To many, the Hasidic world is shrouded in mystery and secrecy—well, not anymore. On this experience you get to see first hand the daily lives, rituals and customs of the Hasidic community, guided by a member of the community. Being able to access places seemingly closed off and hidden to the outsider. An opportunity to be able to ask any and all questions about the Jewish faith, culture and philosophy. We kick off the experience inside a Hasidic home, and learning about what it takes to keep a Kosher home. Then its off to the streets of Crown Heights, starting with exploring the world famous “770” Synagogue, getting a glimpse into the hustle and bustle of daily prayer services. Next stop is a Jewish scribe, seeing up close the intricate details involved in producing the Torah Scrolls. Followed by a walk down the avenue, visiting the local shops, and seeing the traditions dating back to the early 1800’s. If you don’t see availability for when you would like to join, please message us and we will try to accommodate. The experience will be hosted by Yoni or Mayer.

Experience the real Brooklyn with me! Many people want to visit Brooklyn but just don't know where to start. I am here to change that: I will show you five completely different sides of Brooklyn in five different neighborhoods. You will get an overview of New York City's most populous borough, and I will introduce you to Brooklyn's history, culture and people. Covering five different neighborhoods, this is the most comprehensive Brooklyn tour available. You'll get to see how diverse Brooklyn truly is when I show you classic Brooklyn brownstone architecture as well as the 'hipster' side of Brooklyn, street art and vintage shops, hidden bars, amazing Manhattan views, an Orthodox Jewish community and grand historic homes. To be able to show you as much of this giant borough as possible, we are using the subway three times on the tour, but this will give you time to sit down and take a break in between exploring the various neighborhoods on foot. See "Where we'll be" for the neighborhoods we're visiting on the tour. Other things to note -If you book a private tour, I am able to accommodate specific requests for neighborhoods / sights to include. -Bring a valid MTA subway ticket (ideally a weekly card with unlimited rides) and wear comfortable shoes.

Established in 2014, me and my team have proudly been the first to operate Speakeasy experiences in NYC. We will take you to 3 completely concealed and hidden establishments. All 3 locations are completely hidden, no obvious bars in between. Some through vault doors with a required code and some that are down an alleys with multiple doors where you would need to know which door to open. Some even have all the drinks still in tea cups in case the police would raid them back in 1920's and was featured in the TV show Boardwalk Empire for its historical accurate decor and atmosphere. We provide historical facts by history teachers with educational and tour guide licenses. Our facts are solely from cross referenced academic sources. We furthermore work in conjunction NYC City Hall and the NYC Hall of Records to ensure the authenticity of the historical claims by each establishment we visit. This experience is available in French, Italian, German, Spanish and English. Please make sure to submit a request in a message if you want the experience in a different language.

You will receive a unique experience on this walking food tour through Manhattan's Chinatown.

Throughout the experience you will taste three neighborhood favorites. Please note: - You should come with an appetite and wear comfortable shoes. The sidewalks are narrow and not always even. - Please contact me for information regarding accommodations for dietary restrictions.

New Yorkers know that the East Village is the city's very best neighborhood for food and drink, with hundreds of restaurants offering food from every region of the world. Our tour gives you a taste of the delights that can be found here, and along the way, we'll tell some delightful stories about the businesses we visit and fill you in on a little of the area's unique history. First up are Ukrainian varenyky. This is a somewhat hidden spot in the basement of a side street that few tourists (or New Yorkers) are aware of. We will then make our way over to St. Marks Place where I talk a little about the importance of the street and the many changes its seen over the years, and have a taste of a classic street food originally from the Middle East. Next we walk through adjacent Little Japan. I talk about how it became such a destination for lovers of Japanese food and culture before we try a distinctive dish from Japan. Fourth we have take down some tacos as I talk about the evolution (and great improvement) of Mexican food in NYC. Finally, we end at local institution Ray's Candy for some deep fried oreos. All food is included in price. This tour is great for groups of all sizes -- couples, friends, families. It's also a fun option for work teams and great for team-building.

Join your fellow sandwich lovers on this fun, delicious and thought-provoking food tour as we feast on amazing sandwiches in New York City.

On my Brooklyn Pizza Walk, I will take you on a stroll through Williamsburg, Brooklyn's trendiest neighborhood, and introduce you to some of New York's most delicious slices along the way. I created a tour that combines two things: sampling pizza while getting an introduction to one of New York's most iconic boroughs: Brooklyn. You will get to sample five different types of pizza, showing you that Brooklyn has more to offer than just the classic New York slice! You will learn what makes New York pizza so special, and while we are walking through Williamsburg, I will also tell you everything you need to know about the history of pizza in New York. In total, you will sample six different kinds of pizza at five places on my Brooklyn pizza tour. My Brooklyn Pizza Tour is 100% vegetarian-friendly. ***Message me about additional dates for Summer 2022!***

I will show you the contrasts of one of Brooklyn’s most popular neighborhoods: Williamsburg. What used to be a blue-collar industrial neighborhood has transformed into a lively, artsy area packed with restaurants, trendy shops and bars. There are two vastly different sides to Williamsburg: the cool, hipster part that has made the neighborhood a “must go” place for anyone visiting New York City, and the Orthodox Jewish community, which is a stark contrast to the young and fashionable part of Williamsburg. During this 3-hr tour, I will introduce you to both sides of this diverse neighborhood. I will show you some of the best spots to shop, eat and drink in Williamsburg (with a focus on small, locally owned businesses), some of the most striking murals and street art, and show you one of the best Manhattan skyline views. You will get to know the best independent boutiques in Williamsburg, vintage shops, the best places to grab a coffee, and you’ll know where to grab a slice of a classic New York pizza. After an introduction to Brooklyn and learning about Williamsburg’s history, we’ll move on to the lesser-known side of this neighborhood: the Hasidic Jewish community. You will learn about one the largest Orthodox Jewish communities in the world, gain a better understanding of this deeply religious group, and get an insight on the unique traditions and customs of Hasidic Jews.
