Ahoy New York Tours & Tasting invites you to join our walking food tour of Chinatown and Little Italy where you will engage in the history, culture, and cuisine of these two amazing NYC neighborhoods!
Chinatown and Little Italy once had immigrants coming to New York City for an economic opportunity, all worked hard to earn a living and to adjust to living in a new country and city. Understanding the story of the immigrants who once lived and are living in these neighborhoods truly brings these two neighborhoods to life. Ahoy New York Food Tours does just that. Today Little Italy has few Italian residents and Chinatown, is the largest Chinatown in the U.S. However, one will find that both neighborhoods hold onto their past roots and traditions.
Both neighborhoods also have amazing traditions of food. Little Italy still has shops over 100 years old. These shops continue to serve locals and visitors alike. One will find Italian cheeses, meats, pastries and imported specialties in these mom and pop shops. Chinatown has expanded since its initial start in the 1800’s and today one can find cuisines from various regions of China and South East Asia, such as Cantonese, Szechuan, Shanghainese, Thai, Vietnamese, Malaysian and Indonesian. The beautiful and fresh fruit stalls in Chinatown are also a great example of the Asian diversity that exists in present-day Chinatown.
