Best NYC Food Tours: Curated by Neighborhood
A good food tour does two things: it takes you to places you would not find on your own, and it gives you the context to understand why each place matters. These six tours do both.
Prices shown are starting (‘from’) prices and can vary by date, group size, and season — always confirm the current price and stop list on the booking page before you go.
Lower East Side Food Tour
Walk through the historic Lower East Side with a local guide — real stops include Katz's Delicatessen, Russ & Daughters, Yonah Schimmel's knish bakery, Kossar's bialys, The Pickle Guys, and Doughnut Plant. Eight stops of real LES institutions, not just a walk-by.
Chinatown Walking Food Tour
A guided walk through Chinatown covering Nom Wah Tea Parlor, Fried Dumpling, Golden Manna Bakery, and several other neighborhood spots, with a stop at the historic Edward Mooney House. Some tastings are optional add-ons — check the current stop list when booking.
Brooklyn Bridge & DUMBO Food Tour
Cross into Brooklyn Heights and DUMBO with a local guide, sampling pizza and other neighborhood specialties at Time Out Market before finishing with the Manhattan Bridge Archway photo stop and a walk back across the Brooklyn Bridge.
Greenwich Village Food & Cultural Tour
Running since 1999, this Village institution covers Joe's Pizza, Murray's Cheese, Tacombi, Faicco's, and several other neighborhood spots with a guide who knows the block-by-block history. Food tastings are included; drinks are available to purchase separately.
Chelsea Market & High Line Food Tour
Taste your way through Chelsea Market, then continue to Market 57 at Pier 57 before walking the High Line toward Hudson Yards. Expect a mix that includes Japanese-Mexican tacos, Portuguese egg custard tarts, dumplings, and a classic NY pizza stop along the way.
Brooklyn Pizza Crawl with Optional Brews
Four Williamsburg pizza stops — Williamsburg Pizza, a Bedford Avenue slice shop, a South 2nd Street pizzeria, and a Havemeyer Street brick-oven spot. Beer isn't included in the base tour — add the guided brewery tasting variant if you want the pairing (adds about 45 minutes).
