters listed in the cookbook. We would highly recommend this tour expecially, since Susan seems to possess a joyous and encyclopedic knowledge of the neighborhood and the history of the bronx in general. She was greeted enthusiastically by most of the local businesses we visited and seemed to sweep us up in the lifestyle and activities as we toured the neighborhood, if only for that short time.

We met ebullient Susan on the street corner (where else but in NY). She gave us some materials to look at (mostly for later), a bottle of water and our first taste of NY - chicken jerky. Just 4 of us walked around lower East NY, as Susan pointed out buildings and sites along with its history. We stopped in neighborhood shops - old shops - that made us also step back in time. We sampled the goodies of the area; candy, soda, donuts, hotdogs. It was a very enjoyable tour...lots of fun.
needs more information from the start Arthur Avenue Walkabout
Fri, Nov 17, 06 11:45 AM	tallgirl10	Female	60-69	Combination	Family With Children
our group which consists of mothers and daughters (ages 35-40) have gone on walking tours for the past 4 years. we loved seeing the bronx, but felt this tour was a bit unorganized. we were not told that we would have to pay an additional $9 per person for the train ride (don't mind that but it should be included in the price; so make the whole deal more). and if you do not want to include it, then have the tickets already purchased for us and we can pay the person back right then. this tour did not have nearly as much food as the other ones we have been on. only one kind of pizza, instead of several to sample, etc. susan was very nice and we would like for her tours to be a success. we went into one pasta place where they make their own and cut it right there (thought we would be sampling the pasta) but it was if we wanted to buy some. then we got back to the train station too late for the next train and had to wait over 30 minutes. she needs to watch the time so the tour ends in time for the train. thank you
A Great Time Was Had by All Arthur Avenue Walkabout
Mon, Oct 23, 06 11:45 AM	joantraynor	Female	60-69	Local	Group of Friends
Susan of Susan Sez provided us with a wonderful, informative experience. After giving us some of the history of the Bronx Belmont section, Susan graciously brought us to many local specialty shops including the Arthur Ave. Market where we tasted everything from homemade sausages,fresh cheeses , breads, pastries and pizza to a lovely slice of Italian cheesecake at the walkabout's end. What a treat !! During all of this we heard about the local trivia and visited some very noteworthy historical spots. In addition, we found out about several nice restaurants. I highly recommend this tour to all.
fascinating look into ethnicity that still endures Arthur Avenue Walkabout
Mon, Jun 27, 05 11:45 AM	Dolores	Female	60-69	Local	Unspecified
As "native" NYers, we had heard about Arthur Avenue, but never visited it. It was one of the most fascinating tours my family & I have ever taken. Living in NY & having Italian neighbors has well acquainted us with Italian food, but this food was so fresh & delicious! Suzie knew just the right places to take us to. The highlight was seeing mozzarella cheese freshly made. We stayed on Arthur Avenue after the tour returned to Grand Central Terminal & did some shopping of our own.
Just the three of us Arthur Avenue Walkabout

My sister and I were the only ones on the tour which we didn't know till we met at the designated location. It might have been nice if we had been informed or even given a choice to reschedule with a larger group. This situation had it's pros and cons. Pros: it was just us; cons: it might have been more fun with a larger group. All in all it was enjoyable but there weren't nearly as many tastings as on previous tours. When we got back to the Metro North station to return to Grand Central, the ticket we were provided with was for another line and we each had to pay $13.00 to purchase another ticket on the train. I don't know how the tour guide missed this; we took the same train back that we took to get there.
We loved our tour with SusanSez. Arthur Avenue Walkabout

We toured Arthur Avenue in the Bronx with Susan. We had a wonderful time. She was so informative and we loved stopping into the food shops and trying the wonderful samples. We had so much to eat that we were stuffed by the end and we discovered many new places to come back and try. Susan gave us lots of time and we were not hurried at all. We highly recommend the tour.
