Tour Stops

Here's A List Of All The Stops We Made On The Lower East Side Tour

Katz’s Deli

The oldest deli in NYC is a must destination. A staple of the city since 1888, this family-run deli is the perfect place to try the highest-quality meats the world has to offer. Any meat you have in this deli will have been cured for 30 days, as opposed to the standard 36 hours in most other stores. You have to taste it to believe it! The pastrami, well, that’s legendary.

Russ and Daughters

One of the oldest restaurants in all of New York City, this spot started in 1914.  It is the first known establishment in America with the “and daughters” name. Try one of the many delicious sweet and savory dishes! We test drive the former on our walking food tour.

Economy Candy

This is the oldest retail candy shop in New York City. Find all different kinds of candies here, in any shape or color. Take a look at some awesome merch and trading cards, too!

Vanessa’s Dumplings

Opening in 1999, Vanessa’s has kept up Chinese dumpling traditions, while simultaneously popularizing the food. Learn about Chinese culture while tasting these delicious dumplings!

Pickle Guys

Pickled olives, peppers, tomatoes, and more are available here.  We obviously dive into the pickle world. As the last pickle store left on Essex Street, Pickle Guys has kept the traditional methods of pickle making alive in New York City. Take a break from factory pickles, and have some made the right way!

Kossar’s Bagels and Bialys

Get a taste of Poland with Kossar’s Bagels and Bialys. In business since 1936, Kossar’s serves some of the best bialys in New York City. Not exactly sure what a bialy is? You’ll find out! By the way — their cream cheese is heavenly!

Doughnut Plant

Founded in 1994, this innovative location has been responsible for the creation of numerous doughnuts. Ever heard of a Creme Brulee doughnut? Well, Doughnut Plant was the first to do it! Learn about all of the delicious trends that began in these kitchens, while tasting the deserved hype at the same time.
