Italian Market & More: Non-Touristy Food Tour w/ Journalist
Tiny Table Tours was founded by a well-known local food journalist, and those relationships are at the core of our tours. We share stories gathered from one-on-one interviews with business owners and chefs that will give you a behind-the-scenes, personal view of South Philadelphia. Our tour guides are deeply immersed in Philly food and dining scene, giving you a deeply personal experience. The tour includes six bites of food, including sweet treats, a Vietnamese sandwich, tacos and more. We'll talk about (but not eat) cheesesteaks, and introduce you multigenerational family businesses. We’ll also share our cheat sheet: a list of recommendations for bars, restaurants, and other fun activities in the city. All in all, we’ll walk a little less than 2 miles over the course of 2.5 hours. We can easily accommodate vegetarians and pescatarians with advance notice. PLEASE let us know if you or anyone in your party has any dietary restrictions we should be aware of.
