Foods of New York Tours: The Best Food Tour Company in NYC!

Find out why Foods of NY Tours is the best tour company to choose.

New York City is one of the world’s greatest food destinations, choosing the right food tour can be overwhelming.

What differentiates Foods of NY Tours from the rest?

  • Todd Lefkovic (owner) created the walking food tour back in 1998 (that’s 28 years ago)!
  • Todd started researching the food and culture of NY back in 1977 when he was 15 years old.
  • Todd researched everything about NYC until 1998.
  • Todd placed a free test listing in NY Magazine to see if there was any interest in a food tour.
  • The free food tour listing in NY Magazine was a success.
  • Over 60 people left messages about the food tour on Todd’s answering machine.
  • Todd’s first official food tour was in April of 1998.
  • Todd gave food tours on the weekends for a year.
  • The demand for tours during the week was growing so Todd quit his full-time job in April 1999.

Since we have been giving food tours officially since 1999, Foods of NY Tours has more experience, more food establishment relationships, more site-down restaurant tasting spots on each tour, more customer reviews (10,000+ 5 star), more repeat customers bringing friend and family to get the FNYT experience, more long time tour guides, an office to help run the business and to take care of customer service/support, and continued food, cultural, and historical, experience than any other food tour in NYC. We also learned overtime to master the art of storytelling which adds to the overall tour experience.
