Foods of New York Tours

My husband and I did this tour last summer and we thought our kids (19, 17, 15 and 7) would enjoy it, too. Thankfully, they did- two said it was their favorite thing we did over the weekend and all agreed it was fun. There is a lot of walking but it is at a leisurely pace, stopping for delicious bites and bits of history of Greenwich Village. The tour guide (Curt) was very personable and even though my husband and I had taken the tour last summer, Curt's tour was quite different. These are not cookie-cutter tours, and they're not advertisements for the businesses we visited. The guides know the people in the neighorhood and you really get a feeling for what it's like to live there. I feel it is absolutely worth the money to have a personalized tour so you know what you're looking at. Curt was most accommodating to all the people on the tour, and was very sweet to my little girl- speaking to her by name and complimenting her for trying all the foods. After the tour and before we left New York Sunday night for home, we went back to Bruno's twice for dessert, Aphrodisia twice for gift purchases, ate dinner at Trattoria Pesce Pasta and had a drink at Chumley's. My main advice for anyone going on the tour is COME HUNGRY because you will have a lot of food on the tour. We had pizza; cannolis; rice balls; cheese and olives; chocolate chip cookies; apricot pastries; Turkish sandwiches and more.

My wife, daughter and myself had our heart set on going to New York and going to see "The Lion King". We did that....and it was great....but the "Greenwich Village Food Tasting and Cultural Tour" was the highlight of our weekend....by far! We would recommend it highly to anyone who has an interest in people, history and great food. We experienced a perfect mix of all three!

Extraordinary info, food and TOUR GUIDE!! Will recommend as a must do event when in NYC. Even the 2 teenagers in our group raved about it. Loads of interesting information and history. Will use the information learned on future visits. Mike C. was Mr. Eloquent. Even if he has said those words a million times, he presented the information to us as if we were the only ones to receive the tour. He is a gem and made the tour priceless!! Loved his interaction with the other Villagers. A lifetime memory!

great guide- great food!

enjoyed the tour very much. It was a very fun experience. We got a great overview of the village and tasted some good food. The only drawback on the food side was that it had too many sweets and not enough real food.

Our tour guide Todd was very informative, fun and knowledgeable. This tour is a must for any dining enthusiast.

My daughter and i really enjoyed the tour. The guide was very knowledgeable about the area and the foods. We ate at two recommended resturants, one with very good results, the other we could have skipped. The walk wasnt too fatiguing and the foods we tried were a great variety of the foods in that part of the city. We wanted to do another tour but ran out of time. I suggest people do the tour first and then see the city as there are many interesting things we could have planned on our stay in New York that were mentioned on the tour.

The food was great are leader was a blast had a wonderful time. It was so worth it.

This fun, walking tour is filled with history, lots of good food, and includes a great, interesting tour guide. The guide makes the tour.

What a great tour. We saw out of the way places and learned a lot about the history of the area. My daughter (17 yrs) said Joe's had the best pizza she ever tasted. Cindy, our guide, was fabulous. Would highly recommend this tour.

Great tour. Found an excellent French restaurant, Le Gigot, and oyster bar, Fish, and learned more about the village than any book or general tour.

We thoroughly enjoyed the food tour and cultural tour of Greenwich Village. Our tour guide was very knowledgable of the area. The people we met were very great and clearly enjoyed talking to us. The food was great.

We brought a niece and nephew, each 15, and we are young grandparents. We all enjoyed our guide, Michael, and the tour and food. Not much walking, but lots of good information, history and taste treats. We do recommend it.

This was a wonderful experience! Living in Brooklyn, New York it was great to see first hand the history of Manhattan and The Village. The food was excellent and I feel more equipped to come back to this neighborhood to shop and eat.

Easy enough for seniors, tasty enough for teens. Wonderful guide. A great introduction to Greenwich Village.
