New York: Little Italy Food Tour (English/French Guide)

Walk and taste your way through
4 century-old Little Italy venues with a guide

Walk through Manhattan's Little Italy for 2 hours with a licensed guide and visit 4 venues that have been around for more than 100 years. Each stop has tastings prepared, so by the end of the tour you'll feel as full as after a 4-course lunch. Your guide shares the history of Italian immigrants who came to New York in the early 20th century and the food traditions of family-run shops.

Taste cookies and cheese at La Bella Ferrara and Di Palo's

Start the tour at La Bella Ferrara, loved by Little Italy residents since the late 1800s, and taste Italian rainbow cookies. Next, visit Di Palo's, an Italian food store operating since 1925. Mozzarella-making has been a family tradition here for generations, and you can taste fresh mozzarella, prosciutto and Parmesan cheese.

Taste pizza at Nolita Pizza and pass film locations

Then head to Nolita Pizza to taste pizza made with signature Italian cheese. On the way to Ferrara Bakery, your guide points out film locations from movies such as "The Godfather", "Donnie Brasco", "Mean Streets" and "Sex and the City".

See traces of Prohibition and St Patrick's Cathedral

See Curb Exchange, used as a bootlegging depot during Prohibition, and a square named after New York's first Italian detective. Finally, peek inside St Patrick's Cathedral, where high-profile weddings and memorials take place, before the tour ends.
