Of course, the main part of any food tour is the food which was delicious and plentiful. 2 desserts stops. One was an amazing apple pie cookie. The savory stops were also quite good.

Meghan was the best food guide -- so engaging, super knowledgeable and ensured all our needs were met. She took us to all the great places where the locals go, including a hidden gem. Everything we ate was the best Chinese food I've tasted. We even learned about the sauces to pair with it which I would never have known on my own. We came on an empty stomach and left completely full. Best birthday gift for my husband. He loves his noodles and dumplings and got the best he's ever tasted!

I admit I made his job more difficult than necessary due to the multiple changes I needed to make. Josh was courteous and helpful and, in no way, did he give me impression of being bothered. Andrea was the tour guide for myself and two friends. Our tour group was small which I felt was a stroke of luck. Andrea sent an email to each of us the day before our tour which reminded us of the tour, our meeting spot and time. She also noted that the tour would begin promptly at the scheduled time. She also asked if we had any dietary restrictions, food allergies or questions. I replied to her email asking for suggestions for places to visit after our tour had concluded. She responded promptly and gave us some helpful suggestions. Andrea cheerfully met us at the predetermined time. After introductions, Andrea gave us a brief overview of what we were to see, answered our questions and confirmed that there were no food allergies she needed to be aware of. We stopped at Faicco's Italian Specialties where we sampled soppressata and rice balls, a.k.a. Arancini in front of Faicco's. Both were excellent. As we snacked, Andrea gave us a history of the place. Our next stop was Bleeker Street Pizza. Andrea gave us a brief history before going in. We ate slices of of Nona Maria pizza. Then the previous owner, Greg Greenwood, joined us. He gave us a detailed history of the restaurant, which his brother, Captain Douglas Greenwood, opened in 2004. Captain Greenwood tragically passed away from 9/11 illness and ownership passed to Greg, who recently sold the pizzeria, although he still works there on Fridays. The pizza was fantastic! I will definitely visit again. As we walked through the West Village, Andrea gave us more history of the neighborhood, which included a home that was only 9 feet wide and a former speakeasy!! Our third stop was Hudson Bagels. where we shared two delicious, traditional New York bagels with cream cheese. Our fourth stop was Galanga, a Thai restaurant. We each had a corn fritter and Chicken Satay. I loved the fritters but thought the chicken was a bit plain. The fifth restaurant was Mamoun's Falafel. My boring palate did not enjoy this treat, but the others did. Lastly we had a cupcake at Molly's Cupcakes, opened by a former school teacher and schoolhouse themed. We each ordered different cupcakes, all of which were yummy. We ended the tour at our original meeting place. Andrea was wonderful, personable and informative. I inquired about other tours Andrea gave so that I can book another tour with Andrea.

But NYC has so much to offer especially in the way of food, so is smart to go with a real New Yorker.

Where to begin? Was…read moreit the Checker Marathon cab? The food? Was it (the not at all) Fat Dave? Some things are just ethereal. Not to wax poetic on YELP but Famous Fat Dave's Food Tours penetrates deeply. Food touches the soul, culture touches the soul, history touches the soul, and so experiencing all of that with Dave touched my kids and my soul. The 'food tour' had that intangible "what makes something special" in spades. I am a native New Yorker, transplanted to the West Coast 20 years ago. I came to NYC, with my 2 kids and one of their friends after my dad passed (3 weeks ago) to experience it in a way that we haven't before. As a native, I'd never thought I would consider myself a tourist, but keeping an open mind and wishing for a special experience for the (teenage!) kids, I signed up. Dave literally transformed our visit. Dave's passion for food reflects his passion for life. He's academic, Bohemian, a foodie, a great (vintage cab) driver, a local, and at your service with a smile. Give Dave the type of food you want (or don't want!), the area you want to visit (or don't want!), the length of time and experience you want (or don't want!) and he will accommodate. Dave is responsive by text, phone, or email. He's relaxed, professional, caring, thoughtful, organized, and super well connected with the locals. Dave will show you as diverse a food experience as you want. We went to 9 places throughout the City and Brooklyn, in about 5 hrs. That was a lot, but it flowed so well! There's a lot of eating, so he paces you - trust him - he's done this many times (with some of the most celebrated chefs in the world as well - check out his website.) We broke up the tour for some digesting and a change of pace by visiting Coney Island and chillaxing (teen lingo) at the Boardwalk for about 45 or so minutes. Perfect time to recharge and have some more fun with the locals. Eating the best pizza, Italian sandwiches, Asian soups, and desserts in NY, at the cozy, hole in the wall, locally loved favorites (with all the personalities that come with that!), we were more than satisfied at the end!! Dave's Food Tours is memorable in every way. Some things just have to be experienced. This is one of them. On behalf of my fam, and especially my Dad... thank you Dave. PS. Ask Dave what's splattered and stuck on his microwave's wall ... and what's in his freezer!! Bound to get a good story and smile!

Now the food part - the pizza was absolutely delicious. From Julianna's. The bagels - we sat overlooking the east river and the BQE. Our guide brought the bagels with cream cheese in her bag....a bit tacky. The falafel was eh. The hot chocolate was just ok - really not what you want on a 90 degree day. I also didn't like that no drinks were offered during the tour - just a bottle of water would have been just fine. I'm glad we took the tour. It was one borough I had been to only twice before. Didn't need the food.
