Good food and local history! - Our guide Jonathan was a fountain of knowledge, and a great host as we explored Hell's Kitchen and Central Park. He kept us continuously entertained with local knowledge, lore, and of course some amazing food! Be prepared to cancel your dinner reservations after this tour! We enjoyed every bite. Jonathan was accommodating to the pace of the group, and was great with the teens of both our family as well as the family that we toured with. Very much worth the money and a great way to spend the afternoon exploring this part of NYC!

Gotta do this Hells Kitchen tour - We were unsure which food tour to take and opted for the Hells Kitchen tour which was AWESOME. Jake was our tour guide and he was full of historical information and we enjoyed the restaurant choices very much. We felt that the food sampling size and diverse restaurant choices were perfect. An added bonus was his connection to the neighborhood as people recognized him which made us feel very much at home. I grew up in Staten Island but learned a lot from Jake. Great job! We're looking forward to our next adventure with you. And kudos to Hells Kitchen. Cool place.

We could have spent all day with this group! - We had an amazing time with our tour guide, David. The food was incredible, David was super knowledgeable about food, the city, the park, just so many things. He was a delight! Taco Mahal was probably my family's favorite. That was one outstanding taco! Thanks David!! We'll be back and we will send friends 😊

Wonderful tour, well planned and executed - Did the Hell's Kitchen and Central Park tour today with Claire and we absolutely loved it. Come hungry because there is lots of yummy food, which is nicely contrasted by the stroll through Central Park. I have been to NY many times and on many tours but this one was genuine and I learned many new things.

Epic food tour!! - Claire was an amazing storyteller and knew so much history of the neighborhoods, buildings and restaurants!! The restaurant choices were great, getting a vast sampling of different items and ethnicities even with some allergies & a vegetarian. The Central Park tour was perfect, we got to walk a good section of the park and see the sites with stories and explanations. Thank you so much Claire for your vast knowledge and enthusiasm, we will definitely book you for our next NY trip!!

Girls trip - If you like a ton of history talks this tour is for you. Favorite spots we stopped was Cheeseboat and a Mediterranean spot. The tour also ended up lasting almost 5 hours because our guide likes to talk a lot. We did another tour last year in Greenwich Village with another guide which was our favorite.
