Overview

3 sit-down INDOOR tastings included with Foods of NY Tours!

Chinatown can definitely be intimidating, even for a native New Yorker! It’s a diverse neighborhood with historic landmarks, hidden side streets, delicious foods from all over Asia, and it’s home to one of the largest population of Chinese people in the western hemisphere. Join us as we share interesting stories, sights and delicious foods.

Where to eat in Chinatown can be overwhelming, so this is where we come in! Enjoy 3 mouthwatering sit-down tastings: 5 types of dim sum, authentic Peking Duck prepared as if you were in Beijing, and Malaysian street food. The tour also includes a modern and traditional dessert, representing two sides of a changing neighborhood. Join us for a memorable journey that will leave you with a deep understanding of the flavors, history, and confidence to navigate Manhattan’s Chinatown!

We visit 5 establishments, 3 of which we sit indoors with more tastings!
