This tour will take you to discover the charming tree-lined streets of the historic West Village and to visit the most “mom and pop” specialty food shops and neighborhood restaurants – some in business for over 100 years.
Learn about the history, culture, and entertainment offerings that make Greenwich Village so unique and so different from the rest of New York City. During the tour you will be able to taste thin crust pizza from Joe’s, fresh filled cannoli from Rocco’s, delicious meatball with sauce from Pesce Pasta, lemon love letter donut from The Donut Project and more.
You will walk off the beaten path, and your guide will reveal to you unique and lovely gardens, the narrowest house in NYC, pristine homes from the 1850’s, tucked-away boot scrapers that Village-folk used in the 1800’s (and still today), and the explanation of why the Grid System does not exist in this section of Greenwich Village.
