I highly recommend the Lower East Side food and neighborhood tour. Our guide, Connor, was fantastic—incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the area's rich history. They kept us engaged with fascinating stories as we explored a part of NYC we’d never seen before. It’s an easy walk, too! This tour is unique because it doesn't include the cost of food in the ticket price. This was a big plus for us, as it gave us the freedom to pick and choose the tastings that appealed to us most. Just be sure to bring cash, as one spot we visited was cash-only. Connor did a great job of curating a diverse selection of stops, from savory classics to delicious sweets. Our favorites: banana pudding at Sugar Sweet Sunshine and The Pickle Guys. We finished our afternoon with lunch at Katz’s Deli (also cash only) this is a MUST if you like pastrami. If you're looking for a great way to discover the Lower East Side, learn about its history, and try some amazing food, this is the tour for you. Ask for Connor—you won't be disappointed!
