Full description

Immerse yourself in the food culture of Little Italy on a 2-hour tasting tour, and visit 4 different venues in the famous New York neighborhood. Every venue you will visit is more than a century old, and the tastings will make up the equivalent of a 4-course lunch.

 

Start at La Bella Ferrara, the delighting denizens of Little Italy since the late 1800s, and get some of its Italian Rainbow cookies. Then, visit the family-owned Di Palo's, the century-old Italian specialty food store operated since 1925, where making mozzarella has been a family tradition. The fresh mozzarella prosciutto and parmesan cheese you'll taste and would love to go back for more.

Then, go to Nolita Pizza to experience their high quality services and delicious pizza using important Italian cheese. Along the way to Ferrara Bakery, your guide will point out movie locations from blockbuster films, such as “The Godfather,” “Donnie Brasco,” “Mean Streets,” and “Sex and the City”.

 

Next, see the bootlegging depot from the days of Prohibition, and discover a square named after New York’s first Italian detective. Finally, peek inside St. Patrick's Cathedral to see where high-profile weddings and memorials take place before concluding your tour.

Our tour guide was awesome. The stories and history he told along the route we took made the day for us. He had some amazing stories on authors and musicians and songs and the history of New York that we never would have heard anywhere else. This was truly a great afternoon and the food was good too. We did the cupcake tour with him and enjoyed that throughly as well.

Whe enjoyed our guide's knowledge of the history of the area. We went to a Chinese bakery and the cake there was so light and delicate you hardly knew you had eaten it. It was sweet but not overly sweet. We were glad that the guide included this experience even though it was not Italian. The food was fabulous!

The Broadway tour was amazing from start to finish. Our guide, Keith was engaging with everyone throughout the tour. The story of how the different theatres get their names, the process of a Broadway show on how the production starts from rehearsal to tech, to preview week and opening night. He gave personal examples from his time in Broadway productions. Stories of various actors on Broadway and his personal interactions with them. Out of everything we did while in NYC this tour was in my top two things we did, the other was seeing Hades Town on Broadway. Keith was the BEST! He paid particular attention to my son, Chris who is about to graduate with a Stage Management degree. Giving tips and even stopping one of the crew coming out of a show so Chris could talk to them and get more information. Ask for Keith!
