Food Centric - Rich History - Counter Culture
For foodies on a mission to explore NYC’s diverse cuisines, the 4 block radius around Washington Square Park is the perfect place to start. You’ll find over 100 unique food establishments, some dating back over a century. Learn about the Village’s cafe culture, comedy clubs, live music venues, and off-Broadway theaters, making this neighborhood a must-visit destination!
Greenwich Village is also a vibrant hub for counterculture, individuality, creativity, and the birthplace of the beat movement. It nurtured poets like Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac. Feel the echos of folk music in Washington Square Park where Bob Dylan and Joan Baez performed, and Cafe Wha? where Jimi Hendrix rocked the house!
But above all, taste your way through a cornucopia of food that will leave you wanting more!

The tour was the highlight of the trip! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the food and the history. He was so entertaining, and the food was FABULOUS! I was full halfway through, but couldn't stop eating, especially when we got to the cannoli!

I was hesitant to go on a food tour. I wasn't sure if it would be worth the time or money. I was WRONG. One of the best things I've done in NYC! Our guide was amazing and had so much knowledge! I will do another! WORTH EVERY PENNY.

I am not the tour type. I live in NYC and got this as a gift but was skeptical. I couldn't have been more wrong. What a great time! Not only does the guide entertain, she feeds you! We were treated like VIP’s everywhere. BEST GIFT EVER.
