Eager Tourist Insider’s Food Tour of Chinatown NYC
First founded in the late 1800’s during the early days of Chinese immigration to America and having fully blossomed in the mid-80’s, Manhattan’s Chinatown is one of the most storied and colorful districts in NYC. Between Canal Street east Broadway and winding alleyways of downtown Manhattan sits an authentic sliver of the Big Apple that is a rare sight as mass uniformity and gentrification spreads through the city rapidly.
This is why we’ve partnered up with Shanghai-born and NYC-based chefs to offer you an insider’s tour of the speciality food stalls, restaurants, bakeries, produce stands and markets in Chinatown Manhattan. Guests will start off with a short introduction into the history of Chinatown and quickly move onto a walking tour that will offer tastings of rare and exotic fruits, Chinese teas, street vendors dishing up favorite local delicacies, and access to hidden gems, art spaces, parks and oddities that only an expert chef would know about.
The tour includes:
Intro to the current landscape and cultural importance of Chinatown and learning about exotic produce and cooking methods practiced in China
Tasting of seasonal rare and exotic fruits at three different outdoor markets
Tasting of two authentic dishes
Tasting of speciality Chinese tea
Insider chef as your guide and the chance to ask questions about medicinal Chinese gastronomy
Complimentary box of tea brand upon the tour’s completion
