Food Cart Tours of Midtown & Downtown
Discover the culinary creations of some of New York's best curbside kitchens!
Experience New York City street food beyond hot dog carts and pretzel stands. Join us for a strolling lunch in Midtown or Lower Manhattan to sample an international buffet of offerings, observe the constructive genius that cram full kitchens into improbably small carts, and hear the stories of their proprietors--from struggling immigrants to culinary school drop-outs, to former 4-star restaurant chefs. Along the way, learn about the history of the neighborhood, the history of lunch, and the challenges of running these thriving but feverishly demanding small businesses. You will never look at street carts the same way gain once you see - and taste - the delectable dishes that are crafted in these curbside kitchens.
