You decide which food you want, then pay what you wish for the guide. This is the best deal in NYC With an ethnically diverse community, one can find virtually every type of cuisine here. On our tour we will savor a delicious array of cuisines and flavors including: Greek-American Split pea Soup with fried croutons, delicious classic tasting NYC pizza, authentic Dolmas (Grape Leaves) Ukrainian varenyky (vegetable filled cabbage rolls) and perogis, delicious egg cream drinks, up to 8 different flavors of Korean Dumplings, and Italian pastries such as cannoli and sfogliatelle. Don’t worry – we’ll walk off the calories as we explore the history and culture of the East Village, from the Dutch colony of the 1600s, to the 1800s when the neighborhood was known as Kleindeutschland, (Little Germany). We'll also see famous locales from the counter-culture scene of the 1950s and ‘60s to the punk rock explosion of the 1970s and 1980s. If a guest purchases 1 of every item, they will spend $11.

Q&A

Q: Is there a minimum age for this food tour? I'm thinking of gifting it to my teenage niece.

A: There’s no strict age limit for the tour! It’s definitely family-friendly, so your niece should have a blast trying all the different foods. Just keep in mind that some of the dishes might be more adventurous than others, so it depends on her tastes. Plus, the guide is great with kids and can make it fun for everyone.

Q: What's the best time of year to go on this food tour? I want to gift it for a birthday in the spring.

A: Spring is actually a fantastic time for the East Village Food Tour! The weather is usually mild, so you can enjoy the outdoor portions comfortably. Plus, a lot of outdoor dining spots start to open up around that time. Just keep an eye on the forecast, as NYC weather can be a bit unpredictable!

Q: How does the payment for the guide work? Do I need cash?

A: Great question! You'll pay a small booking fee when you reserve, and then when you meet the guide, you can pay them whatever you feel the tour was worth. Cash is preferred for tips, but some guides might accept Venmo or other payment apps. Just check with them beforehand!

Just did the Private East Village Food Tour - Amazing experience!

I took the Private East Village Food Tour last weekend and it was such a blast! We got to try everything from pizza to Ukrainian perogis. Our guide was super knowledgeable and shared cool stories about the neighborhood. The best part was definitely the egg cream drinks! I'm thinking about gifting this to my friend for her birthday. Highly recommend!

Considering the East Village Food Tour as a gift - Thoughts?

I'm looking at the Private East Village Food Tour as a gift for my parents. They love exploring new cuisines! I just want to make sure it’s worth it and not too much walking for them. Anyone done it recently? How was the pace?
