Frequently Asked Questions


What is a FOOD ON FOOT Tour?

We offer individual and group sign-ups for tours year round, bringing fans of food and travel together, for special walking/subway tours of New York City.
Where do FOOD ON FOOT Tours go?

Each tour covers one or more neighborhoods, some that tourists usually don’t visit. If you’re passionate about what you eat, what you see and who you meet you’ll love being part of a FOOD ON FOOT TOUR. You’ll enjoy multiple cuisines on each tour.
Do we go to restaurants?

Most tours cover casual places and take out food. Our tours are a combination of noshing (New York for snacking), eating, people watching, sightseeing and subway riding. You’ll do it like New Yorkers do.
How long are Food On Foot Tours?

Tours are 3-4 hours.
What makes FOOD ON FOOT TOURS special?

We are a true eating tour, not a sampling tour. You purchase your own food and although we make recommendations, you get to enjoy what you like, not just what somebody gives you. Vegetarians are welcome.
How much food is there?

Each tour has multiple stops so you can enjoy as much or as little food as you like. If you’re traveling with friends or family, sharing is a great part of the experience of a FOOD ON FOOT TOUR.
Do we know where we’re stopping?

You don’t. A big part of the fun of a FOOD ON FOOT TOUR is the anticipation of each stop. There are usually many choices on a tour and you do not have to eat at every location.
How much will the food cost?

That depends on your appetite and the amount of people in your personal group. We have had guests spend as little as $3, up to $20 per person. Since our tours are designed to replace a meal (or even two) this is very reasonable for New York prices.
What do I need to bring?

Along with a MetroCard Bus & Subway Pass (available at all subway stations) please wear casual clothing and comfortable walking shoes. We encourage you to bring water with you especially during summer months. All tours are rain or shine (and may be altered at our sole discretion due to weather or travel conditions) so please bring weather gear as needed.
Is there anything else we need to know?

Children are welcome but you must make a smart decision about bringing kids along. Since our tours utilize the subway, stairs are usually part of every tour. There is lots of walking plus subway riding and ethnic cuisine stops. If this isn’t something the kids would enjoy please come without them. If you bring kids and they cause a delay the tour will have to move on without you. Please be aware of this because tickets are NON-REFUNDABLE.
Do I have to purchase FOOD ON FOOT TOUR tickets in advance?

Tours often sell out so please book early. To purchase tickets call 1-631-491-0326. Reservations are required for groups.
