Overview
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.
