Seth was AMAZING! He was intriguing and gave so much information. The tour itself was a chef's kiss 10 out of 10. My only wish is that the ghost portion was first, and finished in Italy/Chinatown (there are a zillion more restaurants). :) GO SETH!!!

Tour was great, We learned a lot about China Town and Little Italy that I never new (have been multiple times in the past.) Food was great. I have never been a dumpling fan but am now (at least there.) Our tour guide Jared was awesome, knowledgeable, engaging, everything you could ask for. If you book I would suggest asking for him.
