    Tasty bites with a history lesson

    "We booked the 10 stop tasting tour of Little Italy but before we arrived Earl suggested splitting it between China town and Little Italy which was fantastic news as that’s what we wanted to do. Earl’s communication before the trip was great and directions clear. We had an absolutely fantastic time exploring both areas and Earl was a fountain of historic knowledge wherever we went. It was great that it wasn’t just about the food but we really got a feel for the history of these areas and went to places there’s no way we’d have visited other wise. Each food option was absolutely delicious with a fantastic variety of savoury and sweet. Couldn’t recommend more. Thank you Earl! "

    Wonderful experience!

    "Our family had a lovely afternoon with Earl eating delicious food, exploring unique parts of the city, and learning the historical details of the areas. We did half Chinatown/half little Italy, which made for a diverse food experience! I would highly recommend Earl as your guide! He did a wonderful job."

Earl was perfect - he gave us much insight into the history of the areas we visited and engaged in discussion about so many things. There was not one dull moment!

    A Fun and Delicious NYC Sandwich Tour

    "Ben was fantastic and made the NYC sandwich tour such a fun and memorable experience for our clients. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and shared great stories about the city along with the food, which added so much value to the tour. The pacing was perfect, the sandwich spots were excellent, and he made sure everyone felt comfortable and well taken care of throughout.
