We felt like we had a friend showing us some of the best hidden spots of the East End with stops for some of the most delicious food. Honestly, out of 6 stops, we couldn't even pick a favorite dish. Definitely come hungry and wear comfortable shoes, because you do walk a fair bit. And be sure to save room for the final stop!”
