Highlights

Additional Information
Join a community of sandwich enthusiasts on this exciting and intellectually stimulating culinary tour as we indulge in tasteful sandwiches across New York City.
Together, we’ll explore dining spots only known to NYC locals as we contemplate the philosophical question ‘what constitutes a sandwich?’, while answering this question by devouring three scrumptious half-sandwiches.
The ticket cost com naturally covers the food expenses. Rest assured, you won’t return with an empty stomach!
Apart from the mouthwatering sandwiches, you’ll also be regaled with fascinating stories about the origin of the sandwich, and the individuals crafting them. Additionally, we’ll take in the sights of street art and delve into New York’s history.
Arrive with an inquisitive mind, depart with a SATIATED stomach (and a resolution about whether a hotdog, a burger or a taco qualifies as a sandwich).
We offer private tours for business groups too. As experienced by Amazon, Google, Audible and more.
Location

Astor Place

What is really a sandwich... a must in NYC! - Something different and fun to do in the city. Our guide Ben was so nice! It was evident that this was no ordinary sandwich experience. Ben not only led us to hidden gems but also shared fascinating stories about the history of each establishment. It was like a journey through time and taste, with each bite revealing a unique chapter in the city's rich gastronomic history. Our favorite place was Factory Tamal; we still daydream about that ham hot press panini!

BEST TOUR NYC - This tour is amazing!!!! Ben is so so great. We have been to NYC a few times and decided to switch things up a bit and take a walking food tour. Ben did not disappoint, in fact he exceeded our expectations! He makes you feel like a friend and so comfortable as he tours you around to some of the most amazing sandwich shops and bars that you would not have found otherwise. Would recommend this tour to anyone and would absolutely do it again myself in a heart beat!

A unique and delicious experience! - Are you visiting New York but want to experience something more off the beaten path? This is an excellent opportunity to see a slice of the city that you likely wouldn’t otherwise. I would describe this as a tour of the living and breathing city from the street level, seeing some of the bones of what make New York the city is. The food and beers were excellent, as was the ambience of every stop along the way. I’m looking forward to checking out more of Ben’s tours next time I’m in town. Well worth the value. Support local businesses and keep the city alive. Might as well get a good beer and burger while you’re at it!

Sandwich & Brews - Had a blast on Ben's NYC sandwich tour! 🥪🗽 Seriously, this guy knows his stuff. We had 3 mouthwatering sandwiches from places we never would have thought to go. Ben really takes the time to know his guests and their preferences, the whole experience was awesome. If you're into sandwiches or just want to grub around the city, Ben's tour is a solid 5-star pick! Thanks Ben!!
