Some of our top tours are:

  1. Iconic Foods of the Lower East Side: Dive into New York's history through its culinary evolution. We will explore how immigrants came to New York City and stayed in insulated ethnic enclaves, and over time, came together to become New Yorkers, and in the process created New York City cuisine. Savor iconic foods like pizza, bagels, cheesecake, and more.

  2. Famous Jewish Foods of the Upper East Side: While immigrants bonded over each other’s cuisine, Jewish people often couldn’t participate because of the laws of kosher. Uncover the story of how Jews innovated their traditional cuisine to take part in NYC’s culinary trends and how this new and modern cuisine spread across the globe and became a worldwide phenomenon. You will sample pastrami, bagels, the finest smoked salmon in NYC, and more.
