Hi Guys
I was just wondering of anyone could recommend a food tasting tour of a neighborhood in New York. I have see a few online but not sure which to go for.
Also we are over for a few nights around the 11th - 13th June. Does anyone know if there is anything special going on around then such as special Comedy night or Jazz night??
Thanks in advance

I've done two of their tours...the Chelsea Market / Meat Packing district & the Greenwich village Tour. Here are the reviews I posted on their site.
I loved their tours...they are a bit pricey but their guides are excellent. Here are my reviews from their site.
Chelsea Market/Meatpacking Tour
I made the reservations because my mother loves the Food Network. It did not disappoint, in fact it surpassed my expectations and we were thrilled with our guide Samson. My mother is "mobility-challenged" and uses a scooter. Samson made sure she was not lost in the back and made every effort to accommodate her. Samson was knowledgeable, humorous and entertaining. For anyone who likes to combine food AND history, this tour should not be missed.
Greenwich Village Food & Cultural tour
Last October I took the Chelsea Market/Meatpacking Tour and it was very fun entertaining, & historically educational. Last weekend I took the Greenwich Village Food & Cultural tour. Another winner! Our guide, Michael Karp...having lived in the Village for many years, provided insight that was priceless...not to mention he probably could get side work in any comedy club. Highly recommended!

that is a link to a pizza tour, which would be right up my alley, personally. Sounds great!
