Tour ends in the Lower East Side neighborhood of Manhattan. Tour is a spring/summer only tour.

 This is a scheduled public tour with individual ticket sales and each guest requires a ticket.  Because this is a sweets tour toilet stops are limited. The calendar code of this tour is WFST.

We are a QUALITY FRESH FOOD EATING TOUR. We are not a sampling, gourmet, food preparation or history tour. We talk about the neighborhoods to give you a flavor (we had to do it) of the area but we are all about the eating and meeting others. You choose what you like at each stop and how much with either a ticket with a food credit included or you can pay-as-you-go. Most people spend about $20 per person on the tours but more on this tour as people often buy gifts or take items home. All our stops are a surprise. The anticipation is part of the fun. We want you to experience the city the way New Yorkers. We are a true meet mingle tour. We designed the tours to give you time to take in real non-tourist New York neighborhoods in a relaxed manner while meeting others.
