Itinerary
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.
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.
Since opening in 2016 in the West Village, Taco Mahal has built a cult following for its bold fusion of Indian and Mexican flavors. Founded by Danikkah Josan, the concept blends her Indian roots and Latina heritage into something totally unique. This place is the real deal with tacos served on fresh naan or roti, packed with rich curries, vibrant spices, and flavor you won’t find anywhere else in NYC.
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.
We will try the world famous and food network favorite nonna Maria pizza. Also, beer and wine available for purchase
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.
Pass by: 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.
Pass by: 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.
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.

Traveler reviews
Great Tour!
This was such a great time. Brian was so fun and knowledgeable. We had a group of 9 ladies. Brian took time to learn everyone’s names. Unfortunately it was raining most of the day so I can only imagine how much fun we would have had. But this tour was worth every penny. The pizza was my favorite stop!!
Highly recommend this tour! Come hungry!
Our tour guide, Amanda, was AMAZING! She obviously knew a lot about the area, but she also knew little facts about the neighborhoods, the streets, and all the places we ate at. We truly enjoyed walking the streets we wouldn't have found on our own. The restaurants they picked were perfect... by the time we reached the last stop, we were stuffed and satisfied! Highly recommend the tour! What a great area tour...away from the usual Times Square attractions.
Great walking food tour!
Highly recommend this tour! Our tour guide Amanda was phenomenal! Super friendly and great energy. The food we tried was delicious and we learned a lot of cool history along the way. Great time!
Loved it. Would highly recommend.
It wasn't just a food tour but a walking and history tour with a lot of cool information about the area and the buildings etc.
