To buy tickets, guests can visit jerseygirlsfoodtours.com. Tickets must be purchased in advance and tend to sell out quickly. Those with food allergies and sensitivities can always be accommodated.
In coming months, expect to see other tour themes, including a bar-focused tour featuring some of the best spots for a drink in Somerville. Tours in Somerville will be scheduled once a month.
“The restaurant scene in downtown Somerville is a true hidden gem, featuring tons of amazing mom and pop eateries that make deciding on your dinner spot a difficult choice,” said Intersimone. “Bringing a food tour here was a no-brainer, and we’re excited to give our guests a sample of this ever-growing local culinary scene.”
