Description
Enjoy the food New Yorkers love to eat with six substantial food stops, ranging from beloved Chinese restaurants and century-old delis, as you learn the stories of city’s most famed streets. You'll get a balanced experience, hearing authentic stories about the origins and present conditions of famed neighborhoods, while also eating foods that help tell those tales — 60% food, 40% history, and great for lovers of both.
Start your day in the Lower East Side, once the hub of Jewish New York, as you hear the stories of the neighborhood's early immigrants. Plus, visit some of the neighborhood's most popular eateries, including a 90-year old bakery and a store that still pickles their fruits and veggies in an old-fashioned style.
Next, explore the authentic side of Little Italy and Nolita, biting into a popular pizza slice that itself tells a story about the area's change. After wandering through some of the neighborhood's most historic sites, you'll skip the line at Di Palo's Fine Foods, a historic Italian grocery store, to try freshly made mozzarella.
You'll spend the rest of your day in Chinatown, hearing how the neighborhood has grown and changed since it was part of the 1800s gangster Five Points era. Your guide will direct you to one of the city's great hidden gems, a pork bun restaurant tucked in the basement of an unassuming mall, before they help you skip the line at Shu Jiao Fu Zhou, home to New York's tastiest and most popular peanut butter noodles.
