West Village Food Tour in New York

The West Village Food Tour in New York has two benefits: you’ll sample local bites of the best family businesses, while you walk from one eatery to the next, you’ll see loads of West Village as well. The guide takes you and your small group on a tour visiting the favourite eateries of the locals, in one of the city’s liveliest neighbourhoods. After this tour full of bagels, cupcakes and other snacks, you won’t need to have lunch! And you may want to skip breakfast too.

Food Tour Through the West Village

In New York, you don’t have to look long and hard to find an eatery. But this is even better: a real New Yorker will show you the best spots and let you taste their favourites as well! With this tour, you walk through the picturesque West Village, a favourite of artists and celebrities alike. You’ll take a leisurely 4-kilometre stroll, along six different neighbourhood eateries. Your guide will tell you all about them. The tour starts at Bleecker Street, one of my favourite streets in New York, with its cosy atmosphere and its many nice eateries. You’ll start sampling straight away, with homemade soppressata and arancini made by Faicco’s Italian Specialities. The guide will then take you through hidden alleys and along New York’s famous brownstone houses and tells you all about the buildings and places that you pass. You may even recognise Monica’s house from Friends!

The Best Eateries

Along the way you stop at six of the area’s best eateries and discover hidden gems, you would have easily missed otherwise! Enjoy falafel at the city’s oldest falafel restaurant, Mamoun’s Falafel for example and – my personal favourite – a delicious slice of pizza at Bleecker Street Pizza. A New York Food tour isn’t complete without tasting bagels, of course, baked according to authentic New York recipe, boiling the dough before baking it. The tour ends after about three hours close to its starting point.

Eric’s Tip: You’ll eat so much during this tour, there’s no need to have lunch afterwards. Even at night, I still wasn’t hungry. Don’t book a restaurant for dinner just to be sure!
