Great
Lisa was well versed in the Lower East Side and passionate about sharing its food with us. She paced the tour well and I left full but not stuffed.

Great guide great tastings, lots of fun for all ages and tastes. I personally was not wild about the vegan option but it was still amazing fun and super interesting! I recommend without reservation.

Unser Guide Brian hat unsere kleine Gruppe bestehend aus insgesamt 9 Leuten sehr unterhaltsam und mit viel Begeisterung und Humor kulinarisch durch die unterschiedlichsten Ecken der Lower East Side geführt. Er hat es verstanden, durch Gespräche und persönlicher Ansprache ein Zusammengehörigkeitsgefühl unter völlig Fremden zu schaffen. Es hat viel Spaß gemacht, uns quer durchs Viertel zu probieren.
Es lohnt sich, mit Brian nicht nur über "den Tellerrand" zu schauen, er gibt auch viele Informationen und Tips darüber hinaus.
Super!
