About

We are the most unique food tour in New York. We are a true eating tour, not a sampling tour! Choose what you like and eat as much as you like. Food On Foot Guided Tours takes you beyond the tourist attractions to the largest buffet in the world, New York. You'll share our passion for all things New York and you'll travel the way New Yorkers do, by subway and/or foot. And you'll enjoy great reasonably priced non-gourmet quality food away from the tourist areas. We also are known for providing unbiased restaurant recommendations during a break on each tour to help our guests eat great and save money for their whole trip. To experience a culture one must experience their cuisine and since New York is the melting pot of the world, its vast array of cuisines is its shared culture.

Our tour is a QUALITY FRESH FOOD EATING TOUR. It is NOT a sampling, gourmet or food preparation and information tour. Unlike standard sampling food tours YOU CHOOSE YOUR OWN FOOD and you have the option of pre-paying for a food credit with Platinum Tickets or paying as you go with Gold Tickets & SuperSaver TIckets. Most people average about $20 for food on the tour based on sharing, not including beverages and the tour will replace a meal. Each guest needs to arrive at the check-in with a one-ride (if staying in the Times Square area), two-ride or unlimited METROCARD (subway pass) and since this is first and foremost an eating tour we want you to experience the city and its eateries the same way New Yorkers do. That means THERE ARE WAITING TIMES for food to be prepared and for people to finish. That’s why we are a relaxed informal getting-to-know other people, see neighborhoods mingling tour. You experience NY as a local. We are not a small group or private tour (our groups go up to around 40 people when sold out). We are an eating tour with some neighborhood history and NOT a history tour with food. If you love choosing what you eat, meeting other people (although you don't have to) and taking in a non-tourist area this tour is for you.

Each stop is a surprise but you are not obligated to purchase items at any location. Because we go to permanent locations we cannot change the geography and “move” the shops, so there is no set order such as savory to sweet or smaller to larger items. There are usually many choices at each location. Many of our stops are at smaller places so there is both inside and outside eating on each tour and walking with food. Remember, we are FOOD ON FOOT so many places do not have seating and bathrooms are available but limited on each tour. Please remember our tour includes the subway (most NY subway stations are not handicapped accessible) and plenty of walking. If you are handicapped please call us to find out how we might be able to accommodate you. Part of the tour time involves traveling and a tour introduction period. Tours are rain or shine. Tour times are usually accurate within 15 minutes but we cannot control circumstances such as mass transit or unexpected restaurant issues that are out of our control.
