Full description
Discover the ever-evolving food carts of New York on a 2-hour walking tour of Midtown Manhattan, and explore New York through its street food scene. Step into an exciting world of diverse foods and food heroes, and hear stories about the past, present and future of this fast-changing culture. Enjoy 5 generous tastings of gourmet dishes along the way. Meet your guide in Bryant Park, then discover the city beyond its famous hot dog and pretzel stands. Sample an international buffet of culinary delights as you watch the people that manage to cram a full kitchen into an improbably small cart.

Great food truck selections! The food was delicious and there was a good variety. Come hungry! There was a nice overview of the history of street food vending in NYC as well as insights into current issues-regulations, cleaning, etc. It rained during our tour but it was still lots of fun.
