Overview

One of our NY hosts will help you navigate Greenwich Village, which is known as the center of New York's food map. You'll snack in a classic "mom and pop" food shop as you hear about the Italian immigrants who brought their incredible food culture with them, head to Joe's Pizza for one of their legendary slices, indulge in a freshly filled cannoli from Rocco's and don't forget to make room for some Sicilian arancini.

Our handpicked hosts are culinary connoisseurs and history buffs, bakers and bankers, students and seniors. Like the people who travel with us, they have different backgrounds and interests – but they’re all so passionate about the place they call home, they choose to spend their free time sharing it with the like-minded travelers matched to them.

Our tour guide was sweet, but we paid for a personalized premium experience and we did not get that. No real plan. Filled out an expansive questionnaire prior to tour but it seems like it was ignored. Will not book again
