New York City is the epitome of civilization and cosmopolitan development. It is a melting pot
for many different cultures, races and human beings. You will not find a more exciting city than
New York City. From the buildings, to the people and the businesses present, New York City
offers you a larger than life experience. You will get an experience that will remain with you for
the rest of your memorable life.
One of the easiest ways to sample all the cultures present in the city is to take a food tour
throughout the various neighborhoods and districts of New York. Your pallet will get to
experience the fiery foods and mellow wines that have inspired many a poet, and have fed the
bellies of warriors on their way to battle.
For those interested in taking a food tour of the city, there is good news to hear. There are
many companies that have specialized in offering foot and bus food tours throughout the city.
They are not as expensive as you would expect them to be. You will only have to carry a few
dollars with you for the experience of a lifetime. Some of these tours are packaged and the
tour guides will take you to restaurants with preselected meals for all tourists. Other food tour
companies will only show you the restaurants and eateries available, leaving you to explore and
eat whatever you want on your own coin.
If you do not want to pay for your food tour, then having a group of friends who know the
city well will come in handy. This is especially advantageous for college students who have to
survive on a shoe string budget. You can expect a lot of excitement and a lot of good food at
very competitive prices on your food tour. This is due to the fact that the presence of many able
and competent competitors has driven the prices of food in the city to delicious lows. This has
made it possible for virtually anyone with a few dollars in their pockets to sample good food
and go to bed on a full stomach.
The following are some of the places that you can go to in New York to fire up your pallet:
1) Chinatown
New York City has the largest Chinese population in the western hemisphere. You will find
many interesting and exciting food menus in restaurants and street vendors concentrated in
a fifty block radius in Manhattan. This is Chinatown, and your food tour will not be complete
without a visit to this old and venerable neighborhood that is home to some of the most exotic
foods in the city.
2) The Lower East Side
From wonderful delicatessens such as the Katz shop to the ability to get four dumplings for one
dollar, the lower east side is the go to place for those on a shoe string budget. You will be able
to enjoy pickles (the lower east side was once a Mecca for pickles), candy and spinach knishes.
Fun and excitement are what awaits you on a typical New York City food tour.
