Greenwich Village is one of the most popular neighborhoods in NYC, with many stars living there, and their shows and movies being filmed there! A wealth of food options will be available from bagels with cream cheese, delicious, Margherita pizza (NYCs best!) Rice balls, falafel, award winning chocolates, and cupcakes.

City Shuffles tours should absolutely be a "to do" for your trip in NYC. Jon has put together a personable and knowledgeable team who constantly delivers on their tours. For the Greenwich Village Food Tour, we had Mary as our guide (amazing!) and walked with a group of 11. It is large enough to feel like an event but somehow equally intimate to feel like a private tour. Our stops were a combination of sweet (cupcakes and chocolate) and savory (rice balls, falafel, bagels), and even if something is not your cup of tea then Mary has recommendations on where you can go with your friends after. For reference, it was only $8 total if you wanted to have a (large portion) taste at every stop. Even as city residents, we will continue to join these tours and grow our experiences in the city!
I recently went on two tours with Jon and it was absolutely fantastic! He was an incredible guide — knowledgeable, friendly, and super professional. Jon went above and beyond to create a wonderful experience for the whole group, and his passion for what he does really shows. Everything was perfectly organized and so enjoyable. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide — highly recommend! Don't hesitate, take Jon's tour.
Jon is an excellent guide! The tour was very interesting, and the food very good. Next time in New York I will call Jon for another tour

Fantastic tour with Jon - he was really knowledgeable and great fun. The food was incredible and the whole experience was great value. Highly recommended.
Amazing tour with Jon today. He was very knowledgeable, informative and impressionable. He took us to great places to eat and a few where you could learn about the history of the area.
An amazing tour of Greenwich with a lot of history, culture and most importantly delicious food! I particularly liked the pizza but every food stop was amazing! The guide was also really nice and knew so much niche Greenwich and New York facts and tips. 10/10 recommend
Jon was super knowledgeable and the tour was very organized! A great way of getting to see Greenwich Village/a bit of West Village and learn some of the history behind the buildings/sites. The food choices were great too!
Great tour! Mary was my tour guide and she was very informative. All of the food venues we visited were top quality, great variety and Mary left me with even more recommendations we didn’t have time for.
