About this tour
Discover the Upper West Side one cookie at a time on a relaxed, mile-long guided walk through one of New York’s most characterful neighborhoods. This New York cookie walking tour visits a curated selection of standout bakeries, each founded in New York City or run as a small, women-owned business, with tastings included at every stop.
Between bites, a professional historian shares stories of the neighborhood’s food culture, architectural character, and past. Sample cookies in a range of styles, techniques, and flavors, and enjoy a complimentary bottle of milk, with a dairy-free option available. Gluten-free, vegan, and dairy-free options can be requested. The walk begins near the American Museum of Natural History and Theodore Roosevelt Park, making it an easy way to pair local treats with a deeper sense of place. A minimum of three guests is required for the tour to run, and the experience is wheelchair accessible.
Come hungry for both cookies and neighborhood stories, and experience the Upper West Side through a distinctly New York lens on this New York cookie walking tour.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 4 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator 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 7.3. Top 34% in New York City means it ranks in the top 34% of tours in New York City by this score.
