Definitely try to get Patrick’s tour. - We lucked out both to have Patrick as our guide and that the weather was beautiful. Patrick is clearly a fun person with a love of culture and good food and the wisdom to know how to share his food and history knowledge with anyone from any background. The food was all tremendous and the ratio of walking, history , and food was perfect. Not too much for this 50s-60s couple! I would definitely come back and do another tour with this group.

Great, tasty, and fun food tour. - We really enjoyed this experience. Patrick was an excellent tour guide (friendly, welcoming, inclusive and knowledgable). The food selections were great - filling, varied and delicious. It was a great mix of food and history. The distances between each location were very walkable. And each location was given reasonable time too enjoy too. It is a well curated food tour.

Incredible Food Tour Experience - This tour is a must do if you are visiting NYC. It far exceeded our expectations! Our tour guide, Hannah, made the experience so special with her knowledge of food and history. Her magnetic and welcoming personality made the time so special- and all the food tastings were incredible.

Don’t Miss the Chinatown & Little Italy Food Tour!! - Patrick was the best guide you could hope to have: personable with a wealth of knowledge about the neighborhood. The food was fantastic, wasn’t a miss on any of the dishes. Would absolutely go back to each destination to sample again!
