CURB YOUR APPETITE

You and a guest will join Urban Oyster Tours for a strolling lunch in Midtown Manhattan to sample an international buffet of offerings. As you feast, observe the engineering miracle of cramming a full kitchen into an improbably small cart, and hear the stories of their proprietors - from entrepreneurial immigrants, to culinary school drop-outs, to former 4-star restaurant chefs. Along the way, learn about the history of the neighborhood, the history of lunch, and the challenges of running these thriving but feverishly demanding small businesses.  You will never look at street carts the same way again once you see, and taste, the delectable dishes that are crafted in these curbside kitchens.
