Angelis Nannos, a native Greek, worked for five years as a culinary guide and writer in Istanbul, Turkey, an experience that added up to millions of "flight hours" over tables of succulent kebabs, char-coaled smoky eggplants and hills of cumin & crushed chilies. A horde of international food writers, chefs & travel journalists, followed by a few thousands of travelers from all around the globe, trusted Angelis to feed both, their imagination and their tummies. And then, they graciously spread rave reviews in the world's biggest newspapers, travel publications, food mags and every kind of international social media. All drown in gallons of raki & olive oil. But then......HE VISITED NYC...KABOOM! Upon visiting Manhattan for the first time - although he felt like he was cheating on Istanbul - he nevertheless renounced in a heartbeat simit for NYC's bagels, Balkan style tursu for LES pickles and ayran for Brooklyn's egg cream!
Join our Gourmet Tour at the Metropolitan Museum! An immensely fun -- yet sophisticated -- experience, through the MET’s food-related artworks! We've always seen the Metropolitan Museum of Art as one of the biggest culinary-art serving restaurants of the world! Instead of boeuf bourguignon and Bordeaux wine, the MET's menu predominantly features feast-depicting paintings, sculptures of kitchen scenes, food preparation utensils, cooking machinery, and so much more! For the entire duration of your 2-hour tour, you will be "served": Delicious stories to satiate your hunger for all things art and food. Entertaining food history trivia. As well as artworks connecting food with a wide range of social issues like gender equality, politics, marketing, you name it! The tour is great for real foodies, art lovers, first time and seasoned MET visitors alike, locals, out-of-towners! Don't miss the chance of a mouth-watering experience! * There is not any food served on the tour, as MET's policy doesn't allow food consumption in the galleries
