Discover NY's Best Curbside Kitchen's
Join us for a strolling lunch in Midtown Manhattan to sample an international buffet of offerings, observe the constructive genius that cram full kitchens into improbably small carts, and hear the stories of their proprietors--from struggling immigrants to culinary school drop-outs, to former 4-star restaurant chefs. Along the way, learn about the history of the neighborhood, the history of lunch, and the challenges of running these thriving but feverishly demanding small businesses.
For: Anyone who enjoys sampling a wide array of delicious food, is interested in the past and present of the mobile food vending industry, and the culture of New York City's sidewalks!
Cost Includes:
6 tastings (you'll be more than full), your Food Cart expert guide, neighborhood map, and water

A delicious and informative lunch break!
Before I went on this tour, I thought that most of the food carts in the city were from the same company because they all seemed to have the same generic pictures on them. It turns out that they all park in the same place and there's a guy that sells them generic looking food pictures! Brian helped us navigate to the best food carts and told us stories about the chefs / people behind them as well as regulations / history of food carts in general! You'll be stuffed with delicious food at the end of it and know so much more to boot!
