These food tours have clearly figured out the winning formula: exceptional guides who bring NYC neighborhoods to life through both stories and tastings.

Families particularly appreciate that the selections work well for kids and teens, while the three-hour duration flies by thanks to the perfect mix of eating, walking, and storytelling. Even rain doesn't dampen the experience, according to several reviewers who still had a blast despite the weather.
Taking a Food of NY tour is one of our favorite things to do when we visit NYC. Tasting delicious food combined with learning about the history of neighborhoods is a great way to spend an afternoon.
