Ahoy New York Food Tours (New York City): Top Tips Before You Go

Neighborhood Profile

Upper West Side

Nestled between Central Park and the Hudson River, the Upper West Side offers iconic architecture and a quiet, residential respite from the buzzing energy of downtown. Along Central Park West are many of the city’s most iconic apartment buildings, as well as the American Museum of Natural History, which has been welcoming visitors to its historic exhibit halls for over 140 years. Culture fans will love Lincoln Center, home to some of the world’s best opera, dance, film, and theater performances, all centrally located around a beautiful fountain. Spanning the entire length of the Upper West Side, Riverside Park is ideal for a long, leisurely stroll in a quiet green space.

“China Town and Little Italy”

Reviewed 2 days ago NEW

This tour was the highlight of our trip. The guide, Liz, was very informative and the food was wonderful. Little Italy and Chinatown are close enough together that there was not a lot of walking involved. That made more time for learning about the history and culture of the area. Would definitely recommend this tour,

We had a great time!! Alana was such a gracious, knowledgeable guide and it made this tour such an enriching experience. I have attended multiple tours in NYC and RI, but this was the best ever. Our stomachs and brains were fed and I learned so much!

“Chinatown & Little Italy Tour”

Reviewed 5 days ago NEW via mobile

Amazing tour! Our guide, Liz, was very energetic and informational as we worked through Chinatown and Little Italy for 3 hours. It was definitely worth the cost as we ate something at 7 places and were very full afterward. It was also great to learn some of the history of the neighborhoods. Great thing to do in New York City!

“Excellent”

Reviewed 1 week ago

We did a tour of Chinatown and Little Italy. Our guide, Liz, was amazing. She told us so much history about the areas. She made it so interesting that I could imagine what it must have been like to live in that area during the late 1800's. The food was very good, too. I would highly recommend this tour.

Thank Laura D

Greetings and thanks for the "excellent" review! Liz IS amazing and yes it's so fun to explore Chinatown and Little Italy when the narrative helps bring their origin to life. We are happy that you enjoyed the scrumptious food too. Thanks for recommending our tour, come back and see us soon! More

“Great food and great history!”

Our tour guide Mike was knowledgeable, funny, and overall led a great tour of Little Italy and Chinatown. The food was an excellent sampler and generous in portion - we could barely eat in dinner later that evening! There was a great mix of general historical fact and "behind the scenes" type tales that kept everything lively. We'd highly recommend... More

The tour is definitely a must. Alana was an excellent guide with lots of insight and knowledge into both Chinatown and little Italy and beyond! Great recommendations for other places to eat out with the area as little Italy especially is not great for Italian food although the delis she took us too were amazing and had been there for...

We are so glad that you enjoyed the tour and consider it a "must". These neighborhoods surely are fun to explore with an expert guide and then on your own for those must buy foodie souvenirs-- we are delighted that you found time to explore after the tour. Thanks again for the great review, we hope to tour with you... More

“Fun food tour”

Reviewed 3 weeks ago via mobile

Me and my husband were the only two booked for that day but tour still went ahead with Mike as guide. He was a mine of historic info - very interesting and personable. Went into some places wouldn't have gone into otherwise. Really nice start to our three days in NYC.

Thank Diane S
