Neu Essex Food Market

Mary did a great job planning a route that includes a wide varieties of food-- SO much food!! She does share some history of the area and was able to answer several questions I had. This is such a diverse area with so many interesting places to point out that I highly recommend it for people who may know very little about the Lower East side. Thanks so much, Mary!

Excellent but a little fast walking

Alex was a fabulous guide really informative, well-planned route and delivery of the history of the area. We enjoyed it a lot. Well done , Alex

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic Lower East Side Tour with Jon! We had an amazing time exploring the Lower East Side with our tour guide, Jon. He knew all the best spots to visit—from hidden neighborhood gems to iconic landmarks—and brought the rich history of the area to life with fascinating stories and insights. What really made the tour stand out was Jon’s incredible sense of humor—he had us laughing the entire time! If you’re looking for a tour that’s informative, engaging, and a whole lot of fun, Jon is the guide you want. Highly recommend!

Great experience. Jon was very knowledgeable and had a lot of interesting details about the area we were visiting. He is entertaining and informative. Food was amazing. Everyone could decide what and how much he / she wanted to try or take. Anyway: Do come hungry. Highly recommended!

This was an amazing experience and we enjoyed every minute of the tour. The food was really good and visited special stores.

Really good tour, interesting and insightful. Alex was very helpful, ready to provide advice, recommendations, making sure nothing was left unanswered.

Jon was an excellent guide for this Lower East End Food Tour. He gave us historical perspectives and made suggestions for food choices at each eatery we visited. When the tour ended he was helpful with directions to the subway stop and told us to text him if we got lost. Great tour, great food and great guide!

Thanks Alex for this super exciting tour. It was a pleasure being your guest. Being at CBGB club made my (birth)day, it gave me chills as an all time Ramones girl. Ale at the pub was great and your knowledge about all of it is amazing. Will keep as good memory and take these impressions back to Germany

Wow what walk we had today with John. The food was local, excellent and cheap. We learned so much about the lower east side including culture, history and architecture. Well worth going.

Jon is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about his city. He knows a lot about history, architecture, culture around New York. We tremendously enjoyed this food tour. The food was EXTREMELY yummy!

John was an amazing tour guy. He had a huge knowledge about the history of the area which he explained in a fun way. We ate at great places that would be hard for us to find by ourselves. Highly recommended!

Excellent guide, Alex was knowledgeable about the area and the information he provided. Everything was great except for the cold weather. Thank you!

Alex wußte eine Menge über Historie und kannte alles Sehenswerte. Wir haben viel gesehen und fühlten uns sehr gut unterhalten. Wir freuen uns sehr auf die nächste Tour, die wir bei ihm gebucht haben Liebe Grüße, Agnes

Super tour ! Accès à des endroits dans lesquels on ne peut pas entrer sans Alex ! Je recommande

I can not stress this enough; BRING YOUR APPETITE! As we navigated around the city and Jon shared facts and laughs with us, we got to try SO MANY amazing things. I encourage you all to do the same thing I did and make a list so you can go back and have it again. Every single stop was worthwhile! Jon also told gave us tons of great recommendations for other places to eat, things to see, and tours to take. Jon is THE MAN!
