What To Expect
Columbus Park
Columbus Park, formerly known as Mulberry Bend Park, Five Points Park and Paradise Park, is a public park in Chinatown, Manhattan, in New York City that was built in 1897. During the 19th century, this was the most dangerous ghetto area of immigrant New York, as portrayed in the book and film Gangs of New York.
Chinatown
Vibrant Chinatown is a densely populated neighborhood that draws foodies and tourists to its many Chinese and Southeast Asian restaurants for dumplings, pork buns and hand-pulled noodles. The busy sidewalks are packed with souvenir stores, bubble tea shops, and markets selling everything from fresh and dried fish to herbs and spices. Locals hang out in leafy Columbus Park for Tai Chi, chess and mahjong.

5.00From past experience when we arrive at a destination before hotel check-in we try to book a walking tour. Food tours are great for getting oriented, fighting through jet lag, and sampling the local cuisine. Our food tour of Chinatown and Little Italy with Dena did not disappoint! We had 7 different items and finished the tour not needing to have dinner. Dena was very friendly, engaging and a lot of fun. Highly recommend her tour!

5.00⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We took the NYC Chinatown & Little Italy Walking Food Tour on October 13th, and it was absolutely fantastic! Our guide, Emily, was wonderful—so engaging, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable about the rich history and culture of both neighborhoods. She made the tour flow effortlessly by ordering all the tastings in advance, which kept everything efficient and relaxed. Every stop featured delicious food and generous portions—we were completely full by the end and didn’t even need dinner! A perfect blend of history, culture, and amazing eats. Highly recommend this tour and especially Emily!
