Reviews for Immigrant New York: Lower East Side, Chinatown & Little Italy Food Tour

The Immigrant New York Food Tour was such an amazing experience! It’s the perfect mix of fascinating history, culture, and incredible food. Our guide was engaging and knowledgeable, making each stop even more meaningful. We tried a little bit of everything—custom cake pops from Rebecca’s inside Essex Market, fresh bagels from Kossar’s, a classic pickle from The Pickle Guys, a sweet bag of treats from Economy Candy, a crispy slice from Nolita’s Pizza, a mini cannoli from Ferrara’s Bakery & Café, and a delicious pork roll from Mai Lai Wah. Every bite told a story about the neighborhood and its rich immigrant history. Highly recommend this tour if you want to explore the Lower East Side, Chinatown, and Little Italy in the most delicious way!

Seth was an amazing tour guide giving us so much knowledge and history with the food we were trying! He was also very accommodating to the groups requests of food reveals to get that "oooh" and "awe" vibe. From pickles, to pizza and lots in between, all the food was delicious and unlike other food tours I've been on where you get a tiny sample and might still leave hungry.... that's definitely not the case here!

Seth was so fun, filled with knowledge, and flexible with our large group! The food was delicious and we were amazed how many different kinds of places we could traverse during our walk. Highly recommend!

We took the walking tour with Chris. I enjoyed the tour sampling the different food. Chris pointed out architecture and various graffiti art. The tour took me to areas I wouldn’t normally go. The weather was terrible but you can’t plan for that. Chris communicated where to meet up & tried to provide a good experience for everyone.

I’ve visited New York City several times, but I’ve never spent much time in the Lower East Side. I thought this tour would be a great way to get to know the neighbourhood, and it was exactly that! Seth was an excellent guide, delving into the history and showing us around this popular part of Manhattan, and taking us to several businesses (including stops in Chinatown and Little Italy), where we enjoyed very tasty food - the pasta and pizza stops were highlights for me. I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to become better acquainted with Manhattan’s Lower East Side and enjoy good food along the way.

Highly recommend this tour as a way to explore these areas through the lens of food and immigrant history. Our guide Chris was awesome and so knowledgeable about so many facets of the areas we explored! Really glad we went :)
