Why choose our food tour? Because we're the only tour that prioritizes quality above hype—and then delivers on both. Some dishes are on Instagram because they're pretty, but others are getting talked about because they're just that good. We know the difference. You know that place you saw on Jack's Dining Room? We can tell you how it compares to the other place from Righteous Eats...and if it's worth the visit, it's on our tour. Through some partnerships, a bit of expert planning (if we do say so ourselves), and a little local-know-how elbow grease, we get you to the absolute best bites. But we’re more than just snacks on a stroll. Our guides are local food fanatics who personally know the owners, history, quirky details, and the real "why" behind every bite. You won’t just eat—you’ll experience New York City in a way most visitors never will.
