A wealth of food options will be available from bagels with cream cheese, delicious, Margherita pizza (NYCs best!) Rice balls, falafel, award winning chocolates, and cupcakes. There’s plenty of walking to burn off those calories. Well see the sights of the gay liberation movement, the Friends apartment, many different historic and modern speakeasies, as well as the trendiest streets in NYC for music and nightlife. If the guest purchases one of every item as recommended by the guide they will spend $6 on food per person, before desserts.

    Yes, Book This!

    City Shuffles tours should absolutely be a "to do" for your trip in NYC. Jon has put together a personable and knowledgeable team who constantly delivers on their tours. For the Greenwich Village Food Tour, we had Mary as our guide (amazing!) and walked with a group of 11. It is large enough to feel like an event but somehow equally intimate to feel like a private tour. Our stops were a combination of sweet (cupcakes and chocolate) and savory (rice balls, falafel, bagels), and even if something is not your cup of tea then Mary has recommendations on where you can go with your friends after. For reference, it was only $8 total if you wanted to have a (large portion) taste at every stop. Even as city residents, we will continue to join these tours and grow our experiences in the city!

    The best tour!

    I recently went on two tours with Jon and it was absolutely fantastic! He was an incredible guide — knowledgeable, friendly, and super professional. Jon went above and beyond to create a wonderful experience for the whole group, and his passion for what he does really shows. Everything was perfectly organized and so enjoyable. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide — highly recommend! Don't hesitate, take Jon's tour.

    The Greenwich Village Food Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New York.

    How much does The Greenwich Village Food Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $35 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in New York usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does The Greenwich Village Food Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in New York is not rushed.

    Is The Greenwich Village Food Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in New York, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule The Greenwich Village Food Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is The Greenwich Village Food Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book The Greenwich Village Food Tour?

    +

    Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in New York can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in New York and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does The Greenwich Village Food Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central New York within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in New York?

    +

    New York has more bookable experiences than any other city on Outty, and the quality spread is brutal. Observation decks are commoditised, so we score them on timed-entry reliability and sunset slots. Food tours and borough walks are where the ranking really separates operators, and the top scores in the city all come from small-group guides. On Outty we rank every New York experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Grand Canyon VIP Helicopter Tour, Half-Day Bus Tour of NYC Top Highlights, NYC Bus Tour of Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens: Art, Food & Sports. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit New York?

    +

    September to early November, and late April through June. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in New York?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
