About Tour
12-Time TripAdvisor Award Winner
Literally steps away from the hustle and bustle of tourist traps but a world away are the real New York places where the locals eat. This tour takes you to those places and unlike standard food tours you get to choose what you like and how much at every stop. Enjoy walking the neighborhood of Hell’s Kitchen and meeting and mingling with others (potential new friends) from around the world. Tour includes both savory & sweet stops and all tour stops are a
surprise! We think it’s much more fun that way.
As one of our first tours from when we started in 2009 this tour remains one that is close to our heart as our guests learn of the inexpensive eats so close to Times Square and get to know about the neighborhood. Our tours are about the eats and seeing and feeling the neighborhood like a local.
Choose the ticket that fits you best but either way the tour is the same. Platinum Tickets include a $22 food credit and SuperSaver Tickets allow you to pay-as-you-go. Most guests spend about $20 to $25 for food on the tour. Take the tour as one of the first things you do in New York for unbiased restaurant
recommendations to help you eat great and save money for your whole trip.

The tour was a great choice! Corey took us to places we would have never even have known to go to! He also recommended other places to dine at. At the same time, met some fun people to enjoy a few meals with! Definitely a good thing to check out!
