New York Car Rentals and the Foods of New York Tour
The Foods of New York Tour will give you an opportunity to take a food tasting and cultural walking tour through some of New York's historic neighborhoods, making you feel like a real New Yorker, not a tourist. Make sure you put on some comfortable clothes for this, you will leave your New York car rental behind to walk through some of these delicious tours.
Taste the difference
Each of the tours will take you to one-of-a-kind specialty shops and ethnic eateries, giving you a piece of life in New York while you are visiting with your New York car rental. Not only will you experience the food of the tour, but also the history, culture, architecture, and entertainment. One of the great things about this tour: if you take it at the beginning of your stay, then you can come back to these restaurants while you are in town with your New York car rental.
Tasty offerings
There are a few different tours for you to choose from. There is original Greenwich Village walking tour. When you leave your New York car rental behind in the Village you will wander the streets of this neighborhood to taste some of the specialties at mom and pop shops and Italian eateries.
Then there is the Chelsea Market/Meatpacking District tour. This tour takes you through the two old industrial areas that are now New York hot spots. Even though a name like "Meatpacking District" may not sound too appealing, it is fast becoming a destination for gourmet food shops, ethnic restaurants, boutiques, and high energy nightlife. This tour will take you through seven food shops, giving plenty of reasons to come back with your New York car rental.
There is also a brand new Central Greenwich Village/SoHo food tour, combining food from two very distinct New York neighborhoods. One of the neighborhoods is vibrant and exciting, while the other is quaint. Although this tour is similar to the Original Village tour, they do not go to the same restaurants.
Planning your walking tour
These food walking tours fill up fast, so you should book in advance of your stay with your New York car rental. As mentioned before, it is often a good idea to go near the beginning of your trip so you can go back to any restaurants that you enjoyed. You wont just be walking around, but you will also experience life in the neighborhood as well as learn about the history, culture, architecture, and entertainment of the area which you are touring. The tours are limited to 16 people, and take about 3 hours. You will be walking for most of this time, stopping for brief periods to sample food before making you way to the next stop. Be sure you are prepared for the weather and walk.
