Description:

If the United States is a melting pot, then New York City is a high-density microcosm, with vibrant immigrant communities and cultures all sharing space in the City that Never Sleeps. Taste your way through lively NoLita on this walking tour of the diverse flavors that color New York’s food scene.

NoLita—short for North of Little Italy—is one of Manhattan’s trendiest neighborhoods, packed with designer boutiques, hip coffee shops, and a vast array of casual and upscale ethnic eateries. Meet your guide and follow your nose as you seek out the sweetest treats and most satisfying dishes between Houston and Bowery, walking at a leisurely pace for approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) between stops.

Step into a gourmet food shop to nibble wedges of creamy European cheeses and authentic Italian delicacies like air-cured meats. Pass a plate of shareable, olive oil-scented Spanish tapas, and bite into the buttery crust and rich egg filling of a French quiche. At a Vietnamese café a little further on, try a banh mi sandwich—hearty French bread stuffed with barbecue pork, spicy mayonnaise, and crisp pickled vegetables like carrot and daikon.

A side dish of Mexican yucca fries rounds out the savory portion of your tasting tour, and an indulgent selection of fresh pastries, warm-from-the-oven cookies, and old-fashioned handmade candies brings it to a perfectly sugar-laced close. Don’t leave without quizzing your guide on more tasty gems to seek out in NoLita and beyond before you part ways.
