Yelp Review for Liz Young Tours

5 star rating
04/12/2008

Today 15 of my friends and I toured Hell's Kitchen with Liz. We had a great experience, visited restaurants, grocery stores and specialty shops, and basically ate our way up and down 9th Avenue. Liz is a real professional and you are guaranteed a great culinary experience when you go with her. This was my 4th tour with Liz and I highly recommend taking the following tours: Tribeca, West Village, Battery Park and Hell's Kitchen. While in Hell's Kitchen, make sure she takes you for cupcakes!
