From managing Fortune 500 confectionery businesses, to buying gourmet chocolates for Bloomingdales, she’s done it all. Compared to other existing tours that focus on more common foods, CFT introduces tour guests to a vast offering of high-quality, artisanal foods and encourage them to support local specialty stores, farmers, and sustainable agriculture. We help people realize that there’s a lot more out there than the processed foods they encounter in mega-marts. « less

I booked this tour at the last minute almost as an afterthought since the East Village hadn't even been on my radar. So glad we took it. Fantastic neighborhood, definitely got a taste of some traditional New York foods, and Adrian was a great guide; informative, funny and helpful. We'll definitely be booking more tours the next time we're in... More

I took a food tour of Nolita. The guide gave us some information about the history of the area, including the original St. Patrick's and the former NYC police headquarters now a luxury condo home to celebrities. Even though I live in Manhattan and have some acquaintanship with the area, I discovered a variety of excellent eating places, including a... More

We did the Flavors of New York Tour and Susan was our guide. We were an intimate group from all over the US and had a blast! Susan is awesome and actually a chef and is so knowledgeable about different cultures, their history and what they lend to the history and food of the East Village. We explored the East... More

Our tour guide, Dan, was very knowledgeable and provided a great historical background of Manhattan and pointed out architectural landmarks along the way through visits through various ethnic foods. We were all very impressed with and happy with the tour. Luckily, the weather was perfect. As a group of folks that grew up with New York City as "their city"... More

I really enjoyed our tour of the lower east side. Our guide was friendly and knowledgable and I discovered some new favorite spots along the way. Great activity for a weekend morning.

A fantastic tour of the East Village. the food was almost an add-on and the tour would have got the same high rating without the eating. as a warning, egg creams are BAD and should be avoided! so is the strange over-sweet papya juice you get with the hot-dog. but, that was part of the experience, and isn't getting them...

My husband and I decided that we should learn a bit more about the place we have lived all of our lives. And what could be better-learning and eating? We took the NoLita tour on Saturday with Dan as our guide. He was fantastic, very knowlegdeable and entertaining. This tour took us to diverse eateries with ethnic specialties, some which... More

For my mom's birthday, we planned a surprise private birthday tour through City Food Tours. Before the tour, the company was fantastic about working with us to address dietary needs and general taste preferences. They are incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and creative, and it was super easy for us planning (I didn't have to do anything other than send emails!) On... More

My creative daughters, always thinking outside the box, came up with the idea of a NYC Food Tasting Tour to celebrate my 65th birthday and my husband was the generous donor.. Once they laid the foundation they had to find someone with the right expertise to help them bring it to fruition which is where you come in. Both of... More

A superb way to discover a district of NYC with a really well-planned food itinerary on top. Friendly and informed guide and well-chosen stops with lots of interesting architectural and historical information along the way. Highly recommended.
