I have taken several food walking in NYC -- and this was, by far, the best one. Greg was so knowledgeable and fun! It felt like walking and talking with family or friends! We learned so much -- and ate even more. Great variety of foods -- and so plentiful! I can't wait to get back to NYC to take another one of his tours.

This walking food tour was amazing. Greg is wonderful. He is knowledgeable of the neighborhood and food. He provided great stories along the way and was well known in the area, so many people said Hi to Greg. The food samples were awesome and plentiful and diverse, with sweets and sandwiches and cheeses. I would highly recommend any tour with Greg, he is a great ambassador for the area.

We wanted to see Lower Manhattan on our latest trip to NYC. SO why not a Walking Food Tour? We reserved a spot with GregWalksNYC for a chance to see Little Italy and Greenwich Village. What a treat! The tour started at St. Anthony's church where we sampled the most decadent chocolates while Greg told us about the building and the Italian immigrant families who founded it more than a century ago. As we strolled thru the neighborhood, we learned the stories behind the storefronts. The market where fresh pasta is made daily...we had authentic hand-rolled meatballs and rich creamy, (Arborio)rice pudding. We drank cappuccinos from a family importing coffees and teas for generations. We ate wonderful lunchmeats and finished with Italian pastries. When Greg leads the tour you won't get an inside look.you will become an insider.

The guide was phenomenal with lots of local connections and anecdotes. We enjoyed every bit along with the time spent venturing through the greenwhich villiage area.

Greg is the best!! Very communicative with planning (he called us up to advise on if we wanted to take the tour when we were planning to on a rainy day or switch and he slotted us in on a nicer day which was so thoughtful). The tour was quite comprehensive of the South Village’s Italian culture. Greg is super personable and really knows his stuff!! He has 10 years of experience and I couldn’t recommend him more! The food was incredible- Do not miss this tour!!
