Adventurous Explorers Wanted

Pig Feet Walking Tours. Small, custom, private walking/subway tours lovingly handcrafted to your exacting specifications. You pick the neighborhood(s) and/or cuisine(s), and your tour guide constructs a bespoke walking tour geared to your precise interests. Chinatown, Little Italy, Lower East Side, East Village, West Village, Soho, Tribeca, Chelsea, NoMad, Murray Hill, Hell’s Kitchen, Times Square, Upper West Side, Upper East Side, Morningside Heights, Harlem, Spanish Harlem, Washington Heights, Jackson Heights, Woodside, etc., etc., etc. Adventurous explorers/eaters preferred. $50 per person per hour, all food included. Don’t know where to begin? Check out some sample tours below:

Dirty Old Times Square. In the 1970s, Times Square was a dangerous, exciting, gritty, intense, racially and s*xually diverse neighborhood frequented by both locals and tourists. Love it or hate it, you couldn’t ignore it. Most of old Times Square has been carefully obliterated by soulless office buildings and Walt Disney musicals, but there are still a few vestiges of its seedy past—if you know where to look. So let your guide take you back to the halcyon days when 42nd Street was the Deuce, Eighth Avenue was the Minnesota Strip, the Great White Way was a red light district, and the Crossroads of the World was ###-rated.

Swimming Across Canal Street. Today most people think of Canal Street—if they think of it at all—as the shortest distance between the Holland Tunnel and the Manhattan Bridge. But Canal Street is also a living remnant of New York City’s gritty, industrial, vice-ridden past. In the 1970s, it was an exciting milieu of artists, punk rockers, hip hoppers, squeegee men, s*x workers, Jewish radicals, and Chinese housewives. Though it’s gentrifying rapidly, there are still traces of its seedy history—if you know where to look. Along the way, we will make brief side excursions into Soho, Tribeca, Little Italy, Chinatown, and the Lower East Side. We will finish up with an (optional) sit-down meal in a Chinese restaurant with a shocking past. And we will answer the timeless question: was Canal Street ever really a canal?

Koreatown, Curryhill, And Beyond. Everyone knows Chinatown, Little Italy, and the Lower East Side. But how well do you know some of New York City’s more obscure dining destinations? In this walking tour, we will explore midtown’s surprisingly rich and varied cheap ethnic eating options, including Italian prosciutto, Russian pelmeni, Japanese musubi, West African cow feet, Korean fried chicken—and blood sausage, for the daring!—Indi/Paki chaat, and of course, Chinese pig feet. ALL FOOD INCLUDED.
