Tenements, Tastings, and Tales - New York Lower East Side Tour by Foot

Get in touch with the tasty culture of NYC on this New York food tour that is a pleasure for both the body and the mind! This New York City tour will start off at a location where many new citizens are made official, City Hall. Here at the northern edge of the colonial city, we’ll start our journey with a delicious Dutch breakfast treat - just one of many foods that has made its way over thanks to the immigrant population in NYC. We’ll make our way in a loop around the Lower East Side, visiting 100-year old bakeries, churches, markets and historic sites. We’ll stroll the streets of Little Italy just as Lucky Luciano might have a century ago. Marvel at former and still operating synagogues and Jewish clothing stores. We’ll dive into Latin culture at the Essex St. Market and take in cultural sites like the Lower East Side Tenement Museum, and the African Burial Ground. Finally, we’ll end up in the crowded and teaming streets of Chinatown, where you’ll feel like you're in Shanghai! Along the way, we’ll sink our teeth into amazing stories and amazing food. Knishes, tacos, dumplings, and more. We’ll taste why New York City is the center of the world and the culinary legacy left here by those that have passed by Lady Liberty on their way to the American Dream.

Ending point: Loreley Biergarten - 7 Rivington St, New York, NY 10002.
