“We’re
so excited that Somerville has been recognized for being such a great culinary
hot spot,” said Jacqueline Morales, director of Somerset County Tourism.
“There’s so much diversity here and we’re looking forward to showing the
public all the great restaurants and bars that are making downtown Somerville
such a great place to visit and live.”
Food
writer Intersimone agreed. “The restaurant scene in downtown Somerville
is a true hidden gem, with so many amazing mom-and-pop eateries that make
deciding on your dinner spot a difficult choice,” she said. “Bringing a
food tour here was a no-brainer, and it will be so much fun to give our
guests a sample of this ever-growing local culinary scene.”
Jersey
Girls Food Tours specializes in bringing foodies to New Jersey’s bustling
downtowns that offer opportunities for these exclusive dining excursions;
its other tours cover the company’s hometown of Jersey City in Hudson County,
Red Bank in Monmouth County, Princeton in Mercer County and Rutherford
in Bergen County. The owners, Alessia Aron and Janis Borroto, select local
establishments with interesting stories and experiences to share with diners,
who, according to Aron, often remark about the high quality and ample quantity
of food offered.
