Private Food Tour In The Upper East Side | Tasty Tours Nyc

My husband & I booked a private walking tour of the Upper East Side with Ryan. He was very congenial & funny & also had a depth of knowledge of the history of the neighborhood. We both liked the variety of boutique food tastings. Ryan lives in the neighborhood and could point out many local spots of interest, both food-related & not. Highly recommend. The tour was entertaining & we learned a lot about the historic Upper East Side.

Super friendly and awesome food!

Ryan gave a great walking and food tour. An Australian in NY and doing a great job!! Showed us new and cool places. Including SATC and Friends houses.

Alex was an amazing tour guide! All of the places she took us were amazing, our family LOVED the dumplings. The walking we did was very doable, even in the July heat. Was very nice to be shown around by a guide, learn a little bit about the restaurants we went to and the surrounding areas. Gave us some great tips and advise for later in our trip as well. Water bottle was provided.

Our guide, Alex, was wonderful! She had a lot of knowledge of the city and the food we were tasting. The food was delicious! This was the favorite part of my trip to NY.

We had a great time with Ryan today. It unexpectedly turned into a private tour since my mom and I were the only ones who booked today. The food was delicious, and Ryan was very knowledgeable about the history of the dishes we were eating, as well as being able to share interesting information about the neighborhood.

Ryan was a great tour guide. He was so friendly and super knowledgeable. And of course the food was amazing! Highly recommend this tour!

Amazing! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and was able to keep up with our questions. I would highly recommend this tour to families with kids .

Ryan was an excellent tour guide with lots of insight on the city! Not to mention his fantastic recommendations, and the delicious restaurants he took us too.

Ryan was great. Made it like being out with a local friend. Took us to some great places for a sample of NY foods. Was very knowledgeable about the locations and food.

Had a great time! A very fun a details tour of some of the best food places in the upper east side. Alex was an amazing guide.

Had the best time tasting amazing food while being entertained with stories of how the foods are prepared and historical data of the area. Ryan was a great tour guide. He was fun, knowledgeable, interactive, and a gentleman. I'd take another Tasty Tour with his company anytime. Thanks again Ryan!

Saw a new slice of New York and some fun history and delicious food. Will return to area for more adventures.

My husband and I had a great time on the Upper Eastside tour. Ryan took us to some places I would not have ever gone to myself as a visitor to the city and would have missed out on greatly - the food was amazing. I had, I believe, some of the best pizza I've ever had. We cannot recommend Ryan and his tour more - he is a great tour guide and comes through with a variety of selections and his knowledge of the area as you walk from place to place.

The restaurants we tried were delicious! It was just the right amount of walking and tasting. Ryan, our tour guide, was very attentive and knowledgeable. He had a friendly demeanor and made our experience fun and enjoyable. We will definitely book another food tour with him.

WE took a tour today with Ryan Watts and had an exceptionally good time. We highly recommend Ryan, who is charming, knowledgeable and able to create a very harmonious group experience. Having taken other good tours with other guides, this was the best of all. Requesting Ryan would be an excellent idea.

From start to finish this tour was outstanding! Excellent food samplings from various restaurants and stops at interesting places with info along the way. Ryan was so knowledgeable and thoughtful!

Ryan led a great tour. We stopped by several restaurants and few trendy/historical locations that have significance to the city and neighborhood. We had a great time!

Ryan is a pleasure and so knowledgeable. The food is amazing and the perfect sampling of foods. Be sure to come hungry!

Ryan was amazing. He is so knowledgeable about the area and the food was great. I was so full by the end. A real must do experience!

The food was so good! Will definitely go back to some of the places we visited 😋 Ryan was a great tour guide. He gave us some really good recommendations for the rest of our NYC trip. Highly recommend!

Ryan did a great job showing us some great spots in NYC. I would highly recommend this tour. Thank you Ryan for all the other recommendations!

We've never had a reason to visit the upper East Side before, but this tour was it. We usually stay in mid-town and we were weary of the touristy places. This tour gave us a flavor of where we might eat if we were a local. It was not a white-linen tour by any means - but that's not a bad thing! We still visited some very tasy locales! Bagels, pizza, dumplings and canolli's - we covered a broad spectrum of NY flavors. We even got a couple ideas for non-dining places to visit the next time we are in town! There are a number of NY food tours on TripAdvisor, and what sold us on this one was the smalller limit to the tour size. Our smaller group moved about easily, was able to get in/out of restaurants, and was served quickly. Nice way to spend an afternooon in the city!

Really enjoyed the Upper East Side Food Tour. Each food stop was very good and my family enjoyed the variety of the servings. Ryan is a great tour guide and he kept the entire tour interesting and fun. Would use Tasty Tours again. Highly recommended.

This was an excellent food tour. We had a small group of 6 and the other participants were lovely. Ryan was an excellent guide and truly helped bring stories and connection to the delicious food and interesting neighborhood. 5 out of 5 for sure!

Wow. This is a great tour. The food was excellent, and far more than we were expecting. All of the logistics like scheduling, meeting the group and keeping up were very easy. And Ryan, who leads the tour, was fabulous. Very informative, friendly, attentive and fun. I highly recommend this tour!

I do a food tour everywhere I go and since I just moved to the area, what better way to get to know the area? This tour was among the best I’ve done. Ryan was an amazing guide, not just showing me some great local restaurants and sampling their food, but also showing me some very cool and unique landmarks on the UES. There are so many great restaurants on the UES and this tour is the perfect way to sample a handful of the options in a few hours. I have already gone back to two of the spots we visited and will be back to the others. I highly recommend this tour!

Food was so good, especially the dumplings and pizza! The little market we visited was so cool to see too! Fun side stories throughout made it super interesting and Ryan did a great job telling us all the fun facts about each location!

Nice and numerous food choices. Was able to provide a good overview of the upper east side area. Ryan was a fun and interesting tour guide. Will try his other tours when I return.

We enjoyed trying the foods from the hidden gems that you may just pass by. There was lots of tasty food so go hungry. Ryan was very knowledgeable about the Upper East Side and shared lots of interesting stories. He was enjoyable to spend time with and we learned a lot. We would highly recommend this tour.

Ryan was an amazing tour guide not only did we have a food tasting experience but he also gave us a lot of history of the east side . It was a nice change from the busy tourist areas .

Even on a gloomy rainy day, Ryan will make your tour experience fun, exciting and very tasty. There is a nice balance of historical and fun information, easy walking, and tasting of a diverse variety of authentic foods.

The food was incredible and Ryan was an excellent host. I am recommending this to all my friends going to NYC. We will definitely do the other tours next time we are in town.

Ryan was an amazing guide, he was knowledgable and answered all our questions. On top of the interesting learnings, the food was incredible. Highly recommend!

Awesome food tour with Ryan! He stopped at a few places in between food to give us a bit of history and was very knowledgeable about everything. Food was also awesome and there wasn't one thing we didn't like! Thanks Ryan and Tasty Tours NYC.

Excellence tour with Ryan. The restaurants were all sit down style restaurant and not a cheap takeout place like many other food tours. You definitely get your money’s worth and Ryan was friendly fun and informative! Would definitely recommend!

Ryan was fantastic and we really enjoyed the food tour! We really enjoyed the locations picked and he was very knowledgeable of fun facts around the city. We had such a great time and would do this again!

We planned our food tour as an after Christmas adventure for my niece and myself. It was a cold grey, rainy/snowy afternoon but were greeted at the first spot H&H bagels with a very friendly young man … Ryan Watts. He was knowledgeable about the history of each stop . He shared funny anecdotes as well. It was only the three of us , which could have felt awkward or uncomfortable , but we were all at ease. The food stops were delicious, especially the Chinese dumplings! We enjoyed ourselves so much we are planning a spring date for the Greenwich village tour. Would definitely recommend this tour, especially with Ryan!

Ryan was on time, friendly and welcoming. He is knowledgeable of the area and the food. Some great little history bits and pieces (won’t spoil by reviling), you just have to do the tour yourself. Thank you Ryan I enjoyed the tour.

Great food tour. Hit some great spots in the famous Upper East Side. Xi’an Asian was my favorite spot. Me and my girlfriend had a great time. Our tour guide Ryan was the GOAT. Knows his stuff and overall awesome dude.

We thoroughly enjoyed the food tour of the Upper East Side guided by Ryan. He was very knowledgeable and informative about the local food scene as well as history and art in the neighborhood. We highly recommend a tour guided by Ryan.

We had a great time and really loved the variety of the food on the tour! Our guide, Ryan, was really engaging with my 1st grader and his exuberance about Pokémon. It was a very family-friendly tour and I look forward to doing others.

Awesome tour. Ryan was a fantastic guide. His humor and good nature made the tour much more enjoyable. He was very knowledgeable about the area and left us very satisfied. He also provided lots of interesting places to visit and things to do outside of the tour. Will definitely recommend to friends. Andy and Annett #2.

Ryan was fantastic! We had a really great time and enjoyed some fantastic food and culture, highly recommended!

Ryan, our guide, was delightful. His enthusiasm for his neighborhood was quite evident. He was easy to talk with and very knowledgeable .

Ryan was an amazing tour guide. Knowledgeable, friendly and very funny! The different types of food was great and we loved the history and interesting facts of the area. Highly recommend this tour.

Ryan was a friendly, knowledgeable and amusing guide. His stories as he led me and my brother around the Upper East Side made for a very enjoyable half day. Of course the food was also great and I don’t think I could have eaten any more. Some samples were sweet and others savoury and all came with an explanation by Ryan as to why they and the serving establishment are important to the New York food scene.

I purchased the Upper East Side Food Tour for a gift for my Mother for a big birthday! We rarely get to spend time out just the two of us and I thought this was a great opportunity. I was right! Ryan was accommodating and so friendly from the very first booking email. He was on time, knowledgeable, and just so much fun! We are local New Yorkers and have lived in the city for our whole lives. We truly enjoyed the opportunity to be a tourist in our own city. There were great food tastings and background information, fun cultural stops, and lots of laughs. Ryan was so wonderful and we would not hesitate to take another tour with him. We would recommend a tour with Ryan to anyone looking for a fun time out in the city whether they are a local or visiting. We had the best time! We're considering the Upper West Side Food Tour next. Thank you, Ryan!! :)

Ryan was very knowledgeable and had great energy while showing us around the Upper East side. Will for sure book him again for another location if we go to NYC again.
