Because we were only 3 people in this tour, it gave us an opportunity to ask Ian a lot of questions about the area and the restaurants we visited, and he was extremely friendly and knowledgeable.
We also shared personal stories that made this tour even more special.
Beer and wine available for purchase at two of our stops. Beyond the food stops, you will explore the most iconic streets and hidden corners of Greenwich Village on this guided walking tour through one of New York City’s most historic neighborhoods. The route includes stops at Father Demo’s Square, Manetta Lane, Manetta Tavern, Cafe Wha, McDougle Street, and NYU, before opening up into Washington Square Park and the famous Arch. You’ll also see the Hangman’s Elm, Washington Square Hotel, the Friends building, Grove Court, the narrowest house in New York, the oldest wooden house in the Village, Cherry Lane Theatre, and Cornelia Street, once home to Taylor Swift, all while uncovering the stories that give the Village its unmistakable character.
Departure Point
- You’d be hard-pressed to find better cupcakes in Manhattan. You can create your own cupcake concoctions (frosting, flavor, etc.) and the atmosphere is like a retro classroom. It’s too cool for school.

Points of Interest
Stop At: Molly's Cupcakes
228 Bleecker Street, New York, NY 10014
Meeting point and ending point. We finish up at this award-winning cupcake place. It’s too-cool-for-school with desks, retro lunch boxes and even swings. Oh and cupcakes to die for.
Duration: 5 minutes
Stop At: Mamoun's Falafel
119 MacDougal Street, New York, NY 10012
The best falafel you’ll ever have in Manhattan or perhaps anywhere. It’s no surprise they’ve been around since 1971 - the longest Middle Eastern spot in all of New York.
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: Artichoke Basille's Pizza
111 MacDougal Street, New York, NY 10012
This West Village institution is renowned for their namesake pizza and while they have other delicious pizzas, we go with their double-crusted, creamy work of art: the artichoke slice. And no you don’t have to like artichokes to love this slice!
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: Pommes Frites
128 MacDougal Street, New York, NY 10012
Pommes Frites has the best fries in the city or probably anywhere. Authentic Belgian fries that are double cooked and topped with extraordinary sauces - choose from over 30! Also - beer on tap and wine selection are available for purchase and YES we will be there long enough to finish it.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Bleecker Street Pizza
69 7th Avenue South, New York, NY 10014
We will try the world famous and food network favorite nonna Maria pizza. Also, beer and wine available for purchase
Duration: 20 minutes
Stop At: Washington Square Park Audio Tour
5 Ave, Waverly Pl., W. 4 St. and Macdougal St, New York City, New York
Washington Square Park is legendary. You’ve seen it in a ton of films, it’s the unofficial campus of NYU students and you’ll see some of the coolest people in the city here. Feed pigeons. Hear musicians and watch street performers. You never know what to expect. Oh except for the mighty arch which is, of course, renowned.
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: Little Owl
90 Bedford Street, New York, NY 10014
No, there isn’t really a Central Perk and yes, they filmed Friends in Los Angeles ...but for you 'Friends' fans, you can check out the outside of their apartment. They shot the facade footage here. Clap clap clap clap.
Duration: Not Available
Stop At: The Stonewall Inn
53 Christopher St, , New York City, New York
The Stonewall Inn is such a huge historical site - literally and figuratively. We pass by the prideful institution as well as its new statue which was installed to commemorate it’s 50th anniversary.
Duration: Not Available
Stop At: Faicco’s Italian Specialties
260 Bleecker Street, New York, NY 10014
Faicco's has so many items that will make your mouth water. We sample their arancini (rice ball) and sopressata (salami) and I promise you, these bite sized delights pack a culinary punch that last long after the tour.
Duration: 10 minutes

Was an amazing and really informative 3 hours with David. He made the tour so interesting and fun. Highly recommend.
Kris_S
This was so fun! Just the right amount of food, and history, and walking. We had the great pleasure of having a solo tour with David, probably due to the cold and windy nyc day. He took us to hole in the wall places with simply amazing food. Highly recommend this tour!
Barbara_L
This was a fun tour that included Greenwhich Village history and plenty of good food, strategically paced so we could eat and not get too full. Ian was great.
