NYC: Lower East Side Food Tour

About
Travel the world without leaving New York City with tickets for a culinary tour of NYC’s Lower East Side.
Begin at the African Burial Ground National Monument, then journey through the Lower East Side, Chinatown, and Little Italy, uncovering stories of struggle, survival, and celebration among the city’s first ethnic communities.
Sample traditional favorites, like knishes and dumplings, to taste the enduring cultural imprint left by generations who arrived chasing the American Dream.
Actively support New York City’s diverse ethnic communities—past and present. You’ll visit and purchase from locally-owned businesses, helping to sustain neighborhood eateries and shops, preserve cultural traditions, and understand the impact of gentrification and large-scale development.
