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.

Molly's Cupcakes

Meeting point and ending point. 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.

Bleecker Street

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.

Faicco’s Italian Specialties

Taco Mahal

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 with tacos served on fresh naan or roti, packed with rich curries, vibrant spices, and flavor you won’t find anywhere else in NYC.

Friends Apartment Building

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.

Washington Square Park

Washington Square Park 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 is, of course, renowned.

Molly's Cupcakes, Bleecker Street, New York County New York, United States, US, 10014

You’d be hard-pressed to find better cupcakes in Manhattan. You can create your own cupcake concoctions (frosting, flavor, etc.) and the atmosphere is like a retro classroom. It’s too cool for school.

The best Greenwich Village Food Tour

We had the best time with Ian on the Greenwich Village Food tour! He was amazing and made the 3 hour tour go by quickly. Ian was super knowledgeable about the area and shared lots of fun stories and historic facts with us. We visited 6 delicious spots with more food than we could eat. I highly recommend Ian if you want to have a great tour!
