Food, Art, & Buildings of Midtown
Despite what a lot of people think, there ARE great, affordable places to eat in Midtown, and you’ll visit and learn about some of them on this food crawl.
Midtown is also one of the most important and awe-inspiring places on planet earth, and we not only move you through some iconic - and some lesser known - ambiances in an artful way that leaves you feeling full and satisfied, heart, mind, and belly.
BUT this is not your normal food tour. We don't follow a fixed route. Instead the experienced, licensed guide will get the pulse of the group and draw from a big bag of options to make each experience a little more personal, memorable, and unique.
We are always learning more about the city, and that's how we can run these organic events that are less scripted and more like an eclectic group of friends out for a food crawl in the city.
Wear comfortable clothes and be prepared to walk. We cover a lot of ground and often eat standing up.

What's included in Food, Art, & Buildings of Midtown
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
42nd Street
THIS IS A SAMPLE ITINERARY. We take input from the group, then draw from a big bag of options to make each outing unique. Our route changes from day to day, taking input from the group, guide, and city to create a one-of-a-kind experience. BUT we almost always crisscross 42nd Street with all its important sites and history.
The only Greek spot in the area, and a family-fun institution for more than 100 years. Spanikopita, baklava, strudel? If it’s made with filo dough, they do it, and they do it better than anybody else.
We frequently stop at this outstanding taco joint on 9th avenue, where the music and vibes are almost as good as the tacos.
