Chinatown's History and Food Experience

You might want a nap after this tour! Be prepared for a large amount of delicious food, a good long walk, and a generous helping of history about one of the key neighborhoods in New York. Most Chinatown Food Tours stick to a few well-touristed streets and common tales of the last century, but we go much deeper, exploring how the neighborhood became what it is today. It's a feast on a few different levels. Eat generous portions at 5-7 restaurants, enjoying an array of dumplings, bao, egg rolls, desserts, and more, curated to average Western palates. Explore the whole neighborhood, catching the top sights, bustling markets, and gritty, lived-in beauty. We'll wander down several hidden paths, going much further into the neighborhood than most visitors ever get. Discover the epic struggle of the Chinese in America, and the modern challenges facing the neighborhood, and travel back in time to the 1600s and beyond to unravel how this incredible area defines New York.
