This is an experience gift voucher. The recipient will book the experience after they redeem the gift voucher.

Overview

Despite what a lot of people think, there ARE great, affordable places to eat in Midtown, and you’ll visit and learn about some of them on this food crawl.

Midtown is also one of the most important and awe-inspiring places on planet earth, and we not only move you through some iconic - and some lesser known - ambiances in an artful way that leaves you feeling full and satisfied, heart, mind, and belly.

BUT this is not your normal food tour. We don't follow a fixed route. Instead the experienced, licensed guide will get the pulse of the group and draw from a big bag of options to make each experience a little more personal, memorable, and unique.

We are always learning more about the city, and that's how we can run these organic events that are less scripted and more like an eclectic group of friends out for a food crawl in the city.

Wear comfortable clothes and be prepared to walk. We cover a lot of ground and often eat standing up.

  • 42nd Street
    THIS IS A SAMPLE ITINERARY. We take input from the group, then draw from a big bag of options to make each outing unique. Our route changes from day to day, taking input from the group, guide, and city to create a one-of-a-kind experience. BUT we almost always crisscross 42nd Street with all its important sites and history.
  • The only Greek spot in the area, and a family-fun institution for more than 100 years. Spanikopita, baklava, strudel? If it’s made with filo dough, they do it, and they do it better than anybody else.
  • We frequently stop at this outstanding taco joint on 9th avenue, where the music and vibes are almost as good as the tacos.
  • Rockefeller Center
    Built in the 1930s, Rockefeller Center has become one of the most iconic locations in New York - but the influence of this area goes even deeper than we know. We take some time to explore the art, architecture, and true reach of Rockefeller Center.
  • St. Patrick's Cathedral
    The most important and impressive Catholic Church in New York, St. Patrick's is a beautiful example of Gothic Revival architecture, and a truly impressive monument that opens the door to deeper themes of tribalism and cooperation in the history of New York. We frequently take a few minutes to step inside and stand in awe
  • Glossed over, or completely missed by most visitors to Midtown Manhattan, Vanderbilt Avenue is one of the most impressive places in the city. We often take a few minutes to slow down and look up on this short but overwhelming set of blocks.
  • Grand Central Terminal
    There are many secrets in Grand Central Terminal, more than anyone can learn in a day, let alone in a 3-hour tour. But we'll share some of the most compelling stories from this world-class building.
  • While inside GCT, we often stop by Joey Bats for a delicious pastel de nata, straight from Lisbon, Portugal.
  • Tudor City
    At the far end of 42nd Street is Tudor City, which looks out over the United Nations, the East River, and the ever-growing skylines of Queens and Brooklyn.
  • Stephen A. Schwarzman Building
    No trip through midtown is complete without a visit to the main branch of the New York Public Library, where there's incredible 'underground' story every visitor should know.
  • Bryant Park
    We often wrap up in Bryant Park, right behind the Library, a park with a rich past, present, and future.
