Our food tour kicks off at Bagel Bob's. Here, we'll try a traditional hand-rolled everything bagel, perfectly complemented by a generous serving of freshly whipped cream cheese.
We'll then visit the historic Washington Mews, one of the few remaining cobblestone streets in New York City, rich with fascinating history.
Explore the iconic Washington Square Park, and grab a picture of the Washington Square Monument and Fountain. We'll delve into the park's fascinating history, which began as a public graveyard before being developed into one of New York City's most popular destinations.
We'll walk down MacDougal Street and pop into Mamoun's Falafel where we'll try some of their mouthwatering handmade falafel. These hot, crispy, and flavor-packed Middle Eastern balls are guaranteed to be the best falafel you've ever had in your life.
We'll stroll past the iconic Comedy Cellar, a beloved New York comedy club that has been graced by the performances of legendary comedians like Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, and Jerry Seinfeld.
For all Taylor Swift enthusiasts or 'Swifties', our tour will include a visit to 23 Cornelia Street, the site where the famous popstar used to live back in 2016.
Our Greenwich Village food tour wouldn't be complete without stopping at Bleecker Street Pizza. They were voted as the #1 pizza in NYC for three years in a row and they offer a taste of the city's renowned pizza culture, allowing you to savor some of the most iconic slices in one of the most popular pizza spots in the Big Apple.

Our tour wouldn't be complete without a quick visit to Carrie Bradshaw's Apartment made famous in the TV series Sex & the City.
Our next stop is outside the very popular 'Friends Apartment'. This unique stop offers fans the chance to take a picture of the iconic apartment from the beloved TV show. So grab your lobster and take a happy snap!

We really enjoyed the tour. The food was all really tasty and Daria filled us in on some interesting facts about the area. Also got photos of some buildings used in tv shows like friends Sex and The City. If your a Taylor fan we visited where she first lived in New York
The tour with Emily was amazing. She is very knowledgeable, friendly and comes prepared. I would definitely recommend doing this tour!
A fantastic tour of Greenwich Village and its various food offerings as well as significant and interesting. The guide was very informative and friendly.
Thanks for taking the time to write this. The Greenwich Village food tour covers a lot of ground, between the food stops and the history on those blocks, so it's good to hear both parts stuck with you. We'd be glad to have you back for another one whenever you're in the city.
It was a great experience for someone like me, who it’s here first time here in NY, and I really how Kind was Alex and Zeth, I really like the tour, and I would definitely recommend with all my family and friends!!! :)
First trip to New York is a big one, and we're glad the Greenwich Village food tour made the cut. Alex and Seth will be happy to hear you enjoyed it so much. Send your family and friends our way anytime, and come back to eat with us again yourself next time you're in the city.
100% recomended really good food and very friendly people
Thanks for the 100% recommendation, that's about as good as it gets. Happy to hear the food delivered and the people made you feel at home on the Greenwich Village food tour. We'd love to have you back out with us anytime.
We loved this tour! Great food, good pace but not rushed at all, great stories/information told by Emily. Highly recommend. We are 4 friends from Michigan - ages 50-64.
Hey Bethany, thanks for bringing your Michigan crew out to eat with us. Pacing is something we think about a lot, so it's good to know the tour felt relaxed without dragging. We'll pass the kind words along to Emily, the stories are her favorite part to share. Hope the four of you make it back for another Greenwich Village food tour, or a different neighborhood, on your next trip.
Emily was a fantastic tour guide! So many fun facts and amazing food! She answered all the questions and we had perfectly and was extremely polite and fun! Thank you!
Thanks, Steven. Emily will be glad to hear the fun facts landed as well as the food did on the Greenwich Village food tour, and that she got every question answered. We'd be happy to have you back to eat through another neighborhood with us.
Took a Greenwich Village food tour with Emily- food choices were great and Emily was fantastic. Fun and informative! Highly recommend.
Glad the food picks landed for you on the Greenwich Village food tour. Emily has a knack for keeping things fun without skimping on the informative side, and we'll be sure she sees this. Thanks for the recommendation, and come eat with us again next time you're in the city.
Our tour guide, Mary, was fantastic. Despite the pouring rain she made the food tour very enjoyable & fun. Would highly recommend!
Hey Erin, thanks for sticking with us through all that rain. Meri really knows how to keep a group's spirits up whatever the sky is doing, and we're glad the Greenwich Village food tour stayed fun in spite of it. Come back on a drier day and we'll show you the neighborhood at its best.
Mary was incredible- we had extremely bad weather and heavy rain and we still didn’t want it to end. She was such a huge wealth of knowledge and everything about the tour was perfect.
Not wanting the tour to end in heavy rain might be the best compliment we've heard in a while. Meri will be so pleased to know her Greenwich Village knowledge carried the day, she never runs out of stories about the neighborhood. Thanks for braving the weather with us, and we'd be glad to have you back when the skies cooperate.
