About this tour
Explore New York City through the flavors and histories of its Irish, Italian, and Chinese communities. This two-hour New York City Crime and Food Tour visits Chinatown, Little Italy, and Lower Manhattan, where immigration, neighborhood life, and organized crime have shaped the city’s story.
Led by a professional guide who is also a classically trained chef, the walk pairs local food with tales of the people and rivalries behind New York’s underworld. Hear about the Irish gangs of Five Points, the rise of the Italian Mafia, and Chinese organized crime and tongs as you visit iconic neighborhoods, markets, and local eateries. Along the way, enjoy six sample-size tastings, not a full meal, inspired by the communities at the heart of the tour.
The meeting point is near several subway and bus options, making it easy to reach by public transit. Come hungry for a taste of the city and curious about the stories behind it. Book the New York City Crime and Food Tour to experience three cultures and three underworlds on one flavorful walk.

How this score is calculated
This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.
How the score works
- 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. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
