| I loved this tour. I used to live in NYC, but I lived on the Upper West Side so the Village was pretty unfamiliar to me. Our tour guide was great; enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We got plenty to eat by the end (I actually almost couldn't finish that last cannoli!) and all of the food was tasty. If I had to choose a least favorite, it would be the chocolates from the herb/spice store - they were good, but I have had similar before. Everything else, from pizza (2 kinds!), fried baby artichokes, cookies and cheese, was fabulous and unique! Do this tour if you get a chance! |

| I can't think of a better way to spend a Sunday afternoon than wandering around the lovely and quirky Greenwich Village, and every time you stop someone feeds you. Our guide was lovely, very laid back, knowledgable, funny. The food on offer for tasting was a good mix of different treats, all excellent. We all enjoyed the tour immensely, and I would definately recommend it to friends. |

| This is my second tour with Foods of New York. My first time was the Chelsea Market tour a frew years ago. Based on that tour I couldn't wait to try something else on this trip. Greenwich Village was delightful. Loved the area, Heather was really good at her job and we came back later in our stay to try out some of the places she had shown us.
Thanks, |

| This was an awesome experience! We had superb weather which certainly helped. It definitely wouldn't be as much fun in rain or wind! Our guide was very friendly and enthusiastic and extremely knowledgeable. The Greenwich Village area is amazingly historic so there were plenty of very cool things to see and hear about. The food was all delicious and easily satisfied our need to eat - two pieces of pizza, several appetizers and several desserts. The pace was good with ample time to enjoy the food and setting and there was a nice break about halfway through where we could sit down to eat, use the bathroom, etc. I have been to NYC several times, but had never been to the Village. This was a great way to get acquainted with a new area of the city and discover fun places to go back to for a full meal. Highly recommended! |

| My group thoroughly enjoyed this tour. I would take this tour again. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We saw and learned things the average tourist would not have experienced unless they went on the tour. The food we sampled was excellent. I believe we received a great value for the money we spent. |

| My friend and I had a great time on this tour. I was unfamiliar with the Greenwich Village area and after the tour, I was ready to pack up and move to NYC to live in Greenwich Village. ;) The sampling was vast and well paced. I thoroughly enjoyed our tour guide and wasn't expecting all the insider information we got both about the food and the part of town in general. I would certainly do it again when I come back to visit and think it is a great tour for visitors and city dwellers alike. Thanks for contributing to such a great trip! |

| We were planning to have to leave the tour partway through, expecting that the five year old along with us would get bored after an hour or so, but it was the perfect combination of moving around, eating treats (which were very well liked by a pretty food-fussy litttle girl; pizza, cheese, cookies, canolli, were especially well liked), and hearing stories. The guide was stellar at supporting the grownups and the little one alike.
As a new resident of New York it was a great way to get acquainted with the village. Bravo! |

| We enjoyed the tour, our guide Sephra. was very entertaining. Great bang for the buck! Would have preferred less fried food (3 tastings) and more opportunity to sit down during the 3 1/2 hour tour. |

fun to do

| We enjoyed the tastings and the fact that we wouldn't have thought to try these eateries had we not gone on the tour. We felt that the tour could have been shortened by 1/2 an hour - there was a bit of standing around quiet time and sometimes we just seemed to be going really slow. Our tour guide was very nice, had only been on the job for a year - when she gets more seasoned I think she'll be able to fill the quiet time with more village history, food details etc. |
