Fantastic Tour Experience! - Loved meeting Krikor and experiencing this tour! I never knew much about this neighborhood and really enjoyed learning the history of it and its influence on today’s culture. Krikor is a fantastic storyteller and easy to engage with. The tour moves at a great pace, and there are many interesting sights to see along the way. My husband and I have taken food tours all over the world. We really enjoyed this one and would definitely recommend it to friends.

Had a blast and would recommend to anyone visiting the area. - The tour guide was wonderful and patient. He presented the changing history of the neighborhood and the many cultures that have impacted the area and food scene. This tour featured a diverse amount of foods, which is why I choose this tour. It was nice learning about the restaurant owners and how their business started. My family and I enjoyed all of the food choices on this tour. The portion sizes are adequate and there is time to digest between the stops. Ending with dessert is always a great touch. Had a blast and would recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Wonderful overview of the diverse cuisine of the East Village - We've been to New York City many times, but never had the opportunity to explore the East Village. We appreciated learning not just about the amazing foods available - Ukranian, Middle Eastern Eastern, and Japanese, to name a few - but also the history and culture of this quirky neighborhood. With over 400 restaurants to choose from, we'll need to come back again, but Kricor helped us fall in love with the area. The falafel we sampled was the best we've ever had. Thanks so much for a fascinating and delicious tour!

Delicious time with Krikor - Our guide Krikor was great! He has a very personal connection to the area and gave us historical perspectives that we would never have known otherwise. The food we tried was varied and delicious, and we gained a better understanding of the cultures they came from and the background of the restaurants. We especially liked the piroshkis at the Ukrainian restaurant and peeking in the Irish pub with its wonderful original decor from its very early days. Krikor also gave us a very informative cheat sheet for the area at the end of the tour. It was all well worth the very reasonable price!

Great Experience - Great experience. We got a great sense for the history of this area, but also got to experience food that we would not have known about without a local guiding us.

Memorable Experience - We had the opportunity to schedule a tour with Krikor when we were in New York for our wedding anniversary. The specific tour we selected was the East Village. Krikor was very knowledgeable about the area and really brought it to life for us. He is personable and a terrific story teller. We saw and learned things that would have never happened if we tried something like that on our own. We would highly recommend it was truly a memorable experience. Next time in town we will book another tour with him. Oh by the way the food we were introduced to on the tour was something special.
