This section of Greenwich Village is completely different from the area we visit on our Original Greenwich Village Food Tour.

Itinerary: This tour includes 5 tastings on-the-go and 2 seated tasting. We will walk around Washington Square Park and the Central Village in between tastings. Tastings vary based on day of the week and tours times.
Highlights: We will also visit Washington Square Park, the town square of Greenwich Village, and learn about its radical protesters, infamous hanging tree, the Washington Square Arch, and how the "live and let live" beatniks, writers and poets of the 50s and 60s made Greenwich Village their home. Walk the same streets that Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, and Amy Schumer did while learning about the music and comedy scene, and why this section of NYC can only be described as The Village!
We will savor the flavors at Cuba Restaurant with crispy empanadas, relish the famous pizza at Artichoke Basille’s Pizzeria. At Monte’s Trattoria, enjoy homemade pasta and tiramisu, a true taste of old New York. We'll explore the world of coffee at Porto Rico Importing Co and the world of Tea and spice at Sullivan Street Tea, which has one of the most diverse selections in the whole country! We'll come to a close at Li-Lac Chocolates for minty chocolates, rounding out a journey through multiple eateries over a century old.
