On this epic sustainable food tour, you get a sense of the entire neighborhood known as the Village from West to East, meeting the community and sampling food along the way with a local food expert by your side.
We start in the posh West Village where you'll wander through a maze of tree-lined streets right alongside historic brownstone homes.
Next, we delve into Greenwich Village which has been home to everyone from Italian immigrants, NYU students, bohemian artists, political activists, and musicians from little known Bob Dylan to up-and-comer Taylor Swift. We touch upon many of these groups to find out how they eat, drink, and live. Visit sandwich shops beloved by local students, an old school Italian market, and the iconic Washington Square Park.
Finally, we make your way into the East Village, which was once part of the Lower East Side, where you'll still find remnants of immigrant communities, including Little Germany, the Yiddish Rialto, and Ukrainian Village.
What's Included
