Experience Details

A rare evening Food Crawl, Village Nights is designed for people who want to walk and talk and eat in one of the most influential neighborhoods on earth.


Village Nights starts at Astor Place and often stops at the oldest bar in the city, but no matter where we go, we’ll eat great food and weave together the narrative of this truly incredible place.


BUT this is not your normal food tour. We don't follow a fixed route. Instead the experienced, licensed guide will get the pulse of the group (max 8 participants) and draw from a big bag of options to make each experience a little more personal, memorable, and unique.


We’re licensed, professional guides who are always learning more about New York. That’s how we can run organic events that are less scripted and more like an eclectic group of friends out for a food crawl in the city.


Wear comfortable clothes and be prepared to walk. We cover a lot of ground and often eat standing up.

McSorley's Old Ale House

One of many extremely influential cultural spots we'll visit in the West Village.

Two Boots Pizza West Village

Not your normal New York slice, but Two Boots is a vibrant and colorful shop with outstanding food and a friendly atmosphere. It's in a space that used to house a lesbian bar that refused to serve men, but today Two Boots welcomes everybody. Interesting things happen here.
