Highlights
  • Katz’s Delicatessen - What is there to say about this spot which When Harry Met Sally… made even more famous.

  • Lower East Side - Stroll. Learn. Nosh. Now you can explore an up-and-coming hip neighborhood that’s rich in history and stacked with infamously famous eats.

  • Vanessa’s Dumpling House - Vanessa’s Dumpling House has the most delicious pork dumplings. Happy to substitute to veggie for those who don’t eat pork. You won’t believe how good these are.

  • Essex Street Market - Stop and shop (if you wish) at Essex Street market but before you do we visit my friend Saad who gives us a tasting of Balsamic Vinegar and Olive Oils at his Essex Olive & Spice shop.

  • The Pickle Guys - The Pickle Guys pickles almost everything. We try three of their top sellers. They’re sweet. They’re sour. They’re awesome.

  • Economy Candy - Economy Candy has been around since 1937, dishing out chocolates, nuts, gummies and the candy so many generations have grown up on.

  • Kossar’s Bagels & Bialys (LES) - Kossar’s Bagels - you bet your babka you’ve never tasted bagels or bialys like this before. And the cream cheese? It’s the best I’ve ever had. Ever.

Phil and Ann from Troy, MI - It was a great tour. David was a great tour guide, knew his cultural and neighborhood history. NYC Revealed should follow him on a tour for one of their shows.
