We meet at Essex Street Market. What follows is a SAMPLE ITINERARY, as we vary our route and stops depending on input from the group.

The oldest bialy bakery in The United States, Kossar's has a colorful history and they make great food. If we don't stop at Russ & Daughters, and maybe even if we do, we might stop here.

Family-owned and operated for almost 100 years, Economy Candy is a colorful and enjoyable stop. They have candy from all over the world, and candy you might not have seen in decades. Great fun. No purchase necessary.

We'll take a few minutes to appreciate the art, architecture, and culture of the Lower East Side and the immigrant groups that built it. This truly is one of the most visually stunning and historically important neighborhoods in America. And the food is incredible.

We often stop at El Cabron, where the tacos are real and delicious. Grab a beer or a Margherita if you want!

We'll pass through Chinatown, take in the sights, and eat some dumplings.

Hands down the best pan friend dumplings in New York. We gotta eat them standing on the street, but it's absolutely worth it. Learn the history of dumplings and Chinatown as we eat.

Columbus Park is a well-used and vibrant park with a rich history. We often end our tour here, or nearby.

If we aren't full already, we might make our way to the exception slices at Nolita Pizza.

Freeman Alley is a Mecca of graffiti and street art. It changes every day. If you like bright colors and beautiful imagery, you should see it at least once.
