“This is not a mainstream, run-of-the-mill tour. Tom is the owner, lives locally, and has real relationships with the mom-and-pop shops along the route. You meet the people who put their heart and soul into their businesses. Highly recommended.” - Stephen P.

“If you want authentic — this is it. Well paced, incredibly informative, and some of the best food we’ve ever had in New York. We’re already planning to come back and do the mob tour next time.” - Sarah K.

“Tom was our guide and he was fabulous! A NYC local who shared lots of interesting facts about the places we visited. He was prompt in collecting our delicious foods and clearly had good relationships with the local eateries. Tom gave us tips for more food spots and even shared his musical talents with us. Highly recommend!” - Heather G.
