My parents were in town visiting this past weekend so I made a reservation for the Multi-Cultural Eating Tour for Sunday. I was amazed at the knowledge of our guide, Annie....and of how much there was to learn in such a small area. The tour mainly focused on the Jewish lower east side, Chinatown and briefly in Little Italy. And the tastings ranged from Dominican sweet plantains to dim sum to pickles.....w/ many others in between.
Being someone who has lived in the area for about 5 years, big onion gave me a wonderful peak into this city's vast history. My parents were not only impressed with the tour itself, but me...for coming up with such a wonderful idea. For all of you looking for something to do w/ a visitor in town or even a way to pass a couple hours......YOU CAN'T GO WRONG WITH BIG ONION TOURS!!!
Pros: educated guides, personable guides, inexpensive
