Noshwalks Bubbly epicure Myra Alperson uses food—and lots of it—to draw crowds to out-of-the-way neighborhoods in all 5 boroughs. A typical Noshwalk tempts you with treats from bakeries, groceries and restaurants; on past jaunts, Alperson has taken tour goers to a kosher matzo factory in Brooklyn and a Sri Lankan market in Staten Island. Oh, and there’s some walking, too.
