Central Village/SoHo Food & Culture Tour

activity photo

Sample tasty treats from ethnic, old-school eateries in two distinct areas - one colorful and exciting, the other surprisingly quaint.

NYC Central Village Tour

The guide was outgoing, knowlwdgable and freindly, although somehat opinionated about local politics and community issues. Although a very good tour for me, my spouse did not like some of the food tasted such as the smoked mzzarella cheese. Overall avery good experience and an excellent manner to learn more about the city noeighborhoods. We would do this again!

original is best

We were return clients, having taken the original Greenich Village tour, which we loved. On the Central/Soho tour, we found that the samples were smaller and less inspired, and oddly were introduced to several vendors whose food was described in glowing terms but then we never got samples of their fare. Nothing less interesting than descriptions of good food!

Fantastic tour, lots of history and great food

Our tour guide was Rahim; he was just great, very knowledgeable about not only the history of Soho and Greenwich, but the local food. He was very enthusiastic and provided a lot of interesting detail about the sites that we visited, as well as anecdotal stories from his personal life. Rahim's love of food is apparent, and he brought us around to wonderful places that we would never have discovered on our own. His knowledge of how the different cultural foods are prepared was great, and we really enjoyed getting a glimpse of how some of the older food establishments have managed to remain viable over the years. The gnocchi in tomato sauce at Monty's was incredible... best I've ever tasted! Thanks Rahim!!

Get to know the village

Our group all really enjoyed this tour. Recommended as a great way to get to know an area, make new friends and taste some local delicacies. Our tour guide was enthusiastic, entertaining and knew his subject. Indeed, we all loved Greenwich so much by the end of the tour it will be our No.1 place to stay when we next visit NYC.

My friend and I really enjoyed the tour - we will be back with husbands next time - and a cooler so that we can shop at all the great places on the tour! The foods were outrageous: the yogurt was out of this world, the halvah (my favorite when I was younger) was unbelievable, the gnocchi was absolutely wonderful, the peanut butter sandwich with chicken and pineapple was fantastic, the smoked mozzarella, the black pepper sausage, the potato tart, the indian bread, etc., etc., etc!!! There was not one food that we didn't enjoy! We could not have asked for a better guide either - Raheem really knows his stuff. Very personable - I hope to have him as our guide again next time.

The tour guide was great and the food was even better. It's worth while to go on these tours because you get to know more of the area than just going through it yourself. It's a three hours well spent. I think it's even better than the more touristy places like times square. There were a lot of family owned restaurants that serve a lot of good quality food. I would recommend this to anyone who loves to eat and who loves to explore new places.
