The tour was an experience beyond food. Our tour guide Hanna went above and beyond to ensure we were all comfortable, accommodating of our pescatarian needs. We left with a full stomach, new appreciation of the diversity in food. We were blessed with snow this visit, it didn’t stop or deter us from enjoying the tour in the least. It added a bit of winter wonderland to China town, Little Italy.
