1 stop
Meals: snacks
Accommodation: Overnight at La Quinta Inn Boston Somerville, MA

Boston

You’ll meet your tour guide at 5:00 p.m. and get to know each other before heading out to explore downtown Boston and its incredible food scene. You’ll learn all about Boston seafood culture and the traditional cuisine its coastal inhabitants have enjoyed for millenia thanks to the bounty of fish and shellfish off Cape Cod and from the Atlantic Ocean. Among the variety of foods we might be enjoying on our night out on the town are some local clams blended up to make the irresistible creamy concoction we love and know as New England–style chowder. Another native dish you can’t miss while in Beantown is the loaded lobster roll, a flavorful seafood sandwich that has gained immense popularity over the course of its one hundred-year history. Your guide will fill you up and fill you in on the history of each dish as you dine in some of Boston’s most historic and noteworthy restaurants.

Day 2: Experience a full day of Boston food and History!

3 stops
Meals: breakfast, lunch
Accommodation: Overnight at La Quinta Inn Boston Somerville, MA

North End

Experience a full day of food and history starting with a Boston food tour of the North End! We’ve indulged in the city’s seafood scene – now it’s time to explore the best of Boston’s baked goods. This charming neighborhood is known for its Italian eateries featuring freshly baked artisanal breads and old-school establishments serving up sizzling slices of pizza that’ll have your taste buds singing. This small slice of Italy also has some of Boston’s best coffee shops where we can enjoy a lovely latte or cappuccino and really wake up all your senses.

The Freedom Trail

Your local tour guide will lead you on a walk along Boston’s Freedom Trail, a stretch of sites that recount the events leading up to and during the American Revolution. Along the way, you’ll see Boston Common, America's oldest public park; the Old State House and the infamous site of the Boston Massacre; and Faneuil Hall, which has long served as a meeting place for Bostonians.

Harvard University

After our Boston sightseeing tour, you’ll ride over to Harvard University for a stroll around the campus. Here, we’ll pass through Harvard Square, stroll under the leafy canopy of Harvard Yard, and walk past some stunning architecture from the Victorian Gothic Memorial Hall to the university’s renowned Natural History Museum. Afterwards, your guide will have plenty of post-tour dinner recommendations in and around Cambridge.

New Haven

Our East Coast adventure will next take us to New York City, where we’ll have a couple of days to experience the highlights of the city that truly never sleeps. But first, food! Before we hit the city streets, we’ll make a stop in the quaint New England harbortown of New Haven, home to Yale University. Here, we’ll have time for a pizza lunch to fuel up for our first day in NYC.

The High Line

After checking into our hotel, you’ll enjoy a stroll with your guide up on New York’s High Line, a former elevated railroad line that survived total demolition to become one of the city’s most popular destinations and a place for New Yorkers to escape and enjoy a sliver of nature above the busy streets. We’ll enjoy its curated gardens, wildspaces, and overlooks before we step inside historic Chelsea Market.

Chelsea Market

The historic Chelsea Market, not only a bustling food hall and shopping mall, but also the original home of a factory responsible for inventing one of our favorite sandwich cookies, the Oreo!

Lower East Side

With all the tantalizing food vendors in the Chelsea market, you’ll be ready for another food tour, this time in New York City’s Lower East Side. Here, we’ll stop at stores run by generations of immigrants who have kept their culinary traditions alive in this unique neighborhood. Enjoy everything from knishes and pickles to bialys and babka!

We’ll start out our day right with a breakfast food tour in the trendy DUMBO neighborhood, where industrial warehouses have been transformed into boutique shops, restaurants, and cafes.

Brooklyn Bridge

We’ll need to walk off some of those calories and no trip to New York is complete without a leisurely walk over the iconic Brooklyn Bridge. Your guide will share stories of the bridge’s impressive construction as you take in the amazing views of Manhattan.

Statue of Liberty

We’ll then head over to the west side of the city to catch the Staten Island Ferry, which will take us to another top NYC attraction, the Statue of Liberty!

Amish Country

Today, we’ll be trading skyscrapers and nightlights for scenic pastures and nature out in Amish Country. After a drive out to the heart of Pennsylvania, we’ll stop to enjoy lunch with an Amish family on a farm, and then ride through the countryside to visit roadside stands and shops to find the best baked goods, ice cream, and more! If you really want to experience the local traditional cuisine of the Pennsylvania Dutch, you might want to try the cornmeal mush known as scrapple or grab a jar of locally made apple butter for the road. As we continue to roll past Pennsylvania’s rolling hills, meandering streams, and endless stretches of corn and wheat fields, your guide will share the history of the Amish and Mennonite people who inhabit this area and some of the cultural practices they’re known – or oftentimes mistaken – for.

Philadelphia

Get ready for our Day 5 destination, Philadelphia! We’ll arrive late afternoon in the City of Brotherly Love, with time to check into your hotel. First on our check-off list for food here: the best classic Philly Cheesesteak! We’ll take you to the best joint in town and teach you how to order like a true local. Afterwards, you’re welcome to keep exploring the city or head back to the hotel to charge up for another day of city sightseeing.

Day 6 - Philadelphia, PA Today, we’ll be setting out on a full city tour that includes the top historic attractions in Philadelphia. Visit the very location where both the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution were signed at Independence Hall, pass by the homes of notable Philly residents like Betsy Ross and Benjamin Franklin, and get up close to the very symbol of American freedom, the Liberty Bell. With its cobblestone streets, preserved brick row houses, and stately colonial architecture, you’ll feel transported right back to the days of the American Revolution.

Reading Terminal Market

After we’ve had our fill of U.S. history, we’ll head across town to the famous food hall, Reading Terminal Market, where you’ll experience a maze of food stalls serving up everything from cream-filled cannolis to freshly made hand-rolled doughnuts.

Italian Market

Once you’ve worked up an appetite, we’ll head to the historic 9th Street Italian Market for a variety of food tastings. The generations-owned shops that line this hundred-year market offer up everything imaginable, like famous Philly tomato pie, artisanal cheeses from all over the world, and much, much more.
