Land-adventures in New York: Chinatown & Little Italy Bagel Tour

Imagine going from a neighborhood with genuine dim sum and Chinese dumplings to one with authentic Italian cheeses, olives, and Sicilian pastry!

Ben will show you the way to these delicacies and more delicious eats (including your own fresh garlic bagel) as well as the rich history of these adjoining landmark neighborhoods. Chinese and Italian immigrants first came to New York in the 1800’s and settled on these streets in lower Manhattan now known as Chinatown and Little Italy. Their cultural contributions are legendary and are still visible in these vibrant communities.

This 2 ½ Hour Little Italy and Chinatown walking tour includes:

• Narrated history of Little Italy and Chinatown
• A complimentary fresh garlic bagel, New York’s breakfast of choice
• Plenty of photo opportunities and insightful information
• And so much more!

On this walking tour, you’ll go from the largest Buddhist temple in New York City, a historic tea parlor, and the oldest street in Chinatown to America’s oldest cheese shop and oldest pizzeria still thriving in Little Italy (they’ve lasted this long for a reason). Come explore the historical, gastronomical, cultural and architectural sites of two of the most colorful neighborhoods in New York!

Bagel Tour Tidbits:

• Did you know? In the early 1900’s, when Chinese Tongs, or gangs, needed to run from other Tongs or the police, they escaped through tunnels, which are still there today but are currently used as office malls.
• Did you know? While the bagel was never a staple of the Chinese and Italian communities, Italy has its own version of the bagel — it’s called a Tarallo.

Isn’t it time you treated yourself to life’s mouthwatering treasures?
