Immigrant Stories Food Tour - Lower East Side

For centuries, waves of immigrants have called the Lower East Side their first home, with their recipes becoming neighborhood staples.

Over five tastings you'll eat bagels & lox, Dominican mofongo and flan, Lebanese manousheh with za'atar and labneh, egg rolls and tea in Chinatown, and a Neapolitan slice in Little Italy — five kitchens, five communities, all within a few blocks of each other.

Your guide ties every plate to the people who brought it here: the pushcart vendors whose trade became the city's bagel counters, the Chinatown cooks who invented Chinese American food, and the original Five Points neighborhood where Irish, German, and emancipated slaves lived side by side in the country's first true melting pot.
