Feel like NYC is gobbling you up? Turn the tables during this 3-hour walking tour, during which you'll sample the sights, sounds, and culinary delights of Little Italy and Chinatown!
Starting from Old St. Patrick's Cathedral, you'll take a look back at a time to when these two vibrant neighborhoods were mostly Irish run, before heading south, where you'll pass by New York's first ever pizzeria. Arriving in Little Italy, you'll perhaps stop for espresso and a pastry, and will visit two popular fine food shops, featuring homemade pastas, and imported meats and cheeses.
As you make your way southward along iconic streets, you'll find yourself immersed in a world where cuisine is culture, passing kitchen shops and restaurants promoting their fare with Old World charm.
Arriving in Chinatown, you'll discover an altogether different world, rife with Chinese, Japanese, and Southeast Asian vendors and shops. You'll browse the Chinatown markets, finding exotic fruits and vegetables, Asian butchers, fish vendors, and of course lots and lots of noodles.
Exploring Mott and Mulberry Streets, you'll also find steamed dumplings, almond cookies, and barbecued duck beckoning from window displays, before walking past historic Columbus Park, and ending your journey at the city's oldest dim sum parlor.
During this fulfilling experience, you'll have the opportunity to enjoy numerous samplings, and the chance to purchase more if you desire!.
Certainly provides some food for thought, doesn't it?
