Itinerary
Columbus Park has its roots in the early 19th century when it was originally known as Mulberry Bend Park. At that time, the area was a notorious slum with overcrowded tenements, crime, and poverty. The park was established in 1897 as part of the city's efforts to improve living conditions in the neighborhood.
For those who love antiques, it is one of the stores which offers vintage, artwork and some unique items.

I loved this tour so much especially with those delicious food. Also our tour guide was really friendly and well prepared. :)
We had an amazing experience with Besttours. Great tour with delicious food and very friendly tour guide. Recommend to everyone😁
We had a great time on this tour. We didn’t expect to learn so much and the variety of food was excellent. Our guide kept the energy up throughout and we really enjoyed his company. Very nice tour.
Avoid this tour. It's run by a company called Fever, which has outlets in Europe (comparable to Viator or Get Your Guide). We signed on with them for a Jan. 5 Chinatown food tour in NYC, and the guide never showed up. There was no phone number to get in touch with them, so I emailed them from their site asking where the guide is. Of course no response. My husband had the presence of mind to take a picture of the street signs on the corner where the guide was supposed to meet us, so we provided time-stamped photo evidence to the company that we were there. And they should have our email. They have refused to do anything about this, insisting that the guide was there and we weren't. The BBB ratings for this company are atrocious. They are refusing to refund out $140. Beware.
