Nom and the City Food Tours

I have been on quite a few food tours and this one exceeded my expectations! Our guide, Meredith knew all the ins and outs of my own neighborhood– Astoria — so happy that I chose this tour to go on. Definitely going to check out her Staten Island tour this summer. Can’t wait!

I went to New York to visit a friend and thought it would be fun if we went on a food tour, since are both such foodies. Not only that, but I also appreciate a good dessert as much as the next person with a giant sweet tooth. This was actually my first time in New York, so I wanted to see as much as I could, and the East Village Dessert tour did just that. The East Village was charming, would have been an area I otherwise would not have gone, and was one of my favorite parts of the trip; I felt that I actually experienced the true New York, rather than the tourists’ version. The strolls along the streets were almost as delectable as the food we tried. I adored the tiny sticky bun shop we stopped in, and the organic chocolate chip cookies from the neighborhood coffee shop were to die for. The portions were perfect– it was not a sweet overload, and each place had such a different type of dessert that the variety was great. Our guide, Meredith was super sweet and smart, and made the experience very enjoyable. I can’t wait to go back and try a different tour to see what else other neighborhoods have to offer.

I recently went on a tour of the East Village with Nom and the City– what fun! Though I often go there with friends, the tour guide Meredith showed me history and restaurants I never knew existed. I liked that she not only showed us restaurants, but small bakeries and even groceries stores that have unique items.
The tour was a lot of fun, I recommend them to anyone!
