NYC Lower East Side Walking and Food Tour
We stop at this awesome place for a variety of pickles - sweet, sour and in between.
The best pastrami on the planet is at Katz’s Deli. Have what she had.
Kossar’s will ruin you for other bagels and bialy’s. They’re among the best in NYC.

Overview

Delve deeper into the food and multicultural history of Manhattan’s Lower East Side than you could alone on this small-group walking tour. Rather than guessing at eateries and foods to try, let a guide showcase local hotspots and specialties; and chart their European, Jewish, and other cultural roots. Taste snacks such as “knish” doughballs, “bialy” filled rolls, and more; and learn stories of 19th-century immigrant life that many travelers miss.
  • Explore the foods and history of the Lower East Side on a walking tour
  • Skip guesswork: let a guide introduce you to must-try eateries and snacks
  • Try “bialy” rolls, pickles, and more; and unpack the area’s immigrant past
  • Stop by the Tenement Museum and enjoy tastings that amount to a full meal

Inside Info on Iconic Restaurants
Ernest_F
, Sep 2021
It is great to see and experience iconic restaurants such as Katz Deli and Russ & Daughters. Our guide Adam (reminded me a bit of Alden from Walking Dead) is an enthusiastic and energetic guide. He clearly loves what the area has to offer and he enjoys sharing his knowledge. Adam greets owners on a first-name basis so it is clear why Adam has so much background info. It was very satisfying to be on this tour.

Went mid Oct during covid and Dante was super friendly to talk thru new safety precautions and get to know each other at the legendary and delicious Katz. He was super safe and I loved that he would get all the food for us so we got to hang and take in the ambiance at each stop. I live uptown but did this tour with my mom in town and the history and stories Dante brings in aren’t over the top all at but a great addition as we strolled the old neighborhood. And the food hits at every stop. A great array, Russ & Daughters, Vanessa’s dumplings, pickles, donuts, bialys every stop I’m telling you. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
