Your Itinerary

Molly's Cupcakes

Meeting point and ending point. We finish up at this award-winning cupcake place. It’s too-cool-for-school with desks, retro lunch boxes and even swings. Oh and cupcakes to die for.

Mamoun's Falafel

The best falafel you’ll ever have in Manhattan or perhaps anywhere. It’s no surprise they’ve been around since 1971 - the longest Middle Eastern spot in all of New York.

Artichoke Basille's Pizza

This West Village institution is renowned for their namesake pizza and while they have other delicious pizzas, we go with their double-crusted, creamy work of art: the artichoke slice. And no you don’t have to like artichokes to love this slice!

Pommes Frites

Pommes Frites has the best fries in the city or probably anywhere. Authentic Belgian fries that are double cooked and topped with extraordinary sauces - choose from over 30!

Bleecker Street Pizza

We make a minimum of seven food stops. The tour lasts about three hours.

Little Owl

(Pass by)

No, there isn’t really a Central Perk and yes, they filmed Friends in Los Angeles ...but for you 'Friends' fans, you can check out the outside of their apartment. They shot the facade footage here. Clap clap clap clap.

Washington Square Park

Washington Square Park is legendary. You’ve seen it in a ton of films, it’s the unofficial campus of NYU students and you’ll see some of the coolest people in the city here. Feed pigeons. Hear musicians and watch street performers. You never know what to expect. Oh except for the mighty arch which is, of course, renowned.

The Stonewall Inn

(Pass by)

The Stonewall Inn is such a huge historical site - literally and figuratively. We pass by the prideful institution as well as its new statue which was installed to commemorate it’s 50th anniversary.

Faicco’s Italian Specialties

Faicco's has so many items that will make your mouth water. We sample their arancini (rice ball) and sopressata (salami) and I promise you, these bite sized delights pack a culinary punch that last long after the tour.

We had an absolute blast. The walk was easy, the food was excellent, and our guide was amazing. Not only did he know about every place we went and all the places in between, but he told stories along the way of how things evolved to the way they were now. Really one of the best tours we've ever been on.

Fabulous tour with a very knowledgeable, charming and informative guide. Absolutely loved the variety of food ( we were stuffed! ) And the walking historical tour of the Village . Would highly recommend this tour !!!!!

Anthony_S

We had Ian as our tour guide and he was a great guide. Met up at Molly's and enjoyed every stop there after. The history and stories in between the food tasting was great and got some good knowledge along the way. Great tour!

Mike_S

Great fun and a way to tour the Village and try good food! Lots of fun for us as a couple. Host was knowledgeable, funny and friendly. Food was varied and unique. Tour showed classic highlights of Greenwich Village but also areas off the beaten path.

Absolutely excellent food and walking tour of Greenwich Village. Our tour guide Ian was spectacular. He knew so much about the area - both modern and historical references - and was really fun and entertaining. The food was awesome, and I feel like we definitely got a bang for our buck. Highly recommend!

Linda_D

I did this tour with my sister. Our tour guide, Ian was awesome. You can tell that he loves his job and the City. The food stops were excellent and the history of the area was amazing. Well worth the cost of the ticket.

Eddiedev

Ian is excellent, knowledgeable, and fun. Food choices could have been a bit more diverse. 2 different pizza stops when could have had an alternate option. Rice ball and Charcuterie Italian food stop was barely a taste, not even a mouthful. Could have been more creative and not just a bite size. Have been on other food tours in NYC and elsewhere and this was ok.

Our guide Adam was so inspired. He was considerate , well informed, patient, Funny , and extremely good with people. I would strongly recommend this tour based off of our experience with him dealing with our diverse group with ease and confidence. The food also off the charts . What a fun and yummy way to learn about Greenwich Village. Let there be no Big misunderstandings we would definitely repeat this experience if Adam were our guide again.

alizay2019

6 of us on a bachelorette had the best time. Ian, our tour guide, was super nice and the tour was super informative. I'm from New York City, and while not every stop was new, it was fun to hear the history of the places and see New York through food. And there was a lot of interesting history along the way that added to the tour too. Every stop was vegetarian, which was great, since most of us didn't eat meat!
