Curated niche tour of the East Village with some amazing food stops

Had the best tour led by Meri! We had some amazing food (will be dreaming about those empanadas). Also loved learning about the history of the east village especially the punk rock era. Meri had some great anecdotes from her own experience of living in the area.

What a great day!

This tour was great! All the food was so good! Bought food to go home with from almost every place. Meri knew so much history and answered all of my children’s questions and then some. Would highly recommend!
