Highlights

Tasty Dumpling - We’ll start our food tour at the world-famous Tasty Dumpling where you’ll sample their pan-fried Pork & Chive dumplings. While you eat, your tour guide will teach you a few tricks of the trade about how they make their signature dumplings taste so delicious.
Mosco Street - On our way to the next food stop, we’ll visit Mosco Street. This street may be small but it plays home to some unique Chinese street art and also offers one of the best vantage points to photograph the One World Trade Center.
Doyers Street - Our next stop is at Doyer Street aka Murder Alley. Located in the heart of Chinatown, this street has a dark history and used to be the location where rival Chinese gangs would settle their differences back in the 1800s (don’t worry though, the street is very safe now!)
Yunnan Rice Noodle House - We’ll next pop in and visit Yunnan Rice Noodle House for one of their famous cumin lamb sticks. Tender marinated juicy lamb is grilled to perfection before they cover it in some of their signature secret spice rub.
Mei Lai Wah - Our food tour wouldn’t be complete without visiting Mei Lai Wah. This nearly 60-year-old restaurant is famous for selling the best Char Siu Pork Buns in the city. An absolute crowd pleaser, they make some sweet, spicy, and succulent pork before they stuff it inside a steamed Chinese Bao bun. This place is one of those ‘if you know you know’ spots, and it’s guaranteed to get your mouth watering.
Little Italy Sign - As we leave Chinatown and cross over into Little Italy, we’ll have an opportunity to stop at the ‘Welcome to Little Italy’ sign. This iconic spot offers the perfect location to take a quick picture in the heart of Little Italy with the Empire State Building in the background.
Caffé Palermo - We’ll next visit Caffé Palmero and try one of their famous Cannolis. They’ve been here since 1973 and has not only been recognized as offering the best Cannoli in the entire city but also the entire country. If you’re going to have one Cannoli in New York City, it has to be from Caffé Palermo.
Mulberry Street Bar - Next, we’ll take a quick stop outside of Mulberry Street Bar. This iconic spot may look familiar as it has been featured in popular mafia movies and shows including The Sopranos, Goodfellas, and The Irishmen.
Nolita Pizza - Our last stop will be Nolita Pizza, this popular pizza spot that offers some of the best New York-style pizza in the city. We’ll try some of their delicious cheese pizza with a thin and crispy base, homemade tomato sauce, and melted mozzarella cheese.

Good food and fun facts! - Ryan did an excellent job combining the food experience with history of the neighborhoods. Much better than the hit and miss method of doing it on our own. Ryan tours other neighborhoods, as well, and we will look him up again on a future trip to New York City.
