Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids on this food tour?

A: There's no strict age limit, so kids are totally welcome! Just keep in mind that it might be a bit of a walking tour, so little ones might need to be carried or have a stroller. The food is delicious, so it could be a fun family outing for everyone. Just check with the provider about any specific accommodations if you have a toddler.

Q: What if it rains on the day of the tour? Do they reschedule?

A: Yes, they'll definitely work with you on rescheduling if the weather is bad. Just reach out to them ahead of time, and they'll sort it out for you. The tour is best enjoyed when you're not dodging raindrops, anyway! They want you to have the best experience possible.

Q: What should I wear for this tour? Is it casual?

A: Casual is totally the way to go! You’ll be walking around, so comfy shoes are a must. Layers are also a good idea since you’ll be going in and out of shops, and NYC can get a little chilly, especially in fall. Bring a light jacket and you’ll be all set!

Just did the Mom and Pop Food Tour - OMG!

I just got back from the Mom and Pop Food Tour in Chinatown and Little Italy and it was AMAZING! The sponge cake with tea was fluffy and delicious, and those dumplings were to die for. The pizza with that 4.5-hour sauce? Mind-blowing! I can’t stop thinking about that cannoli at the end. Seriously, best I've ever had! If you're thinking of gifting this, do it! Totally worth it!

Considering gifting the food tour - any tips?

I’m thinking of getting the Mom and Pop Food Tour experience as a gift for my foodie friend’s birthday. Has anyone done it? How long did the tour last, and was there enough food? I want to make sure it’s a satisfying experience for them.
