Jake did a great job showing and describing Hell’s Kitchen’s past and present. The restaurants he chose were from “around the world” and all very tasty - all of his favorites. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Manhattan Walking Tour again.

Tour guide Dena was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. She provided lots of information and tid bits of knowledge we didn’t know. Variety of food was great, and it was nice learning about food in different cultures. Would definitely recommend this your, and especially with Dena!

My sisters and I spent a fabulous afternoon with Robin of Manhattan Food tours following the route of the Hell's Kitchen tour. The food stops each represented a different culture. They were plentiful and delicious. We had hanger steak at the Japanese BBQ, Puerto Rican/ Indian fusion, Georgian cheesebread and assorted Mediterranean appetizers. The dessert stop was not the last stop, but we didn't eat it and saved it for the end. Along the way we heard the history and stories of Hell's Kitchen - the gangs, the architecture and celebrities that have called Hell's Kitchen home. I highly recommend this tour if you are looking for a fun afternoon that will include a great lunch (you won't need a big dinner).

A wonderful tour of Hells Kitchen, giving both history of the area and details on the food we were eating. The guide was very knowledgeable and genuinely loved the places we visited. I highly recommend this tour.

Alex was great! We went on the Hell's Kitchen tour and Alex did a great job telling us about the area and leading the tour. The food stops were all great and introduced us to places we likely wouldn't have discovered on our own. We'll look for other tours with Alex when we visit again!

We had a great experience with Hell's Kitchen food tour. Easy to locate met up spot. Robin was ready to show us the local vibe and eats. She provided Interesting histories, neat local stories, pointed out historic buildings, and had some people watching too! We experienced Asian, local cookie treat, Mexican, Georgian, and Mediterranean! I enjoyed them all but Cheeseboat (Georgian) is one of my new favs! Will go back given the chance to tryout Robin's other recommendations on or near Restaurant Row.

Highly recommended tour and guide for the stories and getting to know the history of Hell’s Kitchen and NYC. The food sequence and selections could be better. First, when you get you cookie at the second stop - SAVE IT -DONT EAT IT UNTIL THE END. Nonetheless, eating it second did not overwhelm the Taco Majal - delicious. The Georgian cheese boat was interesting but cheesy and SALTY. The last stop was Mediterranean pita, hummus, tzatziki and stuffed grape leaves - would have preferred tasty pastries with an espresso to finish. Despite the need for improvement, Alex saved the tour with his stories.

David Turk has it all- charm, knowledge, follow through, intelligence, gratiousness, and love of NYC. The restaurants he took us to were all unique and special and the restaurant staffs had an obvious affection for Dave. Take the food tour in Greenwich Village or any of the other tours Dave leads and you will not be disappointed.

We had a fantastic experience on this small group food tour! All of their tours are small but this one was really small- just three of us! It felt like a private tour which was even better! It took us to five delicious restaurants, each offering amazing bites! It is a lot of food so come hungry! Beyond the food, we loved hearing the stories behind each spot and learning more about the local community—it added so much depth to the experience. Our guide, Dena, was wonderful. She shared so much interesting information along the way and made sure we felt taken care of from start to finish. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore great food and local culture in Hell’s Kitchen!

Amazing tour!! Learned so much about the history of Hells Kitchen. Alex was a phenomenal story teller!! He was full of fun facts and ready to answer every question. The group size was perfect. Just the right amount of people to not make it feel crowded or overwhelming. We got to try some DELICIOUS food and even went back the next day to one of the restaurants to try more things. Definitely recommend!

We booked a food/walking tour of the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood of Manhattan as company outing. Our tour guide Robin was punctual, friendly and full of local knowledge! She came prepared with photos of "the old days" and explained the pace of the tour up front so we knew what to expect. The restaurants were prepared for our arrival and highlighted the diverse - and VERY delicious - flavors of the neighborhood. Robin was able to keep a large group engaged and moving on a super hot day. In addition to the history of the neighborhood, Robin, a former entertainment journalist, shared interesting facts about the celebrities who called Hell's Kitchen home. Overall, I recommend Manhattan Walking Tours and especially our tour guide Robin. I'd love to take her other tours - Greenwich Village and Lower East Side.

We had such a great time on this food tour with Jake! From the second we met him, his energy was absolutely contagious. Imagine if a golden retriever became a Broadway foodie historian 😄 Super friendly and genuinely excited to show everyone around Hell’s Kitchen. The food stops were all really good, and what surprised us most was how much interesting history and Broadway knowledge was mixed into the tour. It never felt like we were just hopping from place to place eating. Jake had tons of fun stories, local insight, and genuinely useful Broadway tips throughout. Our favorite stop was definitely the cheeseboat. We’re still thinking about it. We actually weren’t planning to see any Broadway shows during our NYC trip because ticket prices were looking a little financially disrespectful but thanks to Jake explaining how rush tickets work and sharing some insider advice, we ended up snagging cheap last minute tickets and got to experience a show after all with great seats. Overall, we really had a blast defintiely beyond the usual tourist stuff. Highly recommend!

We had an incredible food and history tour of Greenwich Village in Manhattan with Robin, and it was THE highlight of our trip! The food was absolutely unbelievable, every stop was delicious and thoughtfully chosen. Robin was truly exceptional. She was so kind, answered every question we had, and had an amazing depth of knowledge about the area and its history. The way she tells stories is completely captivating, whenever she spoke, everyone listened. She brought Greenwich Village to life in such an engaging and memorable way. If you’re considering this tour, definitely book it, and if you can, ask for Robin. Highly recommend!
