Spending 4h in a car with a stranger COULD be awkward, but not with Dave – he is easy company and conversation was never less than absorbing. We got off to a great start, with an unexpected and rare (for winter) appearance by the Checker. Such a beauty, and we weren’t the only ones who thought so – passers-by would... More

Go! Eat! Explore! We went today and it was great. It is such a nice way to explore New York City. Driving through parts of New York that you would never go to on your own. Away from Manhattan and all the touristy things. Naturally you go and see the main attractions but this is something else. Seeing the genuine... More

Dave's tour was absolutely amazing! We live in Manhattan and Dave took us deep into Brooklyn (Coney Island, Sheepshead Bay, Sunset Park) to explore parts of the city we'd never experienced before. Not only were all of the food tastings absolutely delicious, but Dave's knowledge of food, food history and New York history was incredibly entertaining. I learned so much... More

Dave doesn't just know food. There was no other way we could have learned as much about the food, culture and geography of NYC in just a few hours. It was my first trip to New York but it won't be my last and I'll definitely take another tour with Dave!

I was a bit hesitant at first, but after doing all my homework i decided to contact Dave and see if he had something available. It was organised real short notice, but he already had a party of 2 booked so we could just join them. This tour is about more than just food. This is a real social happening.... More

Famous Fat Dave was the most knowledgable and entertaining guide one could ever ask for. He was just being himself and this was perfect. Travelled with 2 teenagers and chose Harlem and The Bronx as our destinations. Never a dull moment an visited places we would not have dared to go to on our own. Food was varied and tailored... More

I've lived in NYC my entire life and one of the best things about the city is you can never see all of it. I took my friend on this tour for her birthday. It was probably the best present idea ever and it is something we will never forget. We took the tour a few weeks ago and are... More

New York is an amazing city, full of amazing people. One such person is Dave. Down-to-earth, knowledgeable and easy going. Our second tour with Dave was as good as the first, which was no mean feat considering the first! After previously sauntering around places such as Red Hook and Rockaway, places I had never heard off let alone would have... More

I wanted to get something different for my husband's birthday because he's not someone who tends to want "stuff". Long story short, after reading all the great reviews, I took the plunge and bought him a Brooklyn food tour with Famous Fat Dave. My friends, it was a huge hit. We actually live in NYC (Queens), but Dave took us... More
