Central Village/SoHo Food & Culture Tour

My 15-year old daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed Susan's tour of Central Greenwich Vilage and a small "slice" of Soho Tour. We had taken a food tour of the Lower East Side last summer and had to share very small portions with other members of the group. We were very pleasantly surprised to have very generous size portions of our sample foods on this tour. And, since it was a very warm day, it was nice to sit down in a few of the air conditioned restaurants. I especially liked the cultural and architectural aspects of the tour - Bob Dylan's residences and haunts, Club Wha?, Washington Square Park, etc. I think it would have been interesting to mention some of the Village's famous past and current residents and to include even more mentions of movie locations shot in the Village. The food choices were all very good - a little heavy on the Italian selections - but my daughter loves Italian, so that worked out. We stopped at Peanut Butter and Co. after the tour and thought it would have been a "fun" spot to include. My only complaint would be that at a few of the resturants we felt a bit pressured to return - business cards were passed out -- the stops felt more like advertisements for the establishments rather than simply a food tour stop. We did like the neighborhood guide handout - handy to have for our next visit to the Village and we will be back! Foods of New York Tours - how about a East Village or Lower East Side Food Tasting and Cultural Walking Tour?

This was a wonderful way to spend an afternoon in a beautiful neighborhood rich in culture and diversity. Our guide's knowledge of history and the the current residents was invaluable giving us an inside glimpse of the area. The food was amazing and the package was exceptional value . Cannot wait to do another area of the city with this group !

We felt more like we were getting a history lesson instead of a food tasting!!!!

I enjoyed the Soho Food Tour. I would have liked more tastings:) I especially enjoyed Rahem who was very knowledgeable and he enjoys his work.

The central village/soho food tour was just top notch. Our tour guide grew up in the area so she really knew the history and details of the streets. I revisited old haunts of my past. The food was superb. I have a whole new group of restaurants and food stores to try out. It was a thoroughly enjoyable way to spend an afternoon.

If you enjoy food and want to learn about the city, this is an absolutely fabulous way to spend three hours in NYC. I have lived here forever but am always looking for new things to do with out-of-town guests. They told me this was the best ever, and I agree. I have already told many of my local friends about this tour and I plan to take another one.Thanks so much for a wonderful experience. PS I now have about eight locations in the Village that I will visit again and share with friends.

This was a great tour to learn about the area both from a historical perspective and for future restaurant reservations! We tasted a substantial amount of food, lunch is definitely not necessary beforehand. I loved learning more about the neighborhood, but I think the best part is that you leave with a list of restaurants that you can try at a later time.

This is our second Greenwich area walking tour. This one was even better than the first. Diana was an excellent guide. I'm sure we will look at other tours in the future.

We have been on 3 of the Foods of NY tours. They have all been fabulous. The guides are very knowledgeable and entertaining. The food quality has always been first class.

The tour was wonderful, as was the tour leader. Learned a great deal of interesting and fun facts about the area. All the food was delicious and a very adequate amount was given. Would highly recommend this tour!!!
