First Park

We meet at First Park, where the grid begins, and smack in the middle of a culinary hotspot. Our first food stop is usually just a few minutes away. THIS IS A SAMPLE ITINERARY. We take input from the group, then draw from a big bag of options to make each outing unique.

N/A

SAMPLE ITINERARY! We don't visit the same places every time, given the wealth of choices we have available to us. SOMETIMES we start at Russ & Daughters, where the bagels are good and the decor sends you decades back in time.

Lower East Side (Pass By)

From First Park, we'll head south into the Lower East Side where bagels, dumplings tacos, pizza, and street art await.

Economy Candy

Family-owned and operated for almost 100 years, Economy Candy is a colorful and enjoyable stop. They have candy from all over the world, and candy you might not have seen in decades. Great fun. No purchase necessary.

The oldest bialy bakery in The United States, Kossar's has a colorful history and they make great food. If we don't stop at Russ & Daughters, and maybe even if we do, we might stop here.

A tiny dumpling outpost on Essex Street, North Dumpling is usually buzzing. It's a fun place to grab our first round of dumplings, and we'll probably eat them on the street.

Freeman Alley is a Mecca of graffiti and street art. It changes every day. If you like bright colors and beautiful imagery, you should see it at least once.

If we aren't full already, we might make our way to the exception slices at Nolita Pizza.

We'll pass through Chinatown, take in the sights, and eat some dumplings.
