You can even end your Brooklyn adventure by walking back to Manhattan across the most famous Brooklyn landmark, the Brooklyn Bridge, or ride back on the coach to the starting point of the tour in Greenwich Village.

This walking tour explores the musicians (e.g., Buddy Holly, John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix, Barbra Streisand, Bruce Springsteen, Lady Gaga, and Taylor Swift), artists (e.g., Edward Hopper, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney), writers (e.g., Mark Twain, Edith Wharton), actors, muckrakers, comedians (e.g., Jerry Seinfeld), rebels, architects, entrepreneurs, and innovators who lived and worked in the Village. If you enjoy culture and the arts, beautiful architecture, and fascinating stories, this tour is for you! The list of stops provides a few of the tour highlights.

2 INDOOR restaurant tastings are included on this tour! At Foods of New York Tours we are the pioneers of NYC food tours since 1999! Join us on a delicious “multi–ethnic” food tasting and cultural/historical journey through the Heart & Soul of Greenwich Village (The Central Village – the area surrounding Washington Square Park and New York University). Find out why this area of the Village is so popular for its diverse food scene, rich history, culture, counter culture, distinct architecture, and vibrant Greenwich Village nightlife. We will also visit Washington Square Park and learn about its radical protesters, infamous hanging tree, the Washington Square Arch, and walk the same streets that Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, and Amy Schumer did while learning about the music and comedy scene, and why this section of NYC can only be described as The Village!
