Hoboken Tours Announces Mangia Hoboken!, the First Weekly Hoboken Food & Culture Tour

Mangia Hoboken! celebrate's the food and culture of Hoboken, NJ with guided walking tours exploring the world-class Italian food establishments that have been in business for decades.

Hoboken, NJ (PRWEB) July 9, 2009 -- 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. Two 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 Saturday afternoon from the Hoboken PATH station. The tour is about three hours in length and the $40 cost includes all food samples.

Avi Ohring has been a Hoboken resident since 1986. As a lifetime member of the Hoboken Historical Society he has led numerous Hoboken House and Hoboken Secret Garden Tours.
