Bagels, Dumplings, Pizza & Tacos: A New York Food Adventure

A 3-hour culinary adventure focused on 4 iconic foods of New York: Bagels, dumplings, pizza & tacos.

We travel through some of the city’s most beautiful neighborhoods, exploring how these foods influenced the city, and how the city influenced these foods.

We’ll make a minimum of 5 food stops, but this ‘tour’ doesn’t follow a fixed route, instead drawing on input from the group, guide, and the city to pick a path through the rich field of options.

We cover a lot of ground on this tour, so wear comfortable shoes and prepare to see the city in a whole new light. By the end, you’ll be full – heart, mind, and stomach.

We meet at First Park, where the grid begins, and smack in the middle of a culinary hotspot. Our first food stop is usually just a few minutes away.

SAMPLE ITINERARY! We don’t visit the same places every time, given the wealth of choices we have available to us. Sometimes we start at Russ & Daughters, where the bagels are good and the decor sends you decades back in time.

From First Park, we’ll head south into the Lower East Side where bagels, dumplings tacos, pizza, and street art await.

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.

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.

A tiny dumpling outpost on Essex Street, North Dumpling is usually buzzing. It’s a fun place to grab our first round of dumplings, and we’ll probably eat them on the street.

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

Sometimes the line is too long, but if we hit it right, a slice from Scarr’s is always a good time.

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.

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

Hands down the best pan friend dumplings in New York. We gotta eat them standing on the street, but it’s absolutely worth it.

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

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