Miles and Miles of Artichoke Pizza

Miles and miles of Artichoke Basille’s Pizza. So delicious it’s crazy.  📷: Moving Forward Consulting- NY

Rice Ball in the City

Aracini in the City. The best rice balls are at Faicco’s. Hands down.

Let There Be Olive Oil (And Lots of It!)

Saad of Essex Olive Oil & Spice in the all new and beautiful Essex Market. If you haven’t seen the new digs yet, you’re missing out.

Good to the Last Bite

Oh the joys of the Nonna Maria slice at Bleecker Street Pizza. It’s good down to the very last bite.

Dumplings All Around

Have you ever had the best Chinese dumplings in New York City? Come on my Lower East Side tour and I’ll hand deliver them to you courtesy of Vanessa’s Dumpling House.

But first coffee…

The best part of waking up? It’s not Folgers people – Porto Rico Importing Company

Hydrate!

Outside of Yonah Shimmel’s Knish Bakery giving out some waters. You definitely need to hydrate on this tour especially during the summertime ☀️

Dumpling for Your Dumpling?

Pork dumplings. You can get them just about anywhere but I promise you they won’t taste as good as they do at Vanessa’s Dumpling House.

Showing Selfies

Showing a selfie to a happy couple who went on both of my tours. Here they are before eating a “to die for” cupcake at Molly’s Cupcakes.

Salami in the Sun

Getting a glimpse (in the sunlight) of Soppressata from Faicco’s. Not really but it made for a funny pic. No?

50 Years of ‘Nice’

50 years of marriage and celebrating it on one of my tours. I was so honored. These two took my Lower East Side tour.

Two Thumbs Up!

Siskel and Ebert. I miss those guys. Their trademark was “two thumbs up,” and pastrami at Katz’s Deli easily scores the highest ratings. Believe the hype. You’ll never go anywhere else for pastrami (or want to anyway)
