Recognised as the bohemian capital, Greenwich Village has long been an epicentre for grass roots activism and social change. It’s a historic, vibrant and ethnically diverse neighbourhood in New York City, which will be reflected in this food tour as we highlight some of the best small, multi-cultural and women-owned businesses.
The tour begins in Washington Square Park, famous for its arch built in 1871 and fountain. Learn about the park’s history including its role in protests, rallies and performances before wandering through the charming streets of Greenwich Village. Admire the historic brownstones as well as iconic buildings including the Stonewall Inn, the birthplace of modern LGBTQ+ rights movement, and the former homes of literary legends Edgar Allan Poe and Mark Twain.
But it’s not all sightseeing as you’ll stop at 5 different tasting locations to savour some delicious food! Tuck into a mouthwatering taco and watermelon aqua fresca at Tacombi, an authentic Mexican taqueria. Enjoy a twist to the classic Columbian empanada at Nadas Empanadas and a steamed bun from Munchiez by Mei Lai Wah. To satisfy those sweet cravings, bite into a unique flavoured doughnut at The Doughnut Project and cool down with a locally sourced cup of frozen yoghurt from the celebrity favourite, Culture NY.
