It was great that Mei was able to find delicious bars and restaurants that suited my tastes on the run. We didn’t do the usual places, but a really nice little bar for nibbles and drinks, a Vietnamese cafe and Spanish restaurant. I like tasty little flavour bombs rather than pizza, and this really delivered. Great bites but most memorable was the pan cont tomate at the Spanish restaurant. I also enjoyed the stroll through Greenwich and West Villages with Mei’s commentary.

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 :)

What you’ll do

If you’ve ever wondered what New York tastes like, you’ll find out on this experience with a local insider leading the way through Greenwich Village. You’ll sample the dishes close to every New Yorker’s heart, from warm-from-the-oven choc’ chip cookies to creamy New York cheesecake to Sicilian-style arancini - decadent bites of fried rice stuffed with dreamy combos like Bolognese sauce and melted cheese.

Snack in a classic ‘mom and pop’ shop as you hear about the Italian immigrants who brought their incredible food culture with them, indulge in a freshly filled cannoli, and float away into New York food heaven as you bite into classics like bagels with lox or a door-stopper sized pastrami sandwich.
