Itinerary

  • 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.

    10 minutes
  • 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.

    10 minutes
  • 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!)

    10 minutes
  • 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.

    10 minutes
  • Next, we’ll head to Spongies Cafe to try a Hong Kong-style sponge cake paired with a sample of their homemade sweet Thai tea. The light, airy cake and the refreshing tea make for the perfect combination—a unique and delicious treat you won’t want to miss!

    15 minutes
  • 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.

    10 minutes
  • Piemonte Ravioli

    We’ll stop by Piemonte Ravioli, a family-owned pasta-making store that’s been a Little Italy staple for over 100 years. While we’re there, you’ll get to try their handmade potato gnocchi with a homemade marinara sauce.

    10 minutes
  • 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.

    20 minutes
  • 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.

    5 minutes
  • Audrey Hepburn Mural

    We’ll stop by Mulberry Street to see the stunning mural of Audrey Hepburn, a striking piece of street art that captures her timeless elegance in the heart of Little Italy.

    5 minutes
  • We'll next visit Caffé Palmero and try one of their famous Cannoli. 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.
