About this experience
What you'll do:
On this private 3-hour walking tour through Manhattan’s Hell’s Kitchen, your group will explore one of NYC’s most culturally rich and evolving neighborhoods—through its dessert scene. Starting in the historic heart of the area, your guide will share stories of transformation, from gritty roots to a thriving culinary destination. As you stroll along 9th Avenue, you’ll stop at six sweet spots for tastings that reflect the neighborhood’s diversity, resilience, and creative flair. From classic American pies and Greek baklava to inventive cookies and globally inspired patisserie, there’s something for every sweet tooth. Along the way, you’ll learn how food reflects community history and how these local businesses contribute to the area's ongoing revitalization. Optional upgrades like wine at a nearby bar or a scenic walk to Central Park or Broadway add even more flavor to your group outing.
