We keep coming back for more!

This was our 4th Foods of NY tour. I keep coming back because we have enjoyed each one so much. This time, our tour guide was Rick, but we have done others with Robin and Bert. All the guys are knowledgeable about the area, funny and generally warm and friendly. I have enjoyed every bite and every minute. We always have great conversation with the other guests and if your visiting NYC and don't know where to go, the guides have a vast knowledge of neighborhoods and recommendations.

Highly recommend for great food and NY stories

Just returned from Original Greenwich Village tour with Rick as our guide. Everything was excellent. Rick was very personable and knowledgeable. He made sure everyone was together, knew where bathrooms were and refilled our water bottles for us. It was a very hot day and he did a great job keeping us in the shade as much as possible. The food was all very good! I liked Murray's mac and cheese and Jaine's cookie the best. The fish taco at Tacombi was delicious too. We'll be back for another tour soon. We've done almost every tour with Foods Tour of NY, some twice. Highly recommend every one of them!

Food Heaven in Greenwich Village!

I recently took the Foods of NY tour in Greenwich Village and had the fortune of having Ted as our guide. I love food tours and I’ve never had SO MUCH great food on a food tour before- the food at all the many local establishments we visited was delicious and the portions were very satisfying…. We all were so full at the end of the tour! Ted was so personable and gave us a great feel for the history of the area and the stories behind the restaurants. You could tell he loved Greenwich Village and his job. I would recommend this tour for anyone who loves history and great food!!

Fish tacos were fantastic!

Fun few hours touring Greenwich Village and checking out some of the food options. Marie was an excellent guide. Has lived in the Village all (most?) of her life. Had great insight as to the changes over time.
