Join our East Village Food Tour, a guided walking experience through one of Manhattan's most diverse neighborhoods. Along the way, you'll enjoy 8 food tastings featuring immigrant cuisine from the neighborhood, iconic New York dishes, and a few cult classics from those if-you-know-you-know spots.
As you walk the lively streets, your tour guide will share the neighborhood's layered immigrant history, from its 1800s roots as Little Germany, to its later identity as Little Ukraine, to its turn as the birthplace of New York's punk rock scene. You'll see popular landmarks like the colorful murals of the Bowery, historic St. Mark's Place, and the building featured on Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti album cover.
On this food tour, you'll enjoy eight unique tastings that showcase the neighborhood's incredibly diverse food scene — from a fresh everything bagel and a classic New York slice of pizza to Venezuelan empanadas, Polish pierogi, and kielbasa with kabanos, plus sweet treats like an old-school egg cream, a fried Oreo, and a selection of donuts.
