      The true taste of New York

      The food culture in NYC may be one of the most diverse in the world, but there’s a long list of iconic flavors loved by locals. These foods are slices of the city’s heritage that should be tasted on all New York food tours. One thing’s for sure: if it’s New York-style anything, you’ll find it in Greenwich Village. From NY-style pizza to cheesecake to pretzels, the authentic flavors of the Big Apple are never far.

      In an enclave that feels so authentically “New York”, the diversity of Greenwich Village’s food is astounding. International cuisine is part of the neighborhood’s fabric, from the Italian-influenced East Village overflowing with pizza, cannoli, and Sicilian arancini to Jewish bakeries in the West Village, churning out pastries and chocolate-streaked babka. That’s why so many things to do in Greenwich Village revolve around food – brand-new restaurants regularly open beside century-old mom-and-pop joints, and there’s no type of cuisine you can’t find on food tours in Greenwich Village.

      Exploring the food scene of Greenwich Village with a New Yorker
      A history built on food and music

      Greenwich Village is steeped in history – much of it musical. A hangout for the beatniks, musicians and starving artists of the 60s, it’s the neighborhood once frequented by icons like Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, and Bruce Springsteen. The city’s artistic past echoes through its historic jazz bars and live music taverns – must-have experiences on the list of things to do in Greenwich Village. After a night of live music, why not visit some of the old eateries adored by the musicians of the neighborhood’s bohemian heyday? Today, they’re still some of the best restaurants in NYC.

        Maurita was fantastic! She guided our family of 4 - 2 adults and 2 kids under the age of 12, through local eateries with a touch of history. The history and culture part were interesting enough for the adults and not too boring for the kids. Which is a definite win. The kids thought they were just eating their way through the city, but little did they know they were learning some historical tidbits, Thats a definite win in my book. Highly recommend Maurita. She was a fantastic guide :)

        Dean was a WONDERFUL guide for our family of 3 visiting the City. Was very attentive from the beginning of our day together to get a sense of our interests, outlining a possible itinerary based on our needs and was outstanding in giving a fabulous blend of history, personal experiences and even obscure information about famous sites. He was a perfect blend of easy going nature, offering interesting information and had a wide range of knowledge. Would HIGHLY recommend!
