This food tour was amazing, Cale was our guide and was very good at describing all the history of Hells Kitchen. The food choices were superb! The cheese boat was an experience and highly recommend trying. I would recommend this food tour and look forward to doing another one when I visit in November. Cale, thank you so much for spending the time to speak about Hells Kitchen, you were the best!!

The type of restaurants and the food served was absolutely fantastic! Jake's story telling style was entertaining, and informative. He is a natural story teller. He wove food and restaurant details beautifully with the history of Hell's Kitchen.

Cale was a fantastic tour guide. Very knowledgeable about the city and the history of Hell’s Kitchen, the mafia, and the different neighborhoods. He was a great story teller and very personable. We stopped at 5 locations and ate delicious food. We were filled with food and fun memories by the end. Would definitely recommend.

New York has so much to offer and trying to figure out where to experience great food can be difficult. Taking this tour removes that guess work and provides an amazing opportunity to discover food and history. Our guide, Robin, was nothing short of amazing. Highly recommend!

Expect not too much walking, a lovely variety of food in hole-in-the-wall establishments, and a tour guide who clearly loves the history of his city.

Shelly_P, Dec 2025
The food was so good! Definitely do not eat anything before you go. Our guide Jake was perfect. It felt like he was an old family friend we got to hang out with for the day. All the stories about Hells Kitchen were interesting and well told. We loved everything about this tour.
richard_b, Dec 2025
Alex was an excellent guide- he was very enthusiastic about the history of Hell’s Kitchen and it was really enjoyable to sit and listen to the stories of old New York. This tour was especially interesting to us as Hell’s Kitchen was associated with Irish immigrants in the past.
We had 5 food stops- the cheese boat and the cauliflower were the stand outs for us… Although all was amazing. As far as we’re concerned, a trip somewhere is not the same without a food tour! Thank you so much Alex!
shelley_a, Nov 2025

This tour visited 5 food establishments in Hell’s Kitchen. The food servings were large and at the cookie bakery, we were allowed to choose any cookie flavor available. The guide was very knowledgeable of history and we learned a lot about this area of NYC.
Patricia_S, Oct 2025
We enjoyed our walk through Hells Kitchen with Claire. It was a fun way to spend an afternoon. Interesting stories and tales. Claire is an actor and was very animated in her story telling.
Sharon_L, Sep 2025
Traveled with partner and friends. Small group makes it much more enjoyable. Jake had lots of stories and information about Hell’s Kitchen as well as other recommendations for the City. Nice to try some different foods.
Nancy_G, Sep 2025
Great tour guide, Claire. Shared her knowledge (past and present) knowledge of the area with us. We visited a wide variety of restaurants in the tour...but started out with maybe too much food at the first stop to fully enjoy the other 4 stops. The Schmackary's cookies were amazing...we hope to go back there for some sweet treats! Overall wonderful tour!
