Read real, unedited guest reviews of the Nolita / NoHo Tour
Embrace cobblestone streets and enjoy downtown gems

Weave your way through the cozy corners of Nolita (the area North of Little Italy) where old-world charm meets a youthful, downtown vibe. Taste mouthwatering eats from undiscovered spots that specialize in traditional recipes and century-old techniques.

Walk the same streets as John Gotti and Martin Scorsese while visiting sites made famous by The Godfather. Learn about the colorful history of The Bowery (the original theatre district) and explore its dark and seedy past. Formerly known for flophouses, Skid Row bums and the legendary CBGB's music venue, this area has transformed into a mecca for posh hotels and delectable dining.

Get a glimpse of the cast-iron facades and cobblestone streets of NoHo (in the East Village) while continuing to taste from restaurants not found in your typical NYC guidebook. Examine the origins of NYC's watertowers, fire escapes and hallow sidewalks.

Taste Roman style pizza, Brooklyn blackout cake, authentic Mexican tacos and more. Between the bespoke boutique stores, cute cafes and remarkable restaurants, you'll want to move in... and never move out.
