A FOOD TASTING JOURNEY THROUGH THE CENTRAL SECTION OF GREENWICH VILLAGE.

FOOD CENTRIC – RICH HISTORY – COUNTER CULTURE
For foodies on a mission to explore NYC’s diverse cuisines, the 4 block radius around Washington Square Park is the perfect place to start. You’ll find over 100 unique food establishments, some dating back over a century. Learn about the Village’s cafe culture, comedy clubs, live music venues, and off-Broadway theaters, making this neighborhood a must-visit destination!
Greenwich Village is also a vibrant hub for counterculture, individuality, creativity, and the birthplace of the beat movement. It nurtured poets like Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac. Feel the echos of folk music in Washington Square Park where Bob Dylan and Joan Baez performed, and Cafe Wha? where Jimi Hendrix rocked the house!
But above all, taste your way through a cornucopia of food that will leave you wanting more!
