New York City Food Tours

"Nosh" Your Way Through The City With A Guide Who Is
Rated No. 6 of 824 New York City
Attractions on TripAdvisor.com's
Popularity Index!

New York City is home to a veritable smorgasbord of cultures and the incredible culinary traditions that have been tantalizing the palates of native New Yorkers and their guests for many, many years

What better way to experience NYC than by walking its streets and by "noshing" (snacking) your way through the affordable culinary treats that are readily available?

On these tours, we weave our way through a combination of Asian, Italian, Jewish, Middle Eastern, Eastern European, and American:

bakeries
delicatessens
salumerias
pizzerias
pickle mongers
bagel, bialy and knish shops
gourmet donut shops
vintage candy stores
herbal shops
dumpling shops
pasta makers
snack shops
produce markets
meat markets
fish markets
street vendors
ethnic food supply
and
other eateries

(a combination of which varies
depending on the neighborhood tour chosen)

In short, we learn about and sample our way through a number of culinary traditions - and learn about the history of New York City's diverse ethnic neighborhoods

Here's how it works . . .

Many of our NYC Food Tours last approximately 3 hours
(unless otherwise indicated)

The price of our NYC Food Tours does not include the price of the snacks sampled along the way

But please don't despair!

The iconic New York City foods to which you are
introduced during the course of these tours are
delicious - and affordable - snacks that are well
within most of our budgets

(It ain't haute cuisine!)

We eat "on the go" and sample as many culinary delights as possible

Why spend precious time being seated in restaurants?

The best way to learn about this incredible
City is to walk, to taste, to smell, and, best of all,
to sample, its iconic foods in the native
New Yorker's natural habitat - the streets of New York!

Our goal is to provide you with a bit of knowledge about the culinary traditions and history that form the backdrop for many of these delectable edibles

(We'll try any excuse to share the
extraordinarily rich history of New York City with you!)

You – rather than a tour guide handing out small morsels – choose the treats that entice your palate

Your health is paramount

Please adhere to your dietary needs and medical restrictions
while immersing yourself in the delights of this culinary Mecca!

We keep things small . . .

It's not about handing morsels of food out
to large crowds of people on the sidewalk

Come inside . . . Explore . . . Ask questions . . . Eat

As Anthony Bourdain says . . . "be a traveler, not a tourist"

All tours are led by Lina Viviano

(Lina is the founder of Gotham Walking Tours)

Lina is a native New Yorker whose family life is rooted in highly-cherished Italian and Jewish culinary traditions

(How can one possibly go wrong with Italian and Jewish
mothers and grandmothers dominating the kitchens
of one's childhood and adult life?)

Did we mention that Lina is a self-proclaimed
"NYC foodie" whose family has spent
the last several decades in the
pizza and restaurant industry?

(It's a genetic thing . . . )

(Pizza, pizza, pizza)

(Mom's homemade sauce and pasta)

(All the ingredients (except for the pasta)
lovingly grown in her Dad's garden)

(A Manhattan family apartment whose every
crevice is stocked with kitchen gadgets and
ingredients from many, many parts of the world)

Our clients don't go home "hungry"

(That just wouldn't be polite!)

Guests who often note that Lina's neighborhood walking tours rapidly transform themselves into walking historical - and foodie - tours

Sorry, but she just can't help herself . . .

Not that her clients are complaining . . .
