Chinatown & Little Italy: Tastes of Yesterday and Today – Food Tour
Come stroll with us through Chinatown and Little Italy, skipping Canal St. and other tourist thoroughfares, and instead heading to twisted back streets packed with foreign foods, sights and sounds. We will explore these famous ethnic enclaves as they’re meant to be experienced: letting delectable food be our ambassador.
Our food stops will be myriad: Chinese-style beef jerky, steamed soup dumplings, lychee nut fruit, fresh mozzarella with prosciutto and, of course, cannolis for desert. A delight for all five sense, visitors will feel transported to another part of the world without ever leaving Lower Manhattan. Join us and experience the stark contrasts of Chinatown and Little Italy–vibrant immigrant neighborhoods ever in transition.
