Bang for your buck!
Cory is an amazing tour guide! This is our first time booking a food tour and we had a great experience. My husband is a foodie so we asked a lot of food recs and he gave us a lot of places that we probably will come back for in the future. Would definitely recommend booking this tour to get an authentic experience of New York while you’re visiting! Cory, we’ll see you around soon!

Best Food Tour in NYC
Corey is a phenomenal tour guide. I had such a great time hearing about the history of the neighborhood … trying spots that weren’t tourist traps either. Genuinely great food and people who worked there. I will certainly be trying more tours of his. Highly recommend!!!!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind recommendation of Food On Foot Tours. We pride ourselves on only going to non-tourist neighborhoods and local places. We love that you appreciated that.

Best Food Tour Company in NYC!
Corey was our tour guide and is the owner of the tour company. He was very friendly and knowledgeable and took us some great local restaurants and bakeries. We loved every stop!
Response from the operator: Thank you. We love that you loved every Food On Foot Tours stop!

Don't think twice
Don't think twice, book this now! Unfortunately my wife and I were only able to book this on our last day of our trip, the eating advice given throughout the tour will help you for your whole stay. As of writing this on our final day in NYC, my wife and I canceled our pre booked high end dinner reservations for tonight and will be going back for another bite on one of the tour stops! Corey thank you for your knowledge of the city and your hospitality!
Response from the operator: It was so much fun hanging out together and nothing says thank you more than you going back to one of the stops on the same day! Food On Foot Tours

Why this scores 77
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
New York City: Hell's Kitchen Midtown Food On Foot Guided Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New York.
How much does New York City: Hell's Kitchen Midtown Food On Foot Guided Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $69 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in New York usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does New York City: Hell's Kitchen Midtown Food On Foot Guided Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3.8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in New York is not rushed.
Is New York City: Hell's Kitchen Midtown Food On Foot Guided Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 151 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in New York, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule New York City: Hell's Kitchen Midtown Food On Foot Guided Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is New York City: Hell's Kitchen Midtown Food On Foot Guided Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book New York City: Hell's Kitchen Midtown Food On Foot Guided Tour?
+
Around 53 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in New York can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in New York and add a light layer if any part of the 3.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does New York City: Hell's Kitchen Midtown Food On Foot Guided Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central New York within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in New York?
+
New York has more bookable experiences than any other city on Outty, and the quality spread is brutal. Observation decks are commoditised, so we score them on timed-entry reliability and sunset slots. Food tours and borough walks are where the ranking really separates operators, and the top scores in the city all come from small-group guides. On Outty we rank every New York experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Grand Canyon VIP Helicopter Tour, Half-Day Bus Tour of NYC Top Highlights, NYC Bus Tour of Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens: Art, Food & Sports. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit New York?
+
September to early November, and late April through June. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in New York?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
