Greenwich Village Food Tasting and Cultural Tour
  Tue, Jun 3  11:00 AM Christys Male 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
  A guided tour is only as good as its guide- ours (Curt) was fabulous - performer, historian, connoisseur, and humorist, all rolled into one. He remembered all of our names as well as where we were from! Having just arrived in New York only hours before the tour, it was great to become familiar with the neighborhood and find restaurants where we would dine for the next two evenings. Also fun to have our guide take us to places we would never have found ourselves. The food was wonderful - varied & plentiful. If you only have 3 hours in New York - spend it on this tour. We would do it again in a New York minute!
Rating: 5 Terrific and informative tour!
Greenwich Village Food Tasting and Cultural Tour
  Mon, Jun 2  12:30 PM laurenstoll Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
  This tour was terrific - informative about the village, from someone who should know - a long time resident and true lover of Greenwich village. His enthusiasm was infectious! He gave us insider information, which made the tour more meaningful. The foods were delicious and just right. Very accomodating for restroom needs. We cannot wait to go back to the Village to experience the restaurants and merchants more, in the future. We had a nice, small group (maybe 15 or so) which was great.

  Three generations of family women took this tour together. It was the high light of our trip to NYC! Our tour guide Ed was fantastic. The food and shops we visited were wonderful. We learned so much about Greenwich Village. We will be back to visit NYC and we will also be back to take another food tour.

Greenwich Village Food Tasting and Cultural Tour

  Our Greenwich Village Tour was conducted by Michael, a Village resident for many years. This was not a typical tour with a tour guide rattling off facts, figures and statistics. It was like walking around the city with a friend pointing out places he goes to, dines at, and hangs out in. His knowledge of the history of the Village and the impact its residents had on society was impressive. The food was great and we’ll be back soon. I strongly recommend this tour.
Rating: 3 Food was great but tour guide awful
Greenwich Village Food Tasting and Cultural Tour

  Food was great as was information about the history of Greenwich Village. Didn't care for tour guide (Mike). He came off as condescending and though you expected lame jokes, his were particularly lame. At one point, he had the group in a restaurant both indoors and out, and forgot about the group that was still inside. We had to catch up on our own.
Rating: 5 Just the perfect mix!

  My compliments. Another proof that it comes all down to the tour guide. In our case Bob was just the perfect tour guide providing the perfect mix, of history facts, funny stories and good tastings - all with the right attention to detail. Thanks, Bob!

  I went on the first tour last summer with my nieces, I loved it so much and talked about it so much I purchased tickets for my husband and me. Again, loved the food and the information about old New York. The tour guide was great and knowledgable, but the first tour guide was a "true" New Yorker and enjoyed her jokes and stories more. I think a tour guide from New York is more what tourist are looking for. My husband enjoyed the tour and couldn't compare it with another and he had fun! I would go again when company comes in from out of town but will request a "New Yorker". Worth the money, for sure. Mariann, from PA

The Sushi and Japanese Tapas Food Tasting Event
  Sat, May 31  5:00 PM scotpond Female 60-69 Local Couple on a Date
  We did the sushi tour with Raheem on Sat May 31st and absolutely loved it! Great presentation by Raheem explaining the history of sushi, methods of prep, ingredients and what makes good sushi. Ate foods I never would have dared try without a guide, many that sounded awful but tasted great. Pacing of talk and eating was just right and made for a full evening of entertainment while leaving time for a grocery shopping trip at Trader Joe's a few blocks away. Experienced high end stuff like REAL wasabi and top shelf Saki. Learned that I DO like saki when it's the good stuff :+}

Greenwich Village Food Tasting and Cultural Tour
  Sat, May 31  1:00 PM MaryEllenUC Female 40-49 Local Group of Friends
  Three female friends toured with our three college-aged daughters and had a fantastic afternoon, despite the downpour! Our tour guide, Michael (Karp?) was extremely interesting and knowledgeable about the Village we couldn't have asked for anyone better! Having grown up in NYC, I learned quite a bit myself. The food was great, and the local shopowners and staff were extremely welcoming. Well worth the money. Three hours went way too fast and all of us agreed we would come again and bring the spouses/boyfriends!

Greenwich Village Food Tasting and Cultural Tour
  Sat, May 31  1:00 PM mjhofmann Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
  The food and the concept were both good, but I expected a little different type of information and site visitation from the tour guide. There was much more limited information about the prior century's history of residents, notables, residences, events, etc. and more specific information on more recent history and events - say the last 1/2 century and particularly the immediate concerns of Greenwich village residents because of real estate prices and established businesses being forced to close. Although Washington Square was mentioned in passing we didn't go there or learn specifically what events took place there. The tour guide was entertaining and knowledgeable, but my expectations were a little different. I only learned from my Frommer guide that Louisa May Alcott was a resident of 130 Bleecker Street where she may have written Little Women, for example. I enjoyed the visit to the "back house" behind Palma rest. My other suggestion would be to include some non-carb/less fatty food items ( fruits & veggies) even if just as accompaniments to the other dishes. I appreciated the free rain ponchos and water and wasn't expecting to get either one of them, so thank you. Also, I felt the same tour was doable in less than 3 hours.
