Taking a lunch break with co-workers is a thing of the past; stopping what you’re doing at work to sit down at a table and eat with colleagues has almost become a luxury. Some companies don’t even have a spot within their building to eat on site meals together. Let’s start off with all the reasons coworkers might NOT want to eat together. One might say, “eating with my peers is a waste of time”, or “it’s too costly to go out with work contacts when I’m on a budget and would prefer to prioritize other relationships”, or “less time spent at my desk during the day, requires more time spent after hours,” or even “taking time to eat with my co-workers leaves me distracted and negatively effects my productivity rate.” Sure, those points are heard; however, with a change…

Team building activities can be fun, but are they really effective? Are they worth the investment? You’ll do whatever it takes to create a better, more efficient work environment, but is there solid evidence of increased teamwork and communication as a result of team building activities? Here are 5 things Team Building Activities can do for you: 1. Boost Morale Variety is the spice of life. Getting out of the office to share a new experience can breathe life into a team and revitalize communication. If you’re always in the same routine chances are you’re facing the same challenges day in and day out. Switching things up and spending time together in a new environment can give you a new perspective. When you come back to the routine you just might have inspired a spark of creative thinking that will…

If the old saying “families who eat together stay together” is true, how about applying that philosophy to your workplace? When you’re thinking about your next team-building activity, consider the power of an excursion with Sidewalk Food Tours to connect colleagues. Everyone loves a good meal, and it’s even better when you can share the food with others. At the workplace, this could be as easy as going out for lunch or sitting in the breakroom together over sandwiches. But those gatherings usually involve only two people, maybe three or four. How about the whole enchilada, as it were? The popular blog TeamBonding believes an off-site meal is a great way to encourage camaraderie among co-workers: “Sharing food and having fellowship with the people you work with will greatly enhance creativity and communication skills.” Research also supports the notion that teams sharing…

If you picked October as the month to visit San Francisco, consider yourself savvy. Things are really starting to heat up here — yes, we’re talking about the weather. As the rest of the country begins the slow crawl into winter, the Bay Area is humming along in its usual warm autumnal temps that the locals refer to as the real summer. Famous as much for its chilly Julys and Augusts as for its sourdough and Dungeness crab, the pleasant weather of September and October means it’s the perfect time to hit the pavement and explore the city (without a jacket in the afternoon). San Francisco is popular for its scenery and cuisine, but both are in such abundance that it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. After all, the city’s nearly 3,500 restaurants make it the most densely packed food town…

Welcome to the Sidewalks of NY Blog! Stay tuned for tasty tips!

While many will be enjoying a traditional Christmas celebration full of festive cheer and stockings hung by the chimney with care, others favor a different form of Holiday festivities. Whether it’s observing the Jewish tradition of Chinese and a movie on Christmas or creating your own version of Festivus, each of us celebrates in a special way. And many of us struggle with the conundrum of finding delicious restaurant options that are open on Christmas. Luckily for all of us, San Francisco’s Chinatown is very much open on Christmas Day, and we’ve compiled a list of our favorite spots for you to enjoy. Of the more well-known yet still delicious options, you can’t go wrong with the delightfully spicy Szechuan cuisine at Z&Y Restaurant (after all, President Obama has eaten here).  Another of the heavy hitters is Danny Bowien’s Mission Chinese Food; the kitschy decorations and…

We are very excited to announce the launch of our new Chinatown Food Tour in San Francisco!  We now have the opportunity to share not only the tastes of our favorite dim sum and Peking duck, but also the fascinating history and architecture of the oldest Chinatown in the US. Did you know that the San Francisco Chinatown is the largest Chinese community outside of Asia? The San Francisco Planning Department declared it “the most densely populated urban area west of Manhattan.” This means endless opportunities to discover new and delicious things down the winding alleys and in the shops scattered throughout the streets.   We hope you have an opportunity to check out this awesome addition to the Sidewalk Tours family.

Join us on our food tours in Wicker Park and River North and you will taste a lot of amazing foods. From deep dish pizza at Lou Malnati’s to Mexican fare at Xoco in River North; and tacos from Antique Taco to The famous Harold’s Fried Chicken there are savory and sweet delights for everyone. So, let us tease your tastebuds as we eat our way through these delicious neighborhoods.

Our walking food tours in the neighborhoods of Wicker Park and River North are designed to teach you about the history, culture and architecture of the Windy City, as well as keep your belly full of the local fare. We eat delectable foods from six unique food establishments that tell a story about the neighborhood. We visit ethnic eateries, mom-and-pop shops and restaurants from some of the best chefs in Chicago. Our food tours are about 2 miles in length and we walk at a nice leisurely pace, all the while “noshing” on Chicago staples like deep-dish pizza and hotdogs, as well as gourmet soups from award-winning celebrity chef Rick Bayless. Join us on a walking tour, as our professional sightseeing food tour guides tell fun and interesting stories and point our architectural flourishes not found in your typical guide book.
