What to expect

Discover the history of the Lower East Side and enjoy some delicious food with this tour!

One of the best ways to get a sense of a neighbourhood’s identity is through its food. Get a true reflection of how its past has influenced its vibrant present. Nowhere is this more visible than through its local dishes. To begin, step inside one of the Lower East Side’s cultural institutions run by the same family for over 100 years. Katz's Delicatessen serves up. Here you'll bite into their signature pastrami with mustard sandwich. Breakfast foods are an art in New York, so you’ll stop by a Dominican breakfast counter next to get a variety of what’s on offer in the locality. Then, you're off to a historic local market for a stop at a popular cheese shop, named the best in the US by Food and Wine magazine. With Chinatown right around the corner, you’ll stop by one of the newer additions to Chinatown and sample some of their specialities. This stop pays homage to another food brought over by Jewish immigrants that made the Lower East Side their home in the late 19th century. Try the delicious family pickle recipe passed down for generations.

For the final stop, you’ll get a taste of some of the Lower East Side’s delicious baked goods at a beloved artisanal doughnut shop.
