New York City Food and History Walking Tour

Follow the flavors and stories of three immigrant neighborhoods on a New York City food and history walking tour. Chinatown, Little Italy, and the Lower East Side each reveal a different chapter in the city’s past, told through the food and traditions that communities carried forward.

Walk between neighborhood stops for hand-folded dumplings, old-school Jewish pastries, pizza, and pickles. Along the way, your guide connects these tastes to the families and communities behind them, while sharing how immigration shaped the area. You’ll also hear stories of tenement life and see how historic buildings have changed over time. The tour lasts 180 minutes and includes snacks, with a live English-speaking guide. It is a private walking tour, so wear comfortable shoes and come hungry.

Meet your guide at the corner of Mulberry and Worth Street, where they’ll be holding a sign. Discover the history and flavor of New York City one neighborhood and bite at a time.
