What to expect

Join this NYC East Village Food Tour to explore New York City’s hottest restaurants and artistic history of the New York culinary world.

This culinary experience leads you through a 4-course progressive meal, where each course is served at a different restaurant. We start with appetizers, followed by an entree, and concluding with a mouthwatering dessert. We also have optional alcohol pairing upgrades available for purchase on the tour.

Along the way, you'll hear unique history and the stories of restaurant owners, chefs, and industry experts who have made the East Village their home.
