Food Tasting and Cultural Walking Tour

Duration

3 Food Filled Hours!

NYC'S MOST DIVERSE FOOD & HISTORIC AREA

Join us on a delicious "multi-ethnic" food tasting and cultural/historical journey through the Heart & Soul of Greenwich Village (The Central Village - the area surrounding Washington Square Park and New York University). This section of Greenwich Village is completely different from the area we visit on our Original Greenwich Village Food Tour. Find out why this area of the Village is so popular for its diverse food scene, rich history, culture, counter culture, distinct architecture, and vibrant Greenwich Village nightlife.

We will also visit Washington Square Park (the town square of Greenwich Village) and learn about its radical protesters, infamous hanging tree, the Washington Square Arch, and how the "live and let live" beatniks, writers and poets of the 50s and 60s made Greenwich Village their home. Walk the same streets that Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, and Amy Schumer did while learning about the music and comedy scene, and why this section of NYC can only be described as The Village!

This tour includes 5 tastings on-the-go and 2 seated tasting. Tastings vary based on day of the week and tours times.

This tour DOES NOT overlap with our Original Greenwich Village Food Tour.

Before you go

TICKET INFORMATION:

You may present your tickets on any smartphone or print them. If you are unable to access your tickets ahead of your experience, please plan to provide a piece of identification when you arrive.

HELPFUL INFORMATION:

  • **Weather Advisory:** Tips and Tricks can be found here.
  • During the tour you will be walking, standing, and seated in restaurants. Please make sure to wear comfortable clothing and footwear, both can be very casual.
  • Umbrellas on rainy days, warm layers on cold days, and cool clothing on hot days will make your experience much more enjoyable.
  • In-person purchases or any last minute additions cannot be accommodated. All tickets must be purchased in advance.

FOOD & DRINK:

  • There are enough food tastings served that, for most people, a meal afterwards is not needed.
  • In an effort to reduce our environmental impact, we NO LONGER provide plastic water bottles on your tour. We recommend bringing your own reusable water bottle. Sit down tasting spots during the tour will be serving water as well!

PICTURES, FILMING & PETS:

  • Feel free to bring cameras and video cameras. Please ask the tour guide before video taping. We do not encourage video taping the entire tour.
  • We love pets too... but because the tour visits a number of food establishments, you'll need to leave your pets at home.
