Dear Once and Future Noshwalkers!
Starting in 2024 I am leading Noshwalks on request only.
So... If you are interested in an amazing food adventure in any of New York City's five boroughs, in Newark's famous Ironbound district, or in Paterson NJ's outstanding and historic Peruvian or Middle Eastern/North African/Turkish neighborhoods, let me be the person to take you and a few friends, family members, colleagues, students and more!
Contact me at noshwalks@aol.com or by text at 212-222-2243.

Did you know the London Guardian named Noshwalks one of the world's 20 best food tours? Read about it in The Guardian.
Noshwalks is your best opportunity to explore delicious neighborhoods within the five boroughs of New York City AND fascinating neighborhoods in Newark and Paterson, New Jersey. We specialize in designing unusual tours in neighborhoods tourists (and many New Yorkers) don't generally know. Our unique tours combine local culture with great tastes. YOU can join these expeditions, using mass transit to reach all of them. (Of course, you can drive, too.). .
You'll love our tours if you love food from around the world
and have a taste for adventure.
For less than the price of a Broadway theater ticket you'll have a unique urban adventure with enough tastes to constitute a great meal!
Highlights of the Coming Year
Dining Out With Noshwalks - Full sit-down meals and dessert at delicious destinations in neighborhoods we know well. Pay a registration fee to join, then share the price of our meal (including tips and tax) and enjoy great company! You will end up tasting more and paying less than if you went on your own. These are scheduled for every six to eight weeks.
Public Noshwalks - in all the boroughs, plus Peruvian Paterson, Middle Eastern Paterson and the Portuguese, Brazilian and Ecuadorean delights o Newark's Ironbound. Tours will be added to the schedule shortly. Keep watching!
Private Tours - Do you want to go to a neighborhood where there's a Noshwalk, but with a specific group? Organize friends, family, school chums, business colleagues, and more... and let's arrange a tour tailored to what you want! PRIVATE TOURS ARE AVAILABLE WEEKDAYS AS WELL AS WEEKENDS.
Nosh The Bronx - The new frontier for exciting eating and exploring is our only mainland borough, the Bronx. If you're interested in buying a package of Nosh the Bronx Noshwalks, let me know and we'll put something together! Several of the wonderful neighborhoods we visit are not well-known to tourists - or to New Yorkers who live outside the Bronx. A few Nosh the Bronx Noshwalks will be on the public schedule, but there are about seven in all!
Noshwalks-To-Go - Can't make a scheduled Noshwalk and prefer to explore on your own? For a fee, Noshwalks will provide you a map and annotated notes to take the Noshwalk on your own.
Our tours are fun, informative, original and delicious. Once you’ve tried us, you’ll know why we say… Nosh your way from Odessa to Bombay and never leave New York!View our Tour Schedule to see if anything tempts you or learn about the custom tour program to see how I can organize a private Noshwalk for your group or organization.
Each season of tours can take you through the richest ethnic neighborhoods in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island and, since 2014, tours in New Jersey of Newark's Portuguese and Brazilian Ironbound and Jersey City's ethnic treasures in Journal Square. .
Like Noshwalks on Facebook, there's lots of information not just on our tours but on other great food-themed events, sightings and developments in New York City!
We are taking requests!
Send e-mail to noshwalks@aol.com with the names of tours you would like to take and a selection of dates. Noshwalks will try to accommodate you!
This Web site will tell you all you need to know about Noshwalks, but here’s a thumbnail:
In February β€99, I launched Noshnews Blog, a newsletter about the best markets, bakeries and eateries in NYC’s ethnic neighborhoods, and in August 2000 I began leading Noshwalks. I introduced β€customβ€ walks in 2001. But I’ve been sharing my passion for NYC neighborhoods with folks since co-founding Hungry Pedalers Gourmet Bicycle Tours in 1983. (See About Myra Alperson for details.)
Below are some comments from folks who’ve joined Noshwalks, along with some photos. Then click away through the rest of the Web site for more details (and pictures). I hope to meet you on a Noshwalk some time!

Noshwalks Bubbly epicure Myra Alperson uses food—and lots of it—to draw crowds to out-of-the-way neighborhoods in all five boroughs. A typical Noshwalk tempts you with treats from bakeries, groceries and restaurants; on past jaunts, Alperson has taken tourgoers to a kosher matzoh factory in Brooklyn and a Sri Lanken market in Staten Island. Oh, and there’s some walking, too.
