Join our Upper West Side Food Tour, a 2.5-hour guided walk through one of Manhattan’s most charming and historic neighborhoods. Along the way, enjoy six tastings from local favorites that showcase the area’s rich and diverse food culture.
You’ll start with a freshly baked New York bagel with cream cheese, then stop at a neighborhood pizzeria for a slice of pizza and warm garlic knots served with marinara sauce. Next, visit Zabar’s — a true Upper West Side institution — for a taste of their famous chocolate babka before heading to Gray’s Papaya for their iconic New York hot dog. The tour finishes at Magnolia Bakery, where you can choose between their signature cupcake or their well-known banana pudding.
As you explore the Upper West Side, your guide will share stories about the area’s history, culture, and architecture. You’ll also see an original Banksy mural hidden in plain sight and the real apartment building featured in Only Murders in the Building, a must-see for fans of the show.
Please note: The menu is subject to change depending on restaurant availability.
