Our guide was so great, we didn't mind the rain!
Fri, May 9  11:30 AM powertrek Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Our whirlwind trip to New York for a family bar mitzvah allowed us one day for ourselves. Starting that day with a Foods of New York tour was a great idea; our guide was friendly and definitely "knew her stuff"! The stops were fun, and the tastings were delicious. Even my husband--New York City born and bred--was impressed. We've been telling family and friends how much we enjoyed it, and will definitely take another tour.

Still, best 3 hours one can spend in the Village
Fri, May 9  11:30 AM patleahy22 Female 50-59 Combination Family Without Children
This was my third tour and it gets better every time. This time, we got to see some of the backrooms of the restaurants & clubs and that was very interesting. The tastings were memorable, the proprietors gracious, and the tour guide, Marie, was fantastic. Keep up the good work! See you again soon.

Great way to get to know the details and stories behind the neighborhoods. Interesting history, knowledge of little known facts, found great hidden restaurants and were away from the tipical tourist traps. Food tastings were OK. Overall a great experince.

Excellent tour!
Fri, May 9  11:00 AM dogguy09 Male 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
This tour was just fantastic. The weather was just dreadful, rain and strong wind, and cold. But, that didn't deter our tour guide, Ed! He made efforts to keep us warm and dry whenever possible. The foods were fantastic, and you really will get a good full meal on this trip. Great mix of food culture, history, and information about the city. Ed's enthusiasm and pride for his city was evident and he made the tour. Knowledgeable, entertaining, and downright funny! As others have said, take this tour early in your vacation so you can come back. I returned to the risotteria for a lovely lunch the next day. Enjoy!

You've Gotta Do This Tour if You're a Foodie!
Fri, May 9  11:00 AM Jackie46 Female 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Tour guide Ed was engaging, had an unusual depth of knowledge, a wonderful sense of humor, was sensitive to the needs of vendors and customers along the way, and was wonderfully accommodating to our group, which endured 3 hours of torrential rain to explore Greenwich Village [not one person bailed]. After the tour, my gang returned to several shops to purchase sampled delicacies. I felt like a pack mule, but I couldn't resist. Ed got us started on time, took us to some really neat places, and gave us a tidbits of history. All around fun--we'll do it again!

Nice historic tour with lots of great food
Thu, May 8  12:30 PM apruss Male 40-49 International Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
More historical information provided than expected. Great variety of great food, with an interesting combination of styles. Lots of local background stories. Staff at Cafe del Mare (starting point) fairly uninterested in selling drinks before the tour. To whom it concerns : expect a lot of Carbohydrates !

wonderful way to spend a day
Thu, May 8  12:30 PM cindylederer Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Other
We had a wonderful time walking and eating around the Village and SoHo. It was great to learn the history of the area and to be told about current spots to try both to eat and listen (comedy and music clubs), We were told about many places we would otherwise have just walked by and were tipped off as to what to order at many places.

Great food choices! Not far to walk.
Thu, May 8  12:00 PM KMyers Female 40-49 International Tourist(s) Group of Friends
Fresh mozzarella (half an hour old!); Delicious Greek yogurt ; gnocchi by a gourmet chef -- all of these and more in a few hours of a pleasant walk around Greenwich. Lots of information delivered by our tour guide Rahine - he's quite into food and gave more information on the preparation of food than I personally required. He also gave great tips on jazz clubs in the area, local and personal history, details about each restaurant mentioned. I'm sorry we weren't able to make good use of that information as we didn't have any other time in Greenwich other than the tour itself. I'd highly recommend using the tour as a starting point for your Greenwich visit and then eating at the great restaurants, getting to the great clubs and enjoying Washington Square when it's not under construction!

Central Village /SoHo Food & Cultural Tour
Thu, May 8  12:00 PM Fanniejoe Male 70+ Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Our guide was a young man by the name of Raheem. Raheem, having attended nearby NYU, shared many of his experiences in the village from a personal perspective that genuinely enhanced his knowledge of the area. Not only was his knowledge of food and beverage exceptional, but his knowledge of the area's history and cultural nuances was also exceptional. His interest in his subject material was one of genuine interest which connected well with everyone on tour contributing to the group harmony. My wife and i were spending the week in NYC which had many diverse activities. At the conclusion of this afternoon, we felt the experience was well worth it and we highly recommend this tour, particularly with Raheem as the guide.

Great guide, great guests, great greenwich village
Wed, May 7  11:30 AM jimbattisti Male 70+ Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
Great guide and diversified tour group - lots of art, architecture, village history, and oh yes - great food! Recommend that future groups be told that they could easily have no breakfast or just juice and coffee - plenty to eat on this tour! Very good value for NYC tourists - lots of discount coupons if you would be in the area more than one day.
