Shopping & Tasting Tour
This is New York's last neighborhood of family-run food shops that carry on old-world traditions.
We visit bakeries, butcher shops, fish shops, and classic Italian delis, sharing samples, stories, and secrets along the way, all culminating in lunch at Mario's, which has been open since 1919.
The tour is approximately 2.5 hours long (including lunch) and is available every Saturday and Thursday, starting in June 2025.
