Welcome to The Village!

The tour begins in one of New York's oldest parks which is often called the gateway to Greenwich Village. People have escaped to the greenery of Jackson Square for 200 years and it still buzzes with local life today. After a quick introduction with the rest of your small group and your friendly foodie guide, you'll begin your culinary exploration of one of the city's most influential, unique, and exciting neighborhoods.

You'll stroll through the streets, alleyways, and past the iconic brownstones that line the main avenues. Learn about the history of The Village from distant colonial times to the beat poetry and avant-garde artistry that helped the area become New York's bohemian epicenter.

New York Classics

Hopefully you didn't have a big breakfast, because you'll need some room for the indulgent snacks and street food coming your way! With influences from all over the world, the range of flavors available around here is endless. Early on, you'll get a little taste of England as you try some deliciously authentic pasties, then it's time for a true New York classic...

Is it a cheese slice or a plain slice? In the metropolitan area, it's an important discussion. Whatever you call it, today you'll try one of the city's best pizza slices. This is where NYU students and partygoers of all ages line up for a midnight treat, and after one bite you'll realize why this Greenwich Village institution keeps people coming back again and again.

In the early 20th century, Italian immigrants did much to develop the cuisine of New York. Next, take a peek back through time at a 100-year-old butcher shop and deli. With high quality meats, freshly made cheeses, and top local ingredients, it's no wonder this place makes one of the best sandwiches you're ever likely to taste. Along with this sandwich perfection, you'll also try a classic Italian street food perfect for a city on the go.

Lip-Smacking Desserts to Wrap Up the Day

Once you've had your savory fix at Greenwich's delis and pizza joints, you'll head to two very different bakeries to finish off the tour on a sweet note. First, you'll stop by at an historic Italian bakery for amazing cannoli that's been a local favorite for decades. Then, it's time for a little French sophistication at a beloved patisserie famous for it's innovative twists on the classics. It's the perfect way to end the tour before you set off to explore the city some more (although you might need to rest and digest a little first!).
