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…

Fantastic Experience!

by ragskne at 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
