# Greenwich Village Food Tour: 6 Tastings + Iconic Sites

In our comparison: #2 of 73 in Food & Pizza Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

Six tastings, twelve guests, three hours, and one guide who actually lives here. You'll eat your way down Bleecker and MacDougal through the falafel counter, the pizza window, and the fry shop that locals line up for, and finish it off with delicious cupcakes. 

You will explore the most iconic streets and hidden corners of Greenwich Village on this guided walking tour through one of New York City’s most historic neighborhoods. The route includes stops at Father Demo’s Square, Manetta Lane, Manetta Tavern, Cafe Wha, McDougle Street, and NYU, before opening up into Washington Square Park and the famous Arch. You’ll also see the Hangman’s Elm, Washington Square Hotel, the Friends building, Grove Court, the narrowest house in New York, the oldest wooden house in the Village, Cherry Lane Theatre, and Cornelia Street, once home to Taylor Swift, all while uncovering the stories that give the Village its unmistakable character.

Beer and Wine available at select stops.

## Itinerary

1. **Meeting point and ending point** (5m) - We finish up at this award-winning cupcake place. It’s too-cool-for-school with desks, retro lunch boxes and even swings. Oh and cupcakes to die for.
2. **Bleecker has been the Village's food street since the families who opened the...** (pass by, no stop) - Bleecker has been the Village's food street since the families who opened these shops got here, and enough of them are still open to prove it.
3. **Faicco's has so many items that will make your mouth water** (10m) - We sample their arancini (rice ball) and sopressata (salami) and I promise you, these bite sized delights pack a culinary punch that last long after the tour.
4. **One short block that Taylor Swift rented on and later wrote a song about** (pass by, no stop) - It was a restaurant row long before that, and a few of them are still hanging on.
5. **Since opening in 2016 in the West Village, Taco Mahal has built a cult follow...** (15m) - Since opening in 2016 in the West Village, Taco Mahal has built a cult following for its bold fusion of Indian and Mexican flavors. Founded by Danikkah Josan, the concept blends her Indian roots and Latina heritage into something totally unique. This place is the real deal...
6. **We will try the world famous and food network favorite nonna Maria pizza** (20m) - Also, beer and wine available for purchase
7. **75 1/2 Bedford Street** (pass by, no stop) - Nine and a half feet wide, the narrowest house in New York. Edna St. Vincent Millay lived in it. You'll want a photo and you'll get about four feet to take it from.
8. **Cherry Lane Theatre** (pass by, no stop) - Off-Broadway started here. Founded in 1924 on a street most people never find, and still running, which in this city counts as a miracle.
9. **Six brick houses around a private courtyard, built in the 1850s and completel...** (pass by, no stop) - Six brick houses around a private courtyard, built in the 1850s and completely hidden unless you know to look through the gate. Most people walk past it every day.
10. **Friends Apartment Building** (pass by, no stop) - You've seen this corner about two hundred times. The apartment inside was never as big as the one on screen, and the restaurant on the ground floor is one of the neighborhood's harder tables to get.
11. **The oldest wooden house left in the Village** (pass by, no stop) - Fire codes ended construction like this in Manhattan, which is why there's essentially one of these and this is it.
12. **The Stonewall Inn** (pass by, no stop) - is such a huge historical site - literally and figuratively. We pass by the prideful institution as well as its new statue which was installed to commemorate it’s 50th anniversary.
13. **The oldest living thing in Manhattan, somewhere around three and a half centu...** (pass by, no stop) - The oldest living thing in Manhattan, somewhere around three and a half centuries. The name comes from a story historians can't confirm and locals refuse to give up.
14. **Washington Square Arch** (5m) - Stanford White's marble arch, built to mark a century since Washington's inauguration. The most photographed thing in the neighborhood and almost nobody knows what it's for.
15. **Washington Square Park** (15m) - is legendary. You’ve seen it in a ton of films, it’s the unofficial campus of NYU students and you’ll see some of the coolest people in the city here. Feed pigeons. Hear musicians and watch street performers. You never know what to expect. Oh except for the mighty arch which...
16. **The best falafel you’ll ever have in Manhattan or perhaps anywhere** (15m) - It’s no surprise they’ve been around since 1971 - the longest Middle Eastern spot in all of New York.
17. **Pommes Frites has the best fries in the city or probably anywhere** (30m) - Authentic Belgian fries that are double cooked and topped with extraordinary sauces - choose from over 30! Also - beer on tap and wine selection are available for purchase and YES we will be there long enough to finish it.
18. **The block that launched more careers than any other in New York** (pass by, no stop) - Comedy clubs, coffee houses, and the doorways where a lot of famous people got told no before they got told yes.
19. **Cafe Wha?** (pass by, no stop) - Bob Dylan's first night in New York was on this stage. Hendrix played here too. The room is still open, still small, and still doing the same thing.
20. **Comedy Cellar** (pass by, no stop) - The Comedy Cellar is New York City's legendary stand-up comedy club, presenting live comedy seven nights a week in the heart of Greenwich Village.
21. **Father Demo Square** (pass by, no stop) - A small triangle of park named for the priest who spent decades looking after the Italian families who built this neighborhood. The church he ran is still across the street.
