The Experience

What your day looks like

When do you think of New York City – what food comes to mind? If you said bagels, you’d most likely be in the majority. There’s nothing like an NYC bagel for breakfast, brunch, lunch - and heck for dinner too! Now you can experience the best of the best thanks to our EXCLUSIVE Private Bagel Making, Cragel, and Donut Deluxe NYC Food Tour. Now, this is not your ordinary NYC bagel tour. On our exclusive NYC private tour, you’ll have the rare opportunity to get hands-on by helping to make authentic New York bagels at the best bagel shop in the city! No food tour would be complete without sampling the fare – meaning you get to taste the best bagels, cream cheeses and lox the Big Apple has to offer as well! And it’s not just bagels you get to learn about – you’ll also visit the bagel shop that makes the world’s only “cragel” – a half-bagel, half-croissant, that combines the dense chewiness of the bagel with the buttery flakiness of the croissant. Finally, as you may have surmised by the title of this experience, you’ll finish on a sweet note with a donut from a famous donut shop that’s been a Brooklyn staple for over 60 years - and was featured in the latest Spider-Man movie!

Detailed Itinerary

The journey, in full

Your exclusive bagel adventure begins when your professional driver and expert, licensed tour guide pick you up at your hotel in a private luxury vehicle. From there you’ll head to your first stop, Utopia Bagels in Whitestone, Queens. Here you’ll not only discover the history of this iconic food and how it’s made, but you’ll also get a unique hands-on bagel rolling and baking experience! And of course, you’ll also get to sample those delicious hot fresh bagels, a variety of spreads, and a luxurious Lox sandwich. After that amazing experience, you’ll get back into your luxury vehicle and continue to the next stop on the tour, which is Bagel Point in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. This particular bagel shop is home to the famous “cragel” which is a pastry that combines a bagel and a croissant for one tasty treat. Here you will also get to sample the fare and if you would like, you can also take part in another hands-on rolling experience. And if that isn’t enough yumminess for one day, after your cragel expedition you’ll take a short stroll down the block to Brooklyn’s best donut shop, Peter Pan Donuts, where you’ll finish the day off with a sweet treat of your choice. When your NYC food tour comes to an end, and you are now officially a “bagel expert,” your luxury transfer will be waiting to take you back to your hotel or other predetermined drop-off location. * This is a suggested itinerary and can be adjusted to match your exact specifications.
