We took the food tour with Greg yesterday and it was great! It was a lovely walk paired with history and snacks. We went back to Stinky to shop; if we had more time we would have gone back to other places on the tour...More
Greg was brilliant-all the locations offered something different; included tasty food and drinks plus some great local knowledge. Fab way to see a new area of NYC (for us), and we’ve already been back to 2 of the places we visited. Loved it.
