Joshua and Kevin are BRILLIANT in creating a perfect blend of tasty eats, history, and fun. Their LES and West Village food tours are so much fun and I can't wait to complete my Sidewalks of NY food tours with the food trucks!

I loved this. I wanted to see things and try foods and I did not want to be alone. I felt completely safe. The guide, Joshua, was awesome. He was friendly and so knowledgable. He picked out the best places to go and the best food to try. He let us take photos. I was amazed. I will do a... More

We saw Lion King, Sister Act, a live performance of Usher at the Today Show, went to the Top of the Rock, took a tour of Central Park, met Lieutenant Sulu from Star Trek, cruised around the Statue of...

Hi Jackie, We're so glad our Food Truckin' Tour - Midtown was the favorite part of the girls trip :) I had a blast guiding you to the most delicious food trucks and carts in NYC. Midtown and Union Sq. was bustling last Saturday with people literally dancing in the streets. Join us again on your next trip to the... More

My girlfriend and I took the Lower East Side food walking tour and loved it. We are NYC residents and have frequented the Lower East Side but never knew about all the great places there are to eat. We stopped at about 7 different locations and sampled more than enough food for a meal, and we were so happy to... More

I was so impressed by this tour to the Lower East Side. Our guide, Kevin, had personality plus, and was very informative about the culture and history of the neighborhood. He took us to a variety of tastings including food at authentic Jewish deli's. One in particular we tasted was pickled pineapple - the flavour was incredibly delicious with a... More

We visited New York this past weekend and took 2 of the tours from Sidewalks of NY Tours. The Food Truckin' Tour exceeded our expectations. I was always hesitant about eating from a food truck. Josh gave me all the assurance I need to try some trucks on my own. We also took the West Village Tour, which was good,... More

I didn't think I was interested in the Lower East Side, but Josh and the food were amazing. I mean every shop we visited was fantastic! The smells, the stories, and the flavors. I was really impressed with the tour guide. He was cool, informative, and very clear. We experienced a wide range of foods with a wonderful blend of... More

I've lived in NY for 6 years and I've recently taken 2 Sidewalk of New York Tours - the West Village in April with my teenage nephews and the Lower East Side with my husband and mother-in-law on Mothers Day. It's the PERFECT thing to do with out of town visitors. Both demographics loved the tours, and especially the food.... More

I took the Lower East Side Tasting Tour with Kevin as a guide and had a great experience. The information given was very informative and helpful and the food tastings were great. A really good variety of foods from pickled pineapple, to pizza, to doughnuts, etc. We also got a great map of the area with the locations we visited... More
