About this tour

Follow the aromas of fresh dim sum and warm pizza through two of Manhattan’s most storied neighborhoods. On this New York City Chinatown and Little Italy food tour, a local guide pairs four tastings with the history and character of the streets around you.

Begin in Chinatown with traditional Chinese dishes, including specialties from Mei Lai Wah, a family bakery known for its baked buns since the late 1960s. Explore Mott and Mulberry Streets, see the murals along Doyers Street, and hear about the immigrant communities that shaped the area. The route also passes neighborhood landmarks such as the Church of the Transfiguration and the lively Mott Street Fish Market.

Continue into Little Italy for Italian pizza and dessert, with a chance to sample a cannoli from Caffè Palermo, home of the Cannoli King. Along the way, discover family-run food shops and historic local institutions. The two-hour New York City Chinatown and Little Italy food tour offers a flavorful way to experience old Manhattan with a knowledgeable guide. Meet at the Chinatown Information Kiosk at Baxter and Canal Street, and come ready to taste your way through the neighborhoods.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 5.00 from 5 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in New York City
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.4. Top 31% in New York City means it ranks in the top 31% of tours in New York City by this score.
