Editorial Review for Foods of New York Tours – by Citysearch Editors

Overview
Take a walking tour of Greenwich Village while tasting the delicacies the historic neighborhood has to offer at no extra cost. This exploration of the neighborhood's culture and sights features the Village's off-the-beaten-path food establishments, unique specialty food shops and their history. Stops include: the oldest wooden house in the Village (built in 1822); a landmark speakeasy from the 1920s; hidden courtyards and gardens; the narrowest house in the area (only nine-and-a-half feet wide); the old Italian neighborhood (dating back to 1900); and brownstones and row houses from the early to mid 1800s.

The Details
The food stops are not sit-down lunches and dinners--be ready to eat on the go. After the tour, pick up your information handout that contains a mini-restaurant guide, menus, lunch specials and more should you like to return to any of the establishments visited on the tour.

Editorial content is independent of paid advertisers. Any expenses are paid for by Citysearch.

I attended the Chelsea/Meat Packing Food Tour during a vacation to NYC. This tour was a hilight of my vacation. The tour guide was informative without becoming dull or talking too much and entertaining without becoming "cheesy". A comfortable atmosphere was maintained through the trip as the tour guide presented information, provided insights to the area, and presented food samples at various locations. Effrots were approrpiately made to accomodate food allergies (I'm allergic to shellfish - anothe tour member peanuts). The tour guide also maintained a comfortable pace so that we neither felt rushed nor lingered in one area too long. In addition, I was impressed that the guide was able to tactfully redirect questions and "dawdlers" so that the entire group was able to see as many places as possible and truly benefit from the tour. I can't wait to try all the other tours offered and will plan my next NYC vacation around doing so.

Pros: Informative, Comfortable, Friendly, Entertaining....

Cons: Tours fill quickly
