    Wonderful Deli Experience

    Andrew_D, Mar 2026
    Nick the guide was great - very knowledgeable and entertaining, he made the tour really enjoyable. We learnt a huge amount that we would never have known otherwise and ate much more than we thought possible - the pickles in particular were very surprising! Thoroughly recommended.

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    I had so much fun showing you all around the neighborhood! Glad the deli food was such a hit.
