What the f*ck is a sandwich tour?
Well for starters, it’s a whole lot more than just eating sandwiches.
Think amazing sammies, great laughs, cold drinks, and a surprisingly high amount of history and storytelling.
What started as a crazy idea for ‘a bar crawl for sandwiches’ in 2017, quickly became a deliciously fun walking tour that values having a laugh as much as it does feasting on great sandwiches.
Each tour will take you to 3 hidden gem locations to enjoy delicious sandwiches made by real New Yorkers. As you eat, you’ll learn about the history of the dish you are enjoying, the people who made it, and the neighborhood you’re eating in.
Our ‘signature move’ though is to blow your mind while you eat with a fun debate about whether or not a hotdog is a sandwich. Or a burger. Or a burrito… You’ll never believe how strong your opinions are about sandwiches until we try to convince you that a lasagna is one.
So set aside 2 hours for a deliciously fun and unique way to experience New York food. Just come hungry.
New York Sandwich Tour Guide
Ben Gollan
After moving to NYC as a lawyer in 2016, a single New York sandwich changed Ben Gollan's life. The pastrami sandwich from Harry and Ida's Deli (RIP) convinced him to leave behind the law and instead become a New York sandwich tour guide. He's never looked back!
Since then, we have hosted thousands of guests on our sandwich walking tours and online cooking classes - over 20,000 of them to be exact. Having now received 2,000+ reviews from our amazing guests, Ben has become the #1 reviewed NYC host on the Airbnb Experiences platform.
Ben has also been featured on national TV, broadcast radio, multiple print media publications, podcasts, and panels all to talk about sandwiches! Not bad for a kid originally from Sydney, Australia.
