Fun way to eat and discover NYC!

Interesting and delicious exploration of Greenwich Village, NYC with Hannah. She's a very knowledgable and easy-to-like guide as we discover hidden gems of the NYC food culture. We also were introduced to some of the historical and modern famous places as we walked through Greenwich Village! Flat, easy walking for about 2 1/2 hours: a great way to explore a really charming part of the city!

Thank you for sharing your experience, Helen! Hannah is dedicated to showcasing the hidden gems and the rich history of Greenwich Village - providing our guests with a memorable experience. We believe that combining food culture with historical insights adds a special dimension to our tours. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you on another Secret Food Tour soon!

We took the Walking Food Tour on September 8, 2023 with our tour guide, Patrick. Patrick was wonderful. He shared his many personal experiences in Little Italy and Chinatown and was a wealth of knowledge. The food at his hand picked locations was excellent beginning with the sausage dumplings, through the mozzarella and prosciutto ending with pizza and many other food stops along the way. The tour was scenic and an insight into how the locals live and eat. I would highly recommend this tour, and if possible get Patrick as the guide.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're glad that you enjoyed our food tour led by Patrick. It's awesome knowing that he provided you with insightful information about Little Italy and Chinatown - creating a memorable experience for you. We appreciate your recommendation. We'd like to invite you to join us again for another culinary adventure. Thank you for choosing us for your food tour experience!

Could not have asked for a better host to walk us through Greenwich Village during our conversation Secret food tour. Louis Was kind considerate and full of information about the food and the local area. This was our first time doing a food tour. it was so much fun we will certainly do another one.

We went on the Greenwich tour on a Saturday. Our tour guide, Amanda, was great. She was friendly, engaging and attentive - one of the best walking tour guides I have seen. The tour was exactly as described in the write-up - the stops were for a mini cupcake, pizza slice, bagel with schmear, falafel, a "surprise" (which was, in my view, the best stop), and a cookie. As pointed out by some of the other reviews, none of the stops were particularly secret (we likely would have stopped at a few just by wandering around Greenwich) and, as compared to other food tours, it was not a huge amount of food (but we were full!). That said, it was a pleasant way to explore Greenwich and very yummy.

Thank you for sharing your experience, Anu! We're glad that you enjoyed your time with our guide, Amanda. Regarding the stops, we understand your perspective. While we make it a point to introduce guests to the local flavors, we also want to provide insights into the culinary culture of Greenwich Village. It's important to note that what may seem like non-secret stops often have unique stories and flavors that our guides love to share - adding depth to the experience. As for the portion sizes, we do focus on quality over quantity to ensure you savor each bite! Thanks again for choosing Secret Food Tours. We hope to welcome you back for another delicious journey soon!

The tour group turned out to be just my husband and me but it wasn't awkward at all with our guide, Justin. He took us all over the West Village and was so knowledgable and friendly. The food at all our stops was excellent and all of it representative of the best NY has to offer in those categories (bagels, cupcakes, falafel, pizza, a huge chocolate chip cookie, and a secret dish). We learned lots of NY history along the way and the 3-hour tour was over before we knew it.

Thank you for sharing your review, Sara! We appreciate your feedback and we're pleased that you had an awesome time with our guide, Justin. Exploring the rich history of New York while indulging in its flavors is what makes our tours unique - we're delighted that you found it immersive and engaging. We invite you to join us again on future adventures, and remember, Secret Food Tours is present in over 60 cities worldwide, ensuring you can savor more culinary secrets wherever you travel. Thank you for choosing Secret Food Tours, and we look forward to serving you again soon!

This is great and fun way to see other areas of NYC and experience great food and restaurants. Our guide Patrick was great.

From “New York Times,” I’m Michael Barbaro. This is “The Daily.”

[THEME MUSIC]

Today, US officials now acknowledge a growing fear that Russia may be trying to put a nuclear weapon into Earth’s orbit. But, as my colleague, Eric Lipton, explains, their real worry is that America could lose the battle for military supremacy in space.

It’s Wednesday, February 28.

Eric, this story began in a pretty unusual way. I actually watched it unfold on social media in real time, and it started with a very cryptic message from a member of Congress. So just tell us about that.

Sure. Well, Representative Mike Turner, who’s chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, put out a message, saying —

Today, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence has made available to all members of Congress information —

— that he had information, concerning a serious national security threat. And it was an unusual kind of a statement from the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.

I’m requesting that President Biden declassify all information relating to this threat so that Congress, the administration —

And so he didn’t really tell us what this was about, but he —

He told us to be very scared.

Yes. And it immediately set off a scramble of national security reporters to try to figure out what that message meant. And pretty quickly —

Congressman Turner is referring to a foreign military capability, and that foreign military is the Russian military.

Reporters heard that this had to do with Russia and with a new type of military threat.

And what exactly was this new kind of military threat?

The intelligence that our “New York Times” colleagues have collected is that Russia is preparing to put a weapon in space that would blow up a nuclear device. And when it did that, it would be used to target United States surveillance satellites.

OK. So here, we need to slow down and explain what that means, why it’s so alarming, why nukes would ever be in space. So disentangle all of that.

I think that few Americans realize just how vital space is to the military defense of the United States. For decades, the United States has been building effectively school bus-sized satellites that cost a massive amounts of money. They’re these exquisite systems that just sit there in space and provide incredible information. And we rely upon all of the assets that we have for navigation, for communication, for missile defense, for missile targeting. And it’s something that is one of the great powers that the United States is to have all of this equipment floating around above us. But the real flaw in the United States military space system is that there aren’t very many of them, and you don’t have to take out too many of them to severely disable the United States’ capacities.

Got it. So back to this congressman, Turner, and his message, why would the Russians need a nuclear element to their efforts to challenge America’s satellite programs in space?

Russia sees potentially a nuclear weapon as a way to take out large numbers of satellites in an instant.

It would fry them. It would destroy them. It would create all kinds of debris in space. And I think what’s really going on here is the Russians in the early stages of their invasion of Ukraine were really frustrated that they were not able to really block the ability of the Ukrainian military to continue to communicate. And that’s because the Ukrainian military was relying on SpaceX, and Elon Musk, and his network of Starlink satellites to continue to operate. And it was actually in late 2022 when the Russians said, you know what? Those American satellites are getting in our way, and we may choose to target those satellites in the future. And I think that’s what might be going on right now.

Got it. So Russia has decided that a way for it to achieve any kind of military advantage over the US and have success in things like its invasion of Ukraine is to be able to threaten the United States’ satellite infrastructure in space in such a way that might make it hard for the US to effectively fight back against Russia.

That’s right. On the ground, Russia’s been using what they call GPS jammers to disrupt the signals from satellites that are coming down in Ukraine on the ground, as they’re fighting the war. But everything from the location of the soldier on the ground, to when there’s a missile that’s launched that’s targeting the United States, to how a ship communicates with another ship, everything goes through space. And I think that’s one of the weakest points that the United States has, and it’s the ability to mess up or disable their space-based communications, targeting surveillance.

You’re saying that, when a rival like Russia thinks about how it could actually and efficiently take out America’s eyes and ears of our entire military, it turns out there’s really only one answer, and that’s by doing it in space.

Right. It doesn’t matter how big and powerful the weapon systems are. If they can’t target and they can’t communicate, they’re basically useless.

OK. So if you believe that Russia could put a nuclear weapon in space that could hurt our ability to have eyes and ears on what they’re doing, that would be very scary. But how confident are we that Vladimir Putin can in fact put a nuclear weapon in space that’s capable of doing that?

Given that in fact there’s already been nuclear tests in space in the 1960s, the idea of them doing this is not out of the realm of technical possibilities. It would be a violation of an international treaty, but Russia hasn’t shown much concern about violating international treaties. So I don’t think technically it would be that much of a challenge. It would destabilize the world because suddenly you’d have nuclear weapons in space. And it would cross a line that so far, no one has crossed. But the notion, can it be done? I think it could be done.

And I guess the question is not just, can it be done, but how confident is the US that Russia intends to do it and how quickly?

That’s really unclear, and I think that there’s a lot of speculation even about exactly what this weapon might be. It could be a nuclear-powered anti-satellite device that blows out satellites but just the nuclear-powered. It could be a nuclear weapon in space that explodes and blows out anything anywhere nearby. And we don’t know when this potential Russian weapon is going to go up into orbit or whether or not in fact it ever really will.

But what this does show a bit is that it’s a bit of a Hail Mary by Russia, a way to try to exert its influence in space at a moment when Russia is actually a declining power relative to the other nations in the world.

Just explain that. How can Russia be a declining power right now in space?

Russia is not launching nearly as frequently as it had been, and its whole infrastructure around building new satellites is in decline, particularly compared to China, which is launching at a crazy pace right now and putting up all kinds of new commercial communication systems but also devices that could become offensive weapons against the United States. So at the end of the day, when I talk to people at the Pentagon, despite the noise that Russia is making about potentially putting a nuclear weapon in space, the biggest threat to the United States in space is actually China.

We’ll be right back.

So, Eric, we started off talking about the threat that it seemed Russia posed to the United States because of its willingness to potentially put a nuclear weapon in space. Now you’re saying that for the US military, the real threat in space is China. So just explain that.

China, as of at least the last decade, as part of a overall significant surge in its military capacity, space has been an incredibly intense focus. It has been launching at a really rapid pace, far ahead of Russia. And it’s not only putting communications satellites up there, but it’s putting systems that could potentially grab onto, move, and disable American military satellites.

Well, how does that work? How does something that they launch into space grab onto an American satellite?

Well, in January of 2022, China put a satellite into space that had an arm that reached out and grabbed another satellite that was there in geosynchronous orbit.

And it dragged it to a different location.

So basically, they found a way to put a tow truck up in space and showed that if they wanted to, they could move any satellite.

That’s right. They showed that they had the ability to not only send satellites up there but to send trucks that had the capacity to grab onto maybe an enemy’s surveillance system and basically put it into a dead zone. Another thing that China did was in 2007 — this is quite a while ago — they launched a missile up to about 530 miles, which is far into space. And they destroyed another satellite that was in orbit, and it created an incredible cloud of space debris, the largest amount of space debris ever tracked. And it was quite a worrisome thing for the United States to see that China has the capacity to launch missiles from the ground that would destroy satellites and blow them up in low Earth orbit.

Got it. So both examples that you just described are much more targeted than what Russia is contemplating, moving one satellite or using a missile to take one out. But the upshot is that China can disrupt our eyes and ears in space in a probably better, more efficient way than Russia. And you’re saying given how much stuff they’ve put up in space, they’re more likely to already be able to do it than Russia, which is still trying to get to that point.

Right. The big difference between Russia and China right now, as a space threat, is that China is moving rapidly on both offensive and defensive systems. China’s talking about building a state network of 13,000 satellites on a scale that’s completely outside of what Russia is attempting to do. China is investing a lot more money and it’s moving much faster right now to put new systems in space. And those systems are both going to threaten United States’ satellites and also have kind of a surveillance that would almost rival the United States.

So I want to understand where the US sits in all of this because when it comes to space, it feels like the thing that would make the US military so anxious about a rival’s advancements in space is if we couldn’t match them, or we couldn’t properly respond to them. So what is the US readiness right now to basically match or fight back against whatever Russia and China are doing in space?

Everyone I talk to from the Pentagon and also former Pentagon officials all agree that the United States maintains clear dominance in space. It has more satellites for surveillance, and missile targeting, and missile defense than any other nation. Both the United States and China have moved in a really rapid way into a new domain, and that is low Earth orbit. That’s about no greater than 1,200 miles off the surface of the Earth, and it’s the area where SpaceX has put more than 5,000 satellites for its Starlink system. That’s the focus right now is to flood that zone with lots of relatively-cheap, quickly-manufactured, easy-to-replace satellite systems. And the United States wants to put at least a thousand satellites into low Earth orbit for its military purposes in the next several years.

Among the many concerns that the American military has is that China is moving so rapidly right now to build out its own system that unless the United States really accelerates what it’s doing that soon China could be close to matching what the US has in space and that China now has enough surveillance capacity in space to target American military capacity in any type of a conflict. Imagine the scenario where China decides to invade Taiwan, and the United States decides that it’s going to help defend Taiwan. If all of our military assets are immediately visible to China, they could be targeted even before they got to the Taiwan Straits or even before they got within range to have a military engagement. And simultaneously, China’s offensive space weapons were disabling American satellites so that the United States could no longer communicate. That’s the fear that the military has right now is both of those things could suddenly happen if the United States is not building up its own space capacity and its space weapons to disable Chinese satellites.

Got it. So the worry — and it’s very specific — is that if China can achieve the same level of military prowess in space as the US, then the US loses any power it has to deter China from doing something like invade Taiwan because we know and they know that we know that they can basically shut down our systems before and during that invasion and make it impossible for us to stop them.

It would severely degrade military capacity if they could wipe out a good share of our satellites, and they’re racing to try to avoid that.

So, Eric, what does it look like for the US to race to avoid China meeting America’s capabilities where they currently are? How does the US military do that? Obviously, it would need to either slow China down, or the US itself would need to speed up and race ahead of China.

There’s two primary things that are happening right now. One is to build out US offensive systems to disable Chinese or Russian satellites. So that includes jamming systems — they just signed a new contract to build new devices that could jam Chinese or Russian satellites and disrupt their signals — laser systems that could destroy satellites from the ground or from space, and also other systems that they — just like the Chinese have built a tug in space, the United States potentially is going to build its own systems that could grab and disable other satellites in space.

The second piece of this plank is to build out a massive investment in space capacity by the United States, to build a whole new architecture in low Earth orbit, with hundreds, if not more than a thousand satellites that would be so many, so redundant that you couldn’t effectively disable the United States’ military capacity because even if you were to shoot out a certain number of them, there would be yet more of them, sort of like Starlink right now, the SpaceX Starlink. If it loses a certain number of its 5,800 satellites, they just switch, and they rebuild the network among the remaining satellites. Basically, everyone knows that the next time there’s a major war, with a major power, that there’s going to be offensive activity in space, and both sides are preparing for that.

Wow. What you’re clearly describing is a new space race, a space race that’s about which of these three global superpowers can take out the other’s satellites and use their satellites offensively and defensively to achieve military supremacy.

Yeah, that’s right. I think that there’s a new space race that’s underway right now, and it is more intense than at any time since really the 1960s, when the United States and Russia were testing weapons in space for the first time. And it is very intense, and the increase in spending on space right now radically exceeds anything that the Navy, or the traditional Air Force, or the Army is doing. More dollars are pouring into space defense right now as a percentage increase. It’s more than any other part of the military.

Eric, this makes me wonder, how much the US, in its efforts to do those two things you just described out in space, is ultimately reliant on contractors, the private sector, and in particular Elon Musk, right, this guy who has put so many satellites up in the sky but whose mercurial and unique, to put it diplomatically. So is the US’s plan for staying ahead of both Russia and China to ultimately put more and more power in the hands of Elon Musk?

Right now, there’s no question that SpaceX and Elon Musk plays an extraordinarily dominant role in the ability to launch to orbit, and the military is excessively reliant on SpaceX. So at this moment, it’s an uncomfortable domination by SpaceX. Of the 9,400 objects in orbit right now, 5,235 of them are SpaceX Starlink satellites. So almost all of the satellites in orbit from any nation in the world are Elon Musk. But the Department of Defense realizes that it can’t be so reliant upon one company for launch. And so the Pentagon is also signing contracts with small launch companies to quickly be able to put military satellites into space, with just a few days notice.

And so there’s a lot of money that’s being spent to build out this capacity.

Right. So what you’re really saying is that this new space race is going to come with and foster a new space military industrial complex that’s going to be the recipient of many billions, maybe trillions of dollars in taxpayer money.

That’s right. The United States is already in the middle of an incredible explosion in the commercial space industry because the number of commercial launches is growing at a really crazy rate. And in the entire world right now, there are approximately 10,000 objects in orbit. And within the next 10 years, the expectation that it’s going to be something like 25,000 satellites in orbit. So there’s a huge boom right now in the space industry globally.

So, Eric, when I step back, it feels like the inevitable outcome of this new space race, this weapons space race is a very potentially expensive version of what we already have, which is that famous concept of mutually assured destruction, right? It’s this idea that all three of these countries have nuclear weapons, and it keeps us all in check — Russia, China, the US. We don’t attack each other directly because we all fear that the other country attacked would fire back in obliterating ways that would never make it worth it. And so isn’t that where we’re headed with this battle over space? All three countries are going to be spending a tremendous amount of money eventually to reach some kind of loose parity that prevents us all from doing something really horrible to the other country.

I sort of reject your premise. And I think that in fact the thing that the United States is concerned about is it has had such a massive advantage in space for so long, and it’s been so central to our global military supremacy. And suddenly, if you have another nation that’s walking in and becoming your rival in that environment, that’s really worrisome to the American military. And they’re determined to prevent China from matching the United States military capacity in space.

You’re saying this is not about the three countries ever achieving parity. It’s about the US ensuring that parity is never achieved because if it’s achieved, then everything changes.

Right. I think that basically the Pentagon wants to ensure that it can maintain dominance in space and not just parity because space-based dominance is so vital to the way that the United States military has operated for years now.

[AMBIENT MUSIC]

Well, Eric, thank you very much. We appreciate it.

Thanks for having me.

Here’s what else you need to know today. On Tuesday, President Biden summoned House and Senate leaders to the White House in an attempt to avoid the latest potential government shutdown. That shutdown, which could begin at midnight on Saturday, would be the result of strident demands from House Republicans, who have attached right-wing policies to basic spending bills that have made them impossible to pass in the Senate.

We believe that we can get to agreement on these issues and prevent a government shutdown, and that’s our first responsibility.

As he left the White House, Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson expressed optimism that a shutdown would be averted.

And we have been working in good faith around the clock every single day, for months and weeks and over the last several days quite literally around the clock, to get that job done.

And in a rebuke to President Biden, more than 100,000 Democratic voters in Michigan cast protest ballots that declared themselves uncommitted to express disapproval of the president’s handling of the war in Gaza. That number far exceeded the goal of 10,000 uncommitted ballots that activists had set for themselves and could spell trouble for Biden in the general election. Michigan is a key swing state, where Biden defeated Donald Trump in 2020.
