LOCATION
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.

OUR MISSION
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.

The New York Sandwich Tour
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.

What a terrific experience! I have been on food tours before, but Ben made this experience a stand-out one. First he asked us what kind of sandwiches we like, and then he made a point of taking us to places that echoed our preferences. I say echo because each sandwich place provided a unique spin on our preferences, whether it was a unique sauce, or combination of ingredients. Second, he knew the background of the shop owner - their cooking experience, how they wound up in NYC and how long they'd been in business. It made it far more interesting than just eating a sandwich. He was always able to find a place to sit down, he engaged us in a lively philosophical debate about "what is a sandwich?" and "does a hot dog count as a sandwich?". He shared some personal information when asked, but didn't make the tour about himself. He made it a fun, enlightening and satisfying experience, and I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Ben!

Ben is really passionate about sandwiches, it's not made up, and he actually really studied what could or could not be called a sandwich. We had a great time with the group, and overall this is a very good value: for about the same price as the sandwiches, you get to discover new places you would not have discovered otherwise, plus a nice walk with nice people.

Ben was an incredible host and this experience was so great for my parents and I! Not only did Ben take us to 3 wonderful, local, IYKYK spots, he also explained the history and significance of each establishment and why their sandwiches are so special. Each sandwich was DELICIOUS, and he was a great person to chat with at each stop and while in transit. He encouraged debate ("is a hotdog a sandwich?") throughout the tour which ended up being such a funny and challenging part of the experience (in a good way). You can tell he loves what he does, he's extremely knowledgable, and is a personable host. I would recommend this experience to anyone looking for a unique, fun, and delicious way to engage with NYC food culture!

Ben is a fantastic host—very engaging, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable. The experience is part lesson, part philosophical debate about the definition of "sandwich," part social gathering, and, of course, food tasting. The sandwiches were all unique and from storefronts in the East Village that you would probably miss if Ben hadn't ably curated the selections. It's a highly recommended experience.

Ben's sandwich tour was amazing! I went for an Airbnb Host outing. As a fellow, rather new food tour guide, I really enjoyed the experience and recommend his Sandwich food tours to others! The thing I liked most about it is that he made the experience interactive and philosophical. Prodding us with questions like 'Does this wrap qualify as a sandwich?' Gives me things to think about for a while. We got to sample 3 kinds of sandwiches from different shops with their own unique stories, and a different aspect of sandwich-ology questions. I like that he was accommodating and double checking if I wanted to eat cheese because I'm lactose intolerant. I probably shouldn't have but I had Lactaid and the sandwiches we had without cheese would of felt like a crime. There were 3 sandwiches and the one that stood out to me was the pho wrap. It's been on my list for a while, and it was a happy surprise to have it. It was my highlight, also one of the bars we ate at had a killer root beer.

I have been hearing about Ben’s sandwich tours for so many years… and it totally lived up to the hype! Even as a vegetarian, I didn’t feel like I missed out on anything. So fun & unique for any NYC guest or local.
Author: Erin | Date: 4/18/2026 | Source: airbnb | Rating: 5 stars
Ben makes this a fun experience from beginning to end. The group is encouraged to interact and ask questions and share opinions, so the sandwiches themselves are almost secondary to the socializing going on amongst the group and with Ben - who has a lot of great things to share and debate about what makes a sandwich a sandwich. Lastly, the sandwiches are tasty, multi-culti, unique New York treats, and the spaces where we ate and drank were really special. And…all food restrictions are taken into consideration. Highly recommended.

I've never thought so deeply and philosophically about sandwiches in my life, but I had a super great time doing so on Ben's tour. I loved learning about the origin of the sandwich, some wise tales and even lawsuits surrounding sandwiches in the US! Ben made learning so engaging and fun that I was even able to recount the stories and facts in great detail to friends post-tour. Highly recommend this experience!

When I say you will never, EVER meet a person who loves sandwiches more than Ben, I mean it. This is EXACTLY the person I want hosting a sandwich tour in one of the greatest sandwich cities in the world. What I especially loved, aside from all the amazing sandwiches, was learning so much about the culture around food in the city that I call home. This truly felt like less of a tour and more of a good hang with my friends. If you are a New York native, or here on vacation, I cannot recommend this tour enough. P.S. A HOT DOG IS A SANDWICH! COYI

Sandwiches aside, this was a lovely stroll on a sunny day through East Village – perfect for a New York newbie. I enjoyed hearing about the district and the small business retailers who provided the sandwich “exhibits” for discussion. The tour, though, *is* about the sandwiches … and the sandwiches were GOOD. One was unlike anything I’d tasted before, and (was I just caught up in the moment?) I think this was the best, juiciest burger I’ve ever eaten. Ben is a charming, easy-going guy, and his enthusiasm for the humble (can I say that?) sandwich knows no bounds. He and his New York Sandwich Tour deserve my highest accolade: “Good job!” Your closing comments (no spoilers) have stayed with me. Even the most cynical hearts can be melted, Ben!

What a fun afternoon of strolling, sandwiches, and superb conversation! Ben was a fantastic and knowledgable guide--it was my sandwich-loving husband's birthday, and Ben made the day super special. We hit up three very different spots in the East Village and Lower East Side and experienced three very different cuisines--each better than the last. Bonus points for the craft brew/cider places we also visited (gotta wash those sandwiches down with something, amirite?), and MORE bonus points for the awesome walk around the neighborhood that kept us hungry for more. 100 percent recommend--you won't regret it!!

I've been following Ben for a while on instagram, and I finally used some out of town family as an excuse for a tour! Ben and Tim were amazing, very energetic, fun, and know a CRAZY amount about sandwiches and the neighborhood. Took my teenage nephew and mother, and all ages were thrilled! Even as locals, these were all delicious sandwiches, stories, and shops we hadn't been to. Would 100% do again w/ out or towners!

We had a large group of 15-20 people go on this tour, and I can say it was incredible. Ben and his team were knowledgeable regarding the sandwich places they took us to, but were incredibly fun and pleasant when it came to discussing what was (or wasn't) a sandwich. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys a good sandwich and some fun (and/or crazy) arguments.I'm not sure if he goes to the same spots each time, but our group had a fun time roaming throughout Soho/Noho/St. Marks area. We were all locals as well, so you do not have to be a tourist or outsider to enjoy the tour!It's been 4-5 days of no sleep and I still am pondering what the heck a sandwich actually is. (This is a joke, at least partially. I have slept... but still, I ponder).

I spent a few years watching Ben & his team eat their way across the city va IG. Finally got a group together (20+) and got a tour on the books and it did not disappoint at all! Easy coordination, well planned for large group management, clearly directed from spot to spot, enough space at each stop for our group to be comfortable. Didn't have to worry about a thing logistically with is immensely appreciated. But the food - holy crap, so good! Great spots I'd have easily overlooked but now will absolutely be going back to time and time again. Ben, Stef, and Tim - thanks so much for a killer experience from start to finish. 5/5, no notes other than some of those sandwiches were not beard friendly (but that's really my problem, not yours!). Big reco from me!

My algorithm served me Ben's 'top 10 sandwiches of 2025' reel just before Christmas... I happened to click onto his profile, saw that he hosts sandwich tours, and figured that could be a fun gift for my sandwich-loving boyfriend. We are NYC residents (based in Queens) immersed in the local food scene and this tour was an incredible experience. Ben is a knowledgable, enthusiastic, and engaging tour guide; the sandwiches we had were delicious; and we learned so much. Already planning to get a group together for Ben's Brooklyn tour!

We did the New York Sandwich Tour with Ben on a day when it rained (like, sleeted) and honestly thought it might get canceled. Ben showed up with total enthusiasm, zero hesitation, and immediately set the tone for an unforgettable experience. He’s incredibly knowledgeable about NYC food culture, wildly charismatic, and genuinely skilled at getting a group of strangers to feel like old friends. We tried some of the best sandwiches in the city, met the people who make them, and learned so much along the way. If you like things nestled between other things, this is absolutely the tour for you. Highly, highly recommend to anyone visiting NYC, or any local who thinks they already know every good sandwich spot. You don’t. Ben does.

I didn't really know what to expect. Other than the fact that he had glowing reviews, I had zero idea what to expect. Enter: Ben. SUCH a delightful guy. Charismatic. And easy to talk to. He gave us such a great history on sandwiches, what a sandwich may or may not be, and took us to small spots in the city that really, really packed a punch. I was SHOCKED at the sandwiches that we tried!
