Lower East Side Pizza Tour by Like A Local Tours

Really enjoyed the Lower East Side pizza tour by Like A Local Tours. We had Justin as our tour guide and he was really great! Very informative and gave us a lot of history of the area we were in and each of the pizza places. The pizzas were fantastic! Would definitely recommend this tour for anyone who wants to try some amazing pizza spots in the Lower East Side!

Lower East Side Immigrant Food Tour

We didn’t know what to expect on this food tour and were pleasantly surprised by all of the history and fun facts that Seth made part of the tour. The food was great, but Seth really made it an experience!
