4 ICONIC FOODS. 4 LEGENDARY LOCAL SPOTS. 4 HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOODS.Gorge on a visual and literal feast as we explore hidden corners of the city that most visitors miss. WHY THIS TOUR?• THE FOOD: We’ll eat bagels, dumplings, pizza, and tacos - four pillars of New York’s edible soul.• THE STORY: Learn about the immigrants who brought these foods to New York and how each grew beyond its cultural cradle to become a global culinary superstar.• EXTREME PERSONALIZATION: We are independent, professional guides, not a big corporation constantly hiring new guides. We’re locals who continue to explore. We aren’t stuck to a fixed route and we love making the occasional fun detour to fulfill a guest's wish.• SIDEWALK ALCHEMY: We believe in the power of the city to expand minds.Note: Our route varies slightly based on guest input and the pulse of the neighborhood. This tour walks a little further and dives a little deeper than the average trek—come hungry and wear comfortable shoes!

A rare evening food crawl through Greenwich Village, Village Nights is for people who want to walk, talk, and eat their way through one of the most influential mega-hoods on earth.We start at Astor Place and usually stop at one of the city’s oldest bars - but the route is never the same. We don't follow a fixed path. Instead, your licensed, experienced guide reads the vibe of the group (max 8 guests) and curates a personal mix of bites, stories, and hidden corners.And because our guide isn't wearing branding, we look less like a tour group and more like an eclectic group of friends out for a night on the town.We cover plenty of ground, and often eat on our feet, so please wear comfortable shoes and come hungry for food, and to soak up that big nighttime Village energy.
