Short Description
  • We’ll begin our day on this Los Angeles food tour with a tea ceremony in its atmospheric Chinatown, followed by a taste of some of the most innovative tacos around. Afterwards we’ll rummage through a tiny Vietnamese bodega to find LA’s best Báhn Mì and continue our walk down Olvera Street, stopping for taquitos at the spot where they were invented, before checking out Union Station and Pueblo de Los Angeles, including Avila Adobe, built in 1818 – the oldest existing residence in the city.
  • Traversing the Hollywood Freeway, we’ll discuss how cars and then later freeways transformed Los Angeles into the postmodern paradise it is today before we make our way into the pedestrian-friendly backstreets of Little Tokyo to sample some of the most authentic Japanese food in America. Walking down Broadway we’ll marvel at the most impressive architecture and sample some of the best bites inside LA’s oldest food market. All along the way we’ll stop for other surprises, both edible and cultural.
