What you can expect

Experience Manhattan's Upper West Side through one of its most beloved treats—cookies—on a relaxed, mile-long guided walking tour that blends generous tastings with cultural and architectural history.

You’ll visit a curated selection of standout bakeries, each either founded in New York City or a small, women-owned business, and sample a range of cookies that showcase different styles, techniques, and flavours. Between bites, your guide (a professional historian) will bring the Upper West Side to life, sharing stories of its food culture, architectural character, and history.

This is more than a dessert tour—it’s a flavourful way to understand the area, one cookie at a time.

GLUTEN FREE, VEGAN, AND DAIRY-FREE OPTIONS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST
