Took the Lower East Side food tour, hosted by Andrea. The food was great (especially the Pickle Guys, which we went back to afterwards), and Andrea gave us great insights into the history of the Lower East Side area. Will take another Sidewalks tour when we next return to NY.

I learned so much about the history of the neighborhood, the city, and the food I got to try. All the places we visited were amazing! Finished the tour in the best way possible with Molly cupcakes. Our tour guide Ross was very knowledgeable, he took care of all the party and provided great insights of each of our stops.

Wonderful! Lydia was so friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. The artichoke slice blew out doors off right outta the gate. She gave us choices of bars to try based on our mood and gave an excellent background of different GV landmarks. A wonderful 2 hours in Greenwich Village!!!

We had a great time on our food tour of the Lower East Side! Even for us being local to NYC our group definitely agreed that we learned some new things about the history of the neighborhood and tried food that we hadn't heard of before. Our tour guide Ross was very knowledgable as well! Would definitely book with Sidewalk Food Tours again.

We booked a private tour and enjoyed the history of Greenwich Village, as well as the food on the tour.

Both Diana and Ross were amazing with history of the LES along with history of the restaurants, markets and shops. Our group had a wonderful time.

My wife and I had a great time! We really enjoyed the diversity of the types of food. Our guide Lydia was very friendly and helpful. We couldn’t be happier!

West Village Food Tour - June 16, 2023 A wonderful, 3-hour tour. Informative and delicious! First of all, Josh in the office was more than helpful. I admit I made his job more difficult than necessary due to the multiple changes I needed to make. Josh was courteous and helpful and, in no way, did he give me impression of being bothered. Andrea was the tour guide for myself and two friends. Our tour group was small which I felt was a stroke of luck. Andrea sent an email to each of us the day before our tour which reminded us of the tour, our meeting spot and time. She also noted that the tour would begin promptly at the scheduled time. She also asked if we had any dietary restrictions, food allergies or questions. I replied to her email asking for suggestions for places to visit after our tour had concluded. She responded promptly and gave us some helpful suggestions. Andrea cheerfully met us at the predetermined time. After introductions, Andrea gave us a brief overview of what we were to see, answered our questions and confirmed that there were no food allergies she needed to be aware of. We stopped at Faicco's Italian Specialties where we sampled soppressata and rice balls, a.k.a. Arancini in front of Faicco's. Both were excellent. As we snacked, Andrea gave us a history of the place. Our next stop was Bleeker Street Pizza. Andrea gave us a brief history before going in. We ate slices of of Nona Maria pizza. Then the previous owner, Greg Greenwood, joined us. He gave us a detailed history of the restaurant, which his brother, Captain Douglas Greenwood, opened in 2004. Captain Greenwood tragically passed away from 9/11 illness and ownership passed to Greg, who recently sold the pizzeria, although he still works there on Fridays. The pizza was fantastic! I will definitely visit again. As we walked through the West Village, Andrea gave us more history of the neighborhood, which included a home that was only 9 feet wide and a former speakeasy!! Our third stop was Hudson Bagels. where we shared two delicious, traditional New York bagels with cream cheese. Our fourth stop was Galanga, a Thai restaurant. We each had a corn fritter and Chicken Satay. I loved the fritters but thought the chicken was a bit plain. The fifth restaurant was Mamoun's Falafel. My boring palate did not enjoy this treat, but the others did. Lastly we had a cupcake at Molly's Cupcakes, opened by a former school teacher and schoolhouse themed. We each ordered different cupcakes,

We had a private food tour of the west village on our trip to New York for my sisters 21st birthday! We had the most amazing time! All the food stops were delicious and Ross our guide was really knowledgable about the local area! It was one of the highlights of our trip! Thanks again to Ross! Would definitely recommend!

Went with friends and really didn't know much about the tour or what to expect but was very pleasantly surprised. We had a good variety of food which was very tasty and our tour guide Andrea was great.she was knowledgeable about the are and had a great personality and attitude.

All of the food was delicious (especially the pastrami at Katz's), and Lydia shared some really interesting history between the stops. I had a blast, and would highly recommend the experience, even for New Yorkers!

Lydia provided excellent history of the area and the food was DELICIOUS. Thanks for opening the tour for 2 extra people!

We had a wonderful guide, Adam, we learned a lot about the neighborhood as we were able to sample some of the best food. Everything was delicious and Adam was so much fun.

Adam was the best! Had a great day in the Village tasting pizza and the addition of a couple of drinks is perfect. Did not expect full slices or full pints...but this tour delivers. We kept a good pace but never felt rushed. We did not leave hungry. Would highly recommend anyone who wants to try some of the infamous pizza places in the village and get your learn on at the same time.

Adam, our guide, was exceptional. He knew all the staff at each location, which made the experience fast and customized. Moreover, he was awesome with our two kids, ages 10 and 14. He made the trip fun for kids and adults alike.
