3 hours

Easy

Taste your way through Greenwich Village on a 3-hour walk with 5+ included food tastings and no more than 8 guests. From St. Anthony of Padua Church to Bleecker Street’s Italian shops, discover the people and flavors that shaped this corner of New York.

Follow the Village’s Italian roots past historic churches, family-run food shops and streets with stories hiding in plain sight. Your guide connects immigrant history and architecture to the places you see, shares personal recommendations and helps capture your favorite moments.

Come hungry for savory and sweet tasting-sized bites—think fresh pasta, arancini, Italian meatballs and a bakery treat. Explore shops such as Raffetto’s and Faicco’s, then finish near Pasticceria Rocco. Tastings may vary by day.

The easy-paced walk leaves time to taste, ask questions and take in the Village rather than rush from stop to stop.
