What You Will Do
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.

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.

Fun Food, Art & Architectural Midtown Tour
2025-04-26
Morgan is an exceptional tour guide. His local insider knowledge led us to savor delicious international food. His personal experience & historical details added insightful information throughout the 3 hr tour. Highly recommend.
Food, buildings, history, WOW!

Our guide was able to really roll with the punches when we told him of the health concerns, mobility issues and sisters restrictions.
All in all he was fantastic, so knowledgeable and experiences.
We eat some wonderful food and learned so much about the little section of the city.
It was fantastic!
Remember this is food and Architecture!
You can dial in and out what you want, but be aware you may be in a group that wants more ore less than what you do.

We had probably the most challenging group!
We had group members with food allergies, mobility issues (one person on a Jazzy scooter), needs for low salt diets, and hearing impairments.
And yet, our guide rolled with the punches and was fantastic.
I will say, recognizing this is a Food and Architecture tour means you’re going to get both!!
If you just want food I’m sure you can find that as well.
But we loved the tour, the patience and the food, and what a city to talk about architecture.
It was a pallet of color and flavor teed up for a true artist.
We eat bagel sandwiches, pizza, tacos, and a desert.
If we were more mobile we would have gotten more I’m sure.
But we loved the whole experience.
A hint I wish I would have thought of would have been to eat smaller portions and save room for later restaurants.
We came way hungry and probably eat too much too early.
Thank you for such a fun time and fantastic service, even down to the pocket napkins.
