What you'll do

Welcome to the most deliciously fun food tour in NYC – The New York Sandwich Tour. This is your full-blown, borderline obsessive, deep-dive into New York City… told entirely through its sandwiches.

Across two hours - either in Manhattan or Brooklyn (you choose!) - we will eat seriously well, laugh a lot, and answer the hard-hitting question “is a hotdog a sandwich?” as we visit three incredible sandwich spots (plus a bar or two).

Along the way, we’ll devour a lineup of world-class sandwiches (approx. half a sandwich at each spot) - from the classics to the slightly unhinged - all hand-picked and taste-tested by people who take their “research” very seriously, us.

Between bites, we’ll mix in stories of NYC, the legends behind the food, and just enough knowledge to make you sound impressive at your next dinner party.

But here’s the real secret: the tour is not just about eating sandwiches. It’s about the banter, the debate, the unexpected discoveries, and that moment when you take a bite and quietly wonder if you should just cancel your flight home and stay here. It’s actually happened, no joke.

So skip the obvious tourist traps and come eat your way through New York the proper way — one sandwich at a time.

Book your spot, bring the hunger, and we’ll handle the rest.

Recent reviews of New York Sandwich Tasting Tour

5/5 from Katherine Rose, attended Nov 2026: We loved our sandwich tour! Our tour guide, Stefan, was so engaging and knowledgable and definitely got our group thinking about what really does make a sandwich! We LOVED that this tour was curated to our group being mostly locals-- the places we tried were so unique and different and really enjoyed getting out of our comfort zone!
5/5 from Taeo Carse, attended Oct 2026: Absolutely fantastic time with Ben! We are both native New Yorkers and he should us a new side to NY and loved every last bite!
5/5 from John Filimon, attended Sep 2026: This sandwich tour thru New York’s East Village was one of the most enjoyable experiences I’ve had in my 36 years living in NYC. Our tour guide Ben is amazing, knowledgable about the city and sandwiches and all-in-all a great guy. The sandwiches were delicious and filling. Couldn’t ask for more.
5/5 from Genaro Cruz, attended Sep 2026: The sandwich tasting tour was amazing! Ben, our guide was very knowledgeable about each location and the food was amazing!! I highly recommend it!!
5/5 from Larissa Burk, attended Jul 2026: Bens Sandwich Tour was so much fun!! We had an awesome time, Ben is a really good narrator and while having really tasty food we could also learn about food, taste and life of people from different cultures in New York. Ben showed us places that one could not find on your own. We are happy about the experience - thank you so much!!
5/5 from Thierry Berrod, attended May 2026: Nice tour. Thank you Ben

5/5 from Mandy Sheng, attended Feb 2026: My husband and I had a blast on the tour! Ben is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the history of sandwiches and chose local spots with unique flavors that we wouldn't have discovered on our own. We had some really fun conversations along the way about what is or is not a sandwich. I would recommend it 10/10!
5/5 from Jonathan Rowell, attended Jan 2026: Really fun sandwich tour in the East Village! We went to three very different and unique places that I would have never gone to if it we're for the tour. All three were delicious and Ben told us cool history along the way. I would definitely go on another one of his tours and highly recommend him!
5/5 from Christopher Hackett, attended Dec 2025: Had a great time. Ben our tour guide was great. He was very knowledgeable about the area. The history of the spots we went to as well as the neighborhood. Looking forward to doing another tour in Williamsburg.
5/5 from Chloe, attended Feb 2025: Ben is the absolute best! The places he took us to in Williamsburg are hidden gems that are now favorites for me and friends. Favorite part was learning the history of sandwiches and getting an immersive look into how every store came about. Delicious food, great banter, and tons of fun. As a Brooklyn local, I appreciate how Ben pays homage to each store owner and their craft.
5/5 from Shannon, attended Feb 2025: AMAZING tour! Ben was very knowledgable about each spot and gave us even a bit of history! Every sandwhich was incredible. Would do this again at one of his other neighborhood tours.

5/5 from Maria, attended Feb 2025: Did this walking tour with my coworkers and had SO much fun! Ben was an awesome guide and took us to all the best spots in Williamsburg. One hidden gem totally blew my mind — I’ve already gone back a bunch of times with friends and family. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. Such a fun team outing, highly highly recommend!
5/5 from Dylan, attended Feb 2025: This was such a fun activity to do while visiting New York. We were taken to a bunch of the best sandwich places in Brooklyn and got a taste of the city and its culinary history. Would recommend for people visiting NYC or for a fun spin on a team building lunch.

After moving to NYC as a lawyer in 2016, a single New York sandwich changed Ben Gollan's life. The pastrami sandwich from Harry and Ida's Deli (RIP) convinced him to leave behind the law and instead become a New York sandwich tour guide. He's never looked back!

Since then, we have hosted thousands of guests on our sandwich walking tours and online cooking classes - over 26, 000 of them to be exact. Having now received 2, 600+ reviews from our amazing guests, Ben has become the #1 reviewed NYC host on the Airbnb Experiences platform.

Ben has also been featured on national TV, broadcast radio, multiple print media publications, podcasts, and panels all to talk about sandwiches! Not bad for a kid originally from Sydney, Australia.
