I have done other food tours but they didn’t compare to Foods of New York. The amount of food that you eat is so much. Every tasting was delicious. The tour guide was informative and very knowledgeable.

Jackie was an AMAZING guide - the perfect balance of history sharing, story-telling, and space to eat / enjoy loved ones company. I am a local to Nolita and learned SO much about my own neighborhood in a fun + digestible way. Would recommend to do with family members and/or significant others.
