BLVD Bites and Sites

BLVD Bites and Sites offers guided walking food tours that pair local cuisine with history, art, and small‑business discovery. The company produces three distinct experiences catered to different tastes and timeframes: Tehachapi Bites, a 1‑mile downtown walk with five unique food stops, murals, and historic stories; Short & Sweet Tour, a two‑hour Food Tour 101 with 3–4 restaurants, two shops, and a museum visit; and Lancaster BLVD Bites Tour, a longer 3.5‑hour excursion featuring local restaurants, shops, a museum stop, and a beer or cocktail taster.
Tours operate with an emphasis on intimate groups and family accessibility. Several tours limit participation to small groups (up to eight participants for listed experiences), making visits conversational and easy to navigate. Routes highlight public murals, architectural points of interest, and museum exhibits that contextualize the food and neighborhood culture.
BLVD Bites and Sites works directly with local restaurants, retailers, and cultural institutions to assemble each itinerary. Guides introduce participants to menu samples, share historic tales about downtowns and landmarks, and point out local artistry and museum collections. The combination of curated food stops, short walking distances, and scheduled museum visits aims to create a relaxed, informative outing suitable for visitors and residents alike. The company’s focus on small groups, clear itineraries, and partnerships with local venues supports a dependable, family‑friendly tour experience.
