Central Greenwich Village / SoHo
Food and Culture Walking Tour

(est. 2006)

A food tasting ramble through two historic neighborhoods

This tour begins where our "Original" Greenwich Village tour leaves off. Come with us as we trip back in time through the "Central" Greenwich Village and a discreet area of SoHo.

As we wander through the Central Village you will discover an area once enjoyed by bohemians, beatniks, artists, and folk singers. Relish in the rich history and culture of this old immigrant neighborhood as we stroll through Washington Square Park, view late 18th century architecture, find the best venues for live music and comedy, and taste delicious food specialties from unique ethnic eateries.

Upon entering SoHo you will experience the quiet calm of the old Italian section. As we venture along these charming streets you will understand how an old neighborhood has survived in spite of rising rents and gentrification. During our walk through SoHo you will be introduced to "mom and pop" eateries and old-fashioned specialty food shops - you will enjoy delicious tastings from several of them.
