Can I bring a friend?

• Sure you can! If you want your friend to stay in your hotel room, they can come for a discounted rate of $1699 (per person in the shared room) or they can have their own room at the full price of $1999.

How many people are coming with us?

• We strive to keep the tour intimate (no large tour busses here) so tickets are capped at 8 people (plus me!)

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?

• Most of the restaurants, bars and food halls that we will be visiting can cater to various dietary needs. However, feel free to send me a message before booking to make sure that you are comfortable with the food options.

How will we be getting around the City?

• We will be walking a lot and taking the subway. Did I mention the walking? Definitely pack comfortable walking shoes because we will likely be logging 20,000 steps or so per day.

Are people who identify as LGBTQ+ welcome to join the fun?

• Of course! We love members of the rainbow mafia and we pride ourselves in creating a safe space for them!

Will it be weird if I come on this trip alone?

• Not at all! One of the best parts of this trip is that it makes it possible for people who don’t have a travel buddy but feel more comfortable not traveling solo. Once you buy your ticket, you will be invited to a Facebook group, which will include only the people going on your trip, so everyone can get to know each other a little bit before we go.

How do we know if these restaurants are even good?

• I have been lucky enough to visit all of the restaurants on our itinerary on prior trips to NYC. I hand-picked these specific ones because they are some of my favorites and I think that fellow foodies will love them!

I’ve never been to New York before and don’t know how to get around the City, will I get lost?

• Not to worry! From the moment that you arrive at the hotel, I will be with you each step of the way. I’ll navigate the subway and figure out the directions while we are walking and I will make sure we get to our reservations in time. You just have to follow me and enjoy the scenery! No maps needed.

Can I get a refund if I change my mind after I book?

• We are sad that you won’t be able to make it! If you cancel 7 or more days prior to the start of the trip, you will get a refund of your full payment, minus $500. If you cancel less than 7 days prior to the start of the trip, we are not able to give you a refund. Alternatively, if you are unable to make it but know a friend or family member that would like to come in your place, you can contact us and we can transfer the booking to them, free of charge.

When do we leave?

• The trip will be from July 18 to July 21. Plan to meet at the hotel in Manhattan at 11am on July 18 so that we can head to our first meal. On July 21, you will depart for your various flights after a trip to a delightful nearby coffee shop.
