Hoboken Tours announces Mangia Hoboken!

The Hoboken Food & Culture Tour.

“We offer a weekly walking tour for small groups that features a behind-the-scenes look at the world-class food establishments which highlight historic Hoboken's Italian heritage,” said Tour Director Avi Ohring. “The tour will focus on family-owned businesses, where everything is still made by hand and you have a good chance of running into the owner. Compared to New York City food tours given in Little Italy or the Lower East Side, people will find this tour to be a more authentic experience.”

Highlights of the tour include Carlo's City Hall Bake Shop, home of "Cake Boss," the hit series seen weekly on TLC. One of Hoboken's wholesale Italian bread bakeries will be featured, as well as a few establishments where fresh mozzarella cheese is handmade daily. There will also be stops at points of local historical interest such as the site of Frank Sinatra's childhood home.

Tours will depart every Saturday afternoon from the Hoboken PATH station (corner of River St. & Hudson Place). The tour is about three hours in length and the $40 cost includes all food samples. Tickets and more information is available at http://www.hobokenfoodtour.com. »
