We had a fun Saturday Food Tour with our guide Adam. We had an assortment of delicious ethnic foods from Greenwich Village and the West Village area. We went to a Falafel restaurant, two local pizza places, Cuban and Thai restaurants, a local butcher shop, and ended with a delicious cupcake. Plus it was an informative tour of the area. We walked by Monica’s apartment from Friends, Washington Square Park (loved it), Cafe Wha, Comedy Cellar, plus a lot more interesting places that make up the area. Adam was a great guide, he was funny, told us the history of the areas, made us all feel like friends, and you could tell he loved his job! Plus you definitely had enough of great tasting food for the day! This was definitely my favorite tour in NYC.

Alec was an awesome tour guide. He was considerate to everyone in the group. The food portions are not all just samples. My favorite was the pizza. I had no presumptions of what we were seeing or tasting on the tour. I was over excited to have been able to try many foods I wouldn’t of had ventured to try before! Also the landmarks on the tour were fun too! My favorite was the friends apartment building! I now am hoping to go in even more food tours because I enjoyed this one so much!
