| After having gone on the Chelsea Market/Meatpacking Tour and raved about it for months, the Greenwich Village Tour was a bit disappointing. While the guide was very interesting and full of neighborhood anecdotes, the food was not on the same level as the previous tour. The line-up of food was a bizarre combination -- we had pizza, followed by several combinations of bread/dough/starch with something on it or in it, followed by pizza again. Nothing stuck out as being really stellar and delicious. Having lived in the Village for two years myself, I know there are a multitude of culinary gems to be had -- it's a shame that the tour didn't partake in any of them. | ||||||

| My tour guide clearly loved his job, his neighborhood and the places we visited He was very knowledgeble on the history of both the neighborhood and of the places we visited, providing the background on each of the restaurants/food locations and providing tasty tidbits of" insider" information. The tastings were diverse and delicious and well spread out through the tour to prevent us from going hungry. If you enjoy food and are interested in the cultural and historical context this tour is for you! | ||||||

| This tour gave me the opportunity to learn the history of Greenwich village as well as taste some really fantastic food. We purchased some olive oil and balsamic vinegar after the tour and my husband's already been back for pizza. | ||||||

| I recently took the Greenwich Village Food Tasting and Cultural Tour and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it! It was a very hot and humid day in the city and our tour guide, Barri, was excellent. She kept us moving and motivated, with lots of stops on the shady sides of the various streets and a few stops in air conditioned restaurants. The food was delicious and more than enough for lunch - I was stuffed by the end of the tour. The pizza was great, yummy cookie from Milk and Cookies and my favourite, the rice ball. Olive and Co. olive oils and balsamic vinegars were scrumptious. Barri was very knowledgeable about the neighbourhood and provided lots of interesting facts and tidbits as we did our tour. It's certainly a great opportunity to see a side of the neighbourhood the average tourist wouldn't see. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city. I can't wait for my next trip so I can do another tour! Thanks! | ||||||

| We had a tour guide named Barri, she was very informative, and seemed to love what she was doing. We learned many things about Greenwich Village and the food we tasted was excellent. I would recommend this to anyone , especially New Yorkers. It is amazing what we do not know about this haven in New York City. | ||||||

| We have been on the other food tours and loved them. This was the only one we had not been on. Our tour guide - Susan - was very knowledgeable (I guess because she grew up in this area) and she was very nice (which we love about the people in NY). We really enjoyed the stops especially the Peanut Butter Company where I bought a cookbook and a jar of peanut butter and just tonight recreated one of their creations for dinner. Who ever came up with the idea for NY City food tours is a genius and we want to thank him! | ||||||

| whether your a local or visiting NYC for the first time, this tour is well worth taking. It takes you to great places that serve wonderful food. It offers a lot of interesting information about the area, which shows you how much it really has to offer. | ||||||

The Chelsea/Meat Mkt Tour
|

| Fri, Jun 27 12:03 PM | JulieTex | Female | 30-39 | Domestic Tourist(s) | Individual | |
| Fun tour...the only thing that might enhance it is if the guide could provide more substance, i.e. factoids on history, architecture, local culture, etc.) to fill the "quiet" time while we are eating. There were periods on the tour where the group was just sitting around eating without the input/commentary of the guide. | ||||||
|
|
A good and thorough introduction to the Village.

| Next time in New York we will spend a considerable amount of time exploring the Village on our own. I'm sure we will use the recommendations of restaraunts and food specialty shops. Our guide, Mike, was well prepared, engaging, and timely. | ||||||

| I think that the balance of tastings is the one area that could use improvement. I agree with previous posters that this tour is heavy on the cheese/bread/pizza, and it would also be nice to get a beverage somewhere along the way - one water bottle wasn't nearly enough on a hot day. Loved the olive oil, chocolate chip cookies, and arrancino. The Thai dumplings were only OK. However Mike was informative and entertaining, carefully treading the fine line between energetic/enthusiastic and cheesy. I learned a lot, and enjoyed seeing a neighborhood in such depth. | ||||||

| My husband & I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Our guide was great & we loved all the eateries that we went to. We thought the whole tour was very well presented & we were made very welcome at all the places we attended. Learning about the history of Greenwich village was fabulous too. Would thoroughly reccommend the tour. | ||||||
