HISTORY MEETS ICONIC EATS AND STYLISH BOUTIQUES

Tucked off the beaten path between SoHo and Little Italy, NoLita (“North of Little Italy”) is where old-school NY charm meets modern downtown cool. As we stroll through the neighborhood’s tree-lined streets, your expert guide will serve up insider stories, hidden landmarks, the rich immigrant history, and the delicious hidden gems that we love, making this one of the most diverse food experiences in the city.

Find out where the name NoLita came from and when it became known for its charming cafes, restaurants, eateries, and boutiques. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned New Yorker, this tour is a delicious way to discover a side of downtown NYC most tourists miss.

FEATURES OF THIS TOUR: 4 indoor restaurant tastings (one with wine), and 2 on-the-go desserts. And plenty of time indoors to use a restroom!
