Things to do The Lower East Side Food Tour

Vegan friendly. Not gluten-free friendly. The Lower East Side is the place that many Irish and later Jewish immigrants called home. Today, it is amongst the most diverse and somewhat affordable neighborhoods in Lower Manhattan. On this tour our guests will enjoy the taste of a delicious variety of potato knishes, sweet sorbet and gelato from one of NYCs most popular spots, discount candy shopping, delicious empanadas, your choice of pork or veggie dumplings, or scallion pancakes, an enourmous variety of pickles, and deluxe bagels, yur choice of plain, creamcheese, or lox. A variety of desserts awaits you! If the candy from earlier wasn’t enough, why not enjoy delicious sugar cookies, cupcakes, or doughnuts? That's the beauty of a pay-what-you-wish tour: you're not bound to a specific set of food items, nor are you tied to a specific amount! You’ll see the sights of Katz's delicatessen, Russ and Daughters appetizers, the Red Square Hotel, Angel Orensanz Center, the original and new Essex markets, and the Williamsburg Bridge. This tour does not guarantee that we will go inside any of these locations, but entrance to the Essex market is likely.
