NYC's Most Diverse Food & Historic Area

Join us on a delicious “multiethnic” food tasting and cultural/historical journey through the Heart & Soul of Greenwich Village (The Central Village – the area surrounding Washington Square Park and New York University). This section of Greenwich Village is completely different from the area we visit on our Original Greenwich Village Food Tour. Find out why this area of the Village is so popular for its diverse food scene, rich history, culture, counter culture, distinct architecture, and vibrant Greenwich Village nightlife.

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!

Set out on a captivating walking and tasting tour through the heart of Greenwich Village, specifically the Central Village near Washington Square Park and NYU. Different from our Original Greenwich Village Food Tour, this exploration highlights renowned restaurants, diverse culinary landscapes, and vibrant nightlife. Uncover the rich history, cultural influences, counterculture, and unique architecture defining the West Village. Discover secrets of the neighborhood with stories of protests, the infamous hanging tree, and the bohemian lifestyle embraced by legends like Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix. Immerse yourself in the music and comedy scene that defines this NYC section—a comprehensive journey through The Village’s restaurants, history, and cultural tapestry!
