A Man and His Sandwich is one of the most fun and unique experiences I've had in New York City. The sandwiches were outstanding, and Ben's knowledge, enthusiasm, and storytelling made the tour truly memorable. I learned so much about New York's food history while enjoying some incredible food along the way. Whether you're visiting NYC or you're a local looking for a new adventure, I highly recommend this tour. You'll leave full, informed, and smiling.

This is the second sandwich tour we have taken with Ben, and it was a delight (just like the first one). The sandwiches are excellent, and they are supplemented with thoughtful discussion about a serious topic (What is a sandwich?) and interesting information about the neighborhood. Highly recommended!

This tour was our second with Ben, after we did the fantastic Brooklyn tour with him. This tour very much lived up to the high expectations that the first experience set. Highly recommend!

Welcome to the most deliciously fun food tour in NYC – The New York Sandwich Tour. A full-blown, borderline obsessive, deep-dive into New York City… told entirely through its sandwiches. Across two hours you will eat seriously well, laugh a lot, and answer the hard-hitting question “is a hotdog a sandwich?” as we visit three incredible sandwich spots (plus a bar or two). Along the way, you’ll devour a lineup of world-class sandwiches (approx. half a sandwich at each spot) — from the classics to the slightly unhinged — all hand-picked and taste-tested by people who take their “research” very seriously, us. Between bites, we’ll mix in stories of NYC, the legends behind the food, and just enough knowledge to make you sound impressive at your next dinner party. But here’s the real secret: the tour is not just about eating sandwiches. It’s about the banter, the debate, the unexpected discoveries, and that moment when you take a bite and quietly wonder if you should just cancel your flight home and stay here. It’s actually happened, no joke. So skip the obvious tourist traps and come eat your way through New York the proper way — one sandwich at a time. Book your spot, bring the hunger, and we’ll handle the rest. Important Notes: • Vegetarian options are available; however, we regret that we cannot accommodate vegan or gluten-free diets at this time. • Private tours available: Perfect for corporate teams seeking a unique experience—just ask Amazon, Google, or Audible! • Flexible Scheduling: Don’t see a date or time that works for you? Let us know, and we’ll do our best to arrange a tour that fits your schedule. Ready to eat your way through the heart of New York’s East Village? Book your spot today.
Calling all football fans and sandwich supporters. This deliciously fun NYC walking tour combines soccer, sandwiches, and the age-old debate of whether a hotdog is a sandwich.

We’ll wrap things up at a bar showing the World Cup matches, celebrating the greatest one-two ever: World Cup energy and New York sandwich culture. Just come hungry.

Brooklyn also offers an amazing range of sandwiches to enjoy too! In this experience, we will answer the question "what is a sandwich?" as we eat three different interpretations of the sandwich in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Together we'll visit destinations that you will not find in a typical tourist guidebook as we eat our way through the history and evolution of the sandwich. Along the way, we'll hear stories about the venues we are eating at and the people who are making our food. We'll discover street art and we'll also learn how the people of Williamsburg have influenced the sandwich game in New York. **Vegetarian options available, but not vegan or gluten-free (sorry!)**

Can’t decide between a bar crawl and a food tour whilst you’re in New York? Then why not join an experience that does both! On the Beers, Burgers, and Buns experience we will do just what the title suggests - drink cold beer (or wine) and eat delicious burgers as we walk through the fascinating neighborhood of the East Village. Along the way, we’ll visit three unique bars and two dining spots, plus we’ll learn about the fascinating history of New York City – from the prohibition era to today – and hear the stories of the people behind the food and drink you will be enjoying.

Since the early days of immigration at Ellis Island, New York has become a common ground for people of all nationalities. Each person brought a unique style of delicious food to the city. Kitchens serving authentic food were a way to reconnect with the culture deeply rooted in these future American citizens.
You'll find restaurants serving Italian food and wine next to an Argentinian restaurant that makes a perfectly-cooked steak with chimichurri. Irish immigrants brought the tasty corned beef and cabbage we enjoy today, while the Germans gave us the beloved hotdog. But perhaps the most famous sandwiches in the city are the pastrami on rye or the bagel & lox served at many Jewish delis.

All food, a knowledgeable and frankly excellent guide, and a small takeaway to remember us by. What's not included: drinks (don't forget we finish at a bar!) and gratuity.
No. Our goal is to get you stuffed, not sick. Eating a full sandwich at every stop would achieve the latter. Instead, we split sandwiches so you leave satisfied but comfortable after 2 hours.
Yes. We can accommodate almost all allergies and dietary restrictions - vegetarian, pescatarian, no shrimp, nuts, peppers, beef... we've heard them all.
Gluten free and vegan can be more difficult though, so please reach out before booking so we can chat about how to best accommodate you.
Both. Tourists get an authentic NYC neighborhood experience beyond the usual stops. Locals consistently discover sandwiches (and fun facts) they didn't already know. We take that as a compliment.
