Would do it again - Excellent food and lots of history explained in a very conversational way. Enjoyed the experience. Jonathan is in New Yorker and knew a lot of back stories.

Great tour to learn all the history - Me and my sister had such a great time eating good food and receiving a fun history lesson. I always go on these tours because I love to hear the details of what I’m looking at and why it’s important. Claire definitely delivered on that and had such amazing stories to share. It was great learning about that side of NYC through her eyes. Would definitely recommend to everyone visiting!

Fantastic tour, very informative and fun - We recently took this tour and found it to be excellent in every way. Our guide, Jonathan, did a fantastic job. We learned so much about the history of not only Hells Kitchen, but also New York, during the food tour portion. Then, we toured a large amount of Central Park and learned quite a bit about its history. Highly recommend!

Great entertaining tour...Jake was fantastic guide! - My wife and I and our two sons (18 & 20) did this tour on the first day of our NYC trip and it was a great start to our trip. Our guide Jake was great - informative, entertaining and fun - and we had some great food along the way.

Great Day in Hell’s Kitchen! - Jake is amazing. So much energy — he loves what he does! We learned a lot, and we are from NY! And Hell’s Kitchen restaurants were terrific. Highly recommend this tour. The Central Park stroll was a nice way to end the day.

Great food tour of Hells Kitchen! - This is one of the best food tours I have ever been on and I love to take food tours. Claire not only made the tour very informative but also hilarious. Starting with the Japanese BBQ the food was amazing. I can’t pick a best stop because they were all top notch. Great food great variety and wonderful service.

We saw and learned about Time Square and its history. Then went to five restaurants, all delicious, and central park! - Claire was an excellent guide. She was very knowledgeable and made the tour so informative but not over the top. The restaurants in Hells Kitchen were delicious. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend the tour and if you are lucky enough to have Claire as your guide it will be even better.
