That’s us. We zero in on a neighborhood and eat our way through it (for research, of course!) We talk to the servers, chefs, and owners who make it worth eating there. New Yorkers love telling their story over a sample of their best dish. A few meals in, and you’re a regular.
These are the restaurants we bring you to: the ones locals would gatekeep, but they’re just too good to keep to ourselves. Our local NYC guides want you to leave knowing this city is exactly as special as they know it to be. Unforgettable flavors, unbelievable stories, and a little New York brashness, guaranteed.

We have been on several of Avital’s tours and LOVE them! She is warm and entertaining and knows her history. The food and drinks were GREAT! I would especially encourage locals to take their out of town visitors for a food adventure with Avital Tours. Enjoy!

Venice Beach Food Tour
We have done 2 walking food tours with Avital and both have been amazing. First, the tour of Venice and then second the tour of Korea Town. The guides were knowledgeable, fun and we tried some really great spots. In Venice my highlight was the hands on sushi experience and in Korea Town I loved the different venues our guide showed us. In K town, our guide Penny was really great, she added humor and so much personality to our tour. This is a tour for local foodies looking to explore new neighborhoods…. not a generic food tour! Very well done!
