1. China Town Food Tour- $155
Discover the delicious cuisine and unique culture that make New York City’s Chinatown such a diverse and vibrant neighborhood. During this three hour tour you will “sit down” in two of China town’s finest restaurants and enjoy regional Chinese cuisine, while observing the traditional etiquette that accompanies these fine foods.
The food and cultural tour then takes to the streets as you venture through the neighborhood, stopping at one of a kind, specialty food shops for additional tastings and cultural insight. You will also explore historic landmarks, busy and hidden side streets, and outdoor markets of this small district that is home to the largest concentration of Chinese people in the western hemisphere. Delicious food specialties served include:
- A unique and beautiful selection of Hong Kong Style Dumplings
- A whole Beijing Style Peking Duck with all the fixings
- The best scallion pancake in Chinatown!
- Two types of Authentic Chinese Beef Jerky
- A Traditional and Delicious Chinese Pastry
- Chinese Tea Tasting (two regions)
Of course, if you know China Town well enough, or are adventurous – you can create your own private tour for two–much more romantic! All it takes is a bit of research, planning and an element of surprise.

2. Twilight Bike Tour – $190 for two
The
Big Apple is justifiably famous for its night life and night lights.
Here is a unique opportunity to see the city’s brightness at twilight.
This unique tour begins while it is still daylight, with a pedal
through the historic and charming West Village as you ride along
charming streets and pass quaint houses and boutique shops. Cycle along
the new Hudson River Greenway, a splendid bike path with truly
magnificent views of the New York Harbor, which leads you to historic
Battery Park, Ground Zero, Wall Street and then City Hall before
embarking on the highlight of our tour– a truly amazing pedal up the
Brooklyn Bridge, on its own bike path, as daylight slowly dissipates
and the lights of the city emerge. Twilight on the Brooklyn Bridge is
an “only in the Big Apple” awesome experience. This tour is truly a
special opportunity to experience a very different side of the Big
Apple.
Here is another case in which you can plan this type of adventure on your own. If you both have bicycles you can recreate this tour and save the money for a romantic dinner for two at your favorite restaurant after the twilight ride, or head home and serve up dinner at your place.
